New Jaguar Brand Promo video – David Gandy: Escapism

New Jaguar Brand Promo video: David Gandy: Escapism Somebody at Jaguar PR has a fondness for British model David Gandy, and they’ve turned his profile in to an ongoing promo for all things Jaguar in recent months. We had the good Mr Gandy (who hails from the home of Cars UK – Billericay) driving an XK120 earlier this year with Yasmin le Bon in the Mille Miglia, and this time Jaguar are aiming at the ladies with a brand promo video featuring David driving classic Jags but focusing in on the heritage and appeal of the new F-Type in the process. Jaguar introduced the film at the Goodwood Revival earlier this month, but now we get the full release of the film - David Gandy: Escapism – with David explaining his passion for cars – and in particular his passion for Jaguar cars – with the film including not just the new F-Type, but the inspiration for the F-Type – the Jaguar E-Type – and perhaps the most appealing, and rare, Jaguar of all – the Jaguar XK-SS.

Our first reaction was to throw our hands up in horror and declare it sacrilege, until we decided to ignore our preconceptions and prejudices and look at the benefits an electric motor could bring to a Rolls Royce. Benefits like absolute silence – long a Rolls Royce claim, rarely a Rolls Royce reality – and huge waves of torque that arrive let a Tsunami that never ends.
