Just read this. Is anyone on here going?

Frankfurt motor show 2017 - new cars worth looking out for

A conceptual version of Jaguar's first electric car was shown last year, but this is the first time we'll see the car you'll actually be able to buy. It's expected to offer a driving range of 310 miles and should cost from around £50,000 to buy - making it cheaper than its sole rival, the Tesla Model X.

Yup, I'm going.

This is the first time I've seen it in print that the production version may be there with any certainty.

Where did you see this?

E-shot from What Car Magazine, they should know what they are talking about...

Look forward to your feedback after a touch and feel of the car 👍

There are a few gossip sites that published this. I asked one t of them for their source, and they told me "a product manager at the Geneva motor show" told them...

My money is still on 'nope'. Btw: the concept has a new colour: white, introduced today. Would they introduce a new colour a week before showing the production version? I mean, I hope I am wrong, but my money is on 'No'

Best pictures I can find of it so far:

Got an email from my dealer confirming the production car is at Frankfurt, then said it should appear on the Jag configurator soon after, it's looking very positive...

Copule more angles from the concept at the TechFest show

 

[Rob]

That's good to hear. I know the E-Pace is making an appearance but that's already been revealed so it would make sense for the I-Pace to make its debut.

I side with John, there's no point that they repaint the car and show the real deal,
also, jag these days loves dramatic entrances, and we've yet heard of anything about the I-Pace.

 

[Gadgetdriver]

Promising!

If it's there I guess you'll get a good look at it before I get there. I think my first day is the 20th and the press, trade and public will beat me to it!

I'll be photographing every angle I can get at.

I will be in Frankfurt on Saturday 16 and will post the relevant pics and news.. fingers crossed...

 

[queue6616]

I think it's been somehow confirmed
(see 17:00)
Ian said the the concept car had been repainted the third time to be shown at Frankfurt Auto show

From Automotive News:

Jaguar's I-Pace crossover will not make an appearance as a production model at next week's Frankfurt auto show. This looks like a missed opportunity after JLR announced an electric makeover for all its vehicles from 2020. The automaker apparently fears that huge interest in the EV might detract from other models in its lineup..

JLR Tech Fest definitely worth the visit to get up close to the I-Pace dressed in white, also virtual tour which shows the interior off nicely.

Only 5 hours left though, so hurry if you want to catch it!

No news on the production I-Pace from Frankfurt. Sorry for getting peoples hopes up. Guess we need to wait a little longer. They clearly want to do something big with the I-Pace launch and not be overshadowed by other new cars. Kind of makes sense...

 

[Rob]

I see they now say it will be released late 2018.

We may have to wait until the Geneva show for the production car...

I had great trouble working out how to add photos to the forum, so I created a slideshow ...
