'Baby Driver' Star Gets Behind the Wheel of a Jag
Ansel Elgort has traded in his red Subaru WRX for an all-electric Jaguar I-Pace.
Ahead of the 2018 New York Auto Show, Jaguar had the Baby Driver star put his driving skills to the test by taking the new I-Pace on the Jaguar Smart Cone Challenge. Naturally it was all captured on camera, with the action taking place at Seret Studios in Brooklyn ahead if the I-Pace’s North American debut in New York.
As an all-electric crossover, the Jaguar I-Pace is quite different than the turbocharged Subaru WRX that Elgort mostly drove in the movie Baby Driver. But the I-Pace does offer all-wheel-drive performance like the WRX, and offers even more performance with 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque.
