IN DETAIL

(Whitley, Coventry - 08 January 2016) José Mourinho has mastered the art of high speed drifting and full throttle ice driving on a 60km frozen lake at #jaguar Land Rover’s extreme testing facility in Arjeplog, Sweden.

The sporting icon was testing a high performance #jaguar #fpace S as part of an extreme driver training experience just 40 miles from the Arctic Circle. In 2017, the #jaguar Ice Drive Experience will be available to customers from all over the world.*

José Mourinho said: “The experience was magnificent. For people in my world, I think a few days in a place like this is magnificent.”

In temperatures as low as -30˚, Mourinho’s driving skills were tested to their extreme limit in the #jaguar #fpace by Finnish professional driver, Tommi Karrinaho.

Mourinho said: “I am always learning. Even in football, which is an area that obviously I feel that I’m an expert, I’m never perfect and I always learn.

“The flying lap with Tommi sent my adrenaline soaring. It’s something I’ve only ever experienced before when I have walked out in front of 80,000 football fans.”

Mourinho is experiencing widespread interest about his future, but in the isolation of Jaguar’s extreme testing facility in Sweden, the three-time Premier League-winning manager was philosophical about his next move.

Mourinho said: “I have worked for as long as I can remember as a manager and this is now the second time I have stopped in 16 years.  So it’s not a drama, but for sure I will be back soon.”

Mourinho, who owns a #jaguar F-TYPE Coupé and has already placed an order for the new #jaguar #fpace, insists he will be staying in England for the foreseeable future.

“This is a moment when my family needed some stability and my wife and I made the decision to stay in London. It's an amazing place to live, an amazing place for them (my children) to study. I don't know where football will take me because in football you never know, but for sure as a family our home will still be in London,” added Mourinho.

The #jaguar #fpace offers an unrivalled blend of performance, design and practicality. To ensure that every system functions perfectly even under the most extreme conditions, the new F-PACE has been subjected to one of the most demanding test programmes the company has ever devised.
