Jaguar has something special planned for the debut of the all-new XF.

Before the car is revealed under the lights at the 2015 New York Auto Show next week, it will perform a daring tightrope walk for all to see. It will take place in London today at 3 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time).

Jim Dowdall, an action movie veteran who has done stunts in Bond, Bourne and Indiana Jones films will drive the XF across two 34 millimeter wires suspended high above water.

The 2016 Jaguar XF will be built on the British automaker’s new aluminum-intensive architecture, which will help the car lose plenty of weight. Expect the 2016 Jaguar XF to be sold in the U.S. this fall.
