Last July, professional stunt person Terry Grant went barrelling through the air to launch the new Jaguar E-Pace. This followed Grant"s loop-the-loop in an F-Pace, and at the time, we pondered what on earth Jaguar Land Rover would do next. A slingshot around the moon? Turns out we were nearly right. Jaguar Racing test driver Ho-Pin Tung drove a Range Rover Sport PHEV up a dizzying 999 steps towards Heaven"s Gate" in China, becoming the first vehicle to have ever done so. There"s good reason why no car has ever attempted such a feat. It"s utterly, utterly terrifying. Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps up a 45-degree incline with no margin for error (he rolls back down the hill, he"s gone) has generally up until now done a fine job of keeping mankind at arm"s length.
