To show consumers just how roomy the interior of its XJL cabin is, [Jaguar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-type-00) set up a [drone race](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-village-in-the-sky) dubbed the 'Game of Drones.' The Jaguar XJL cabin boasts extra five inches of rear legroom in comparison to the standard wheelbase XJ.

For the course, professional racers expertly piloted the [high-speed drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arivia-watersurface-drone) through 13 gates in the shape of the Jaguar XJL's rear door. As the drones soared through the gates, they lit up in Phosphor Blue and Red colors to represent the interior lighting options available.

The Game of Drones setup was inspired by a new challenge that will be apart of Jaguar's worldwide Art of Performance Tour, which will allow fans to test-drive the latest models from the brand in a cat and mouse-style chase.
