Summary

How did Ford build the GT in 18 months? Why did they create a new truck segment with the Raptor, and how has that thinking bled over to Land Rover? Jamal Hameedi is the answer. He is the Director of Special Vehicle Operations at Jaguar Land Rover and the reason Land Rover is debuting the fastest and most exciting Defender to date: the Octa. Before he joined JLR, he was the Chief Performance Engineer and head of SVT at Ford. It was under his eye that Ford made both generations of the Ford GT, decided to build the first Raptor, and launched numerous Shelby Mustangs. https://www.landroverusa.com/defender/defender-octa/index.html Recorded June 20, 2024 Head to https://www.FACTORMEALS.com/tire50 and use code tire50 to get 50% off your first box plus 20% off your next month.
