The F‑TYPE, Jaguar's all‑new sports car, will make its public debut on Thursday 27th September, at the Paris Auto Show.
A front‑engined, rear‑wheel drive convertible, three models of F‑TYPE will be available. Powered respectively by 340PS and 380PS versions of Jaguar's new 3.0‑litre V6 supercharged petrol engine and a new derivative of its 5.0‑litre V8 supercharged unit, each F‑TYPE is engineered for pure dynamic driving reward and stunning performance.
A man who knows better than most the driving experience that the F‑TYPE will deliver is Mike Cross, Chief Engineer, Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar:"Fundamentally, a great sports car is one you'll look forward to driving because it's fun, and the F‑TYPE definitely delivers on that score. We've worked hard to make sure that responses to steering, throttle and brakes are absolutely immediate, a task made far easier by the rigid aluminium structure at the car's base. It's precise and exciting, a car that you'll want to drive for the sake of driving alone ‑ and it sounds fantastic!"
