Last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar announced the C-X16 Concept and because the market’s reaction was so positive, the company decided to offer a production version. The new sports car will be named F-Type and will be announced later in 2012 with sales to begin in mid 2013.
The future Jaguar F-Type will be powered by a new 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers a total of 250 HP in a normally aspirated version and 375 HP in the supercharged R version. Jaguar has also confirmed that the future F-Type will be built as a two-seater convertible and will feature all-aluminum construction. The model will be priced under the current XK, or at about $85,000.
"That car will be called the F-TYPE, and it will be unveiled in production form later this year. The core appeal of Jaguar’s cars is their sporting heart, and that heart will beat stronger than ever before in the F-TYPE. Its development is a vivid representation of the confidence and ambition of the Jaguar brand, and the desire amongst our engineers and design team to produce a world-leader in a market segment that we have been absent from for too long. But no longer ? the F-TYPE is coming."
UPDATE 08/10/2012: Jaguar has officially confirmed that the new F-Type roadster will be making its world debut at the Paris Motor Show on September 27, 2012. The model will be offered with a choice of three engines: Jaguar?s all-new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine with an output of either 340 or 380 HP and the existing supercharged 5.0-liter V8. All engine options will drive the rear wheels through an eight-speed transmission and will be equipped with Stop/Start technology. Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar Cars, said: "The unveiling of the F-TYPE in Paris will be a truly significant day in Jaguar?s history as it will mark the company?s return to the sports car market, a market it originally helped to create."
