Jaguar F-Type. Damn.

[Stevisiov]

It's certainly a good looking car, it's nice to see jaguar are getting things right again.

The site I read estimated it to be around 50,000GBP which is around $80,000, I think.

What gets me though is that this car was touted as Jaguar's affordable, entry level car. But, if it's going to start at $80,000 though, it might as well just be the new XK as you can pick one of them up for $85,000. It almost looks like Jaguar would be pulling an Acura move.

I was expecting a price around the 30k mark. That'd put it in competition with the Boxster and Z4.

Someone call a docotor as i think i am sick after seeing that red interior.

 

[gorsad]

It seems they're actually going to build it. The car will be called the F-type, and will be virtually unchanged form the concept.

[AlexGTV]

It's not bad, but I expected something more elegant from Jaguar.

 

[gorsad]

It's a bit like a box, is it not. Would be much better if they just kept the car exactly the same as the concept, then it'd be brilliant.

 

[Crushed]

It's... It's beautiful

 

[Slash]

I like it.

 

[Conza]

I dreamed about this car before it was announced! Seriously weird, but if the car is 90% as good as the C-X16, it'll be brilliant - and about bloody time Jaguar! Not that your recent other works haven't been good either, but yeah.

 

[DeathSmiles]

Seriously disappointed its not coming out first as a COUPE. Not a convertible guy...

Jaguar confirmed the F-Type will feature a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine.

Both engines will be paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmissions and the V-6 will also benefit from engine stop-start technology.

Starting with the supercharged 3.0-liter V-6, Jaguar says the engine is based on a similar design used for its existing supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 and that it will come in two different states of tune: 340 and 380 horsepower. The 380-horsepower version will be reserved for the F-Type sports car. Key features of the design are direct injection technology, variable valve timing and aluminum construction.

The CX-16/ F-Type looks set to be an incredible piece of machinery, I can't wait to see how the production model comes out

 

[Beeblebrox237]

These renderings are probably a good indicator of what the F-type will look like. And I think it is fantastically beautiful!

 

[sumbrownkid]

Thanks beeble I need a change of pants.

 

[kikie]

My next car.

 

[Robin]

It still looks the same as the concept so there's no real new-ness about it.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Thanks beeble I need a change of pants.

You're welcome

 

[TheEnd35000vr]

Very Ferrari California'esque, shall we say.

Reminds me vaguely of the Jaguar CX-75 Concept from a few years ago..

Either way, this car is just drop-dead gorgeous. First properly attractive Jag I've seen in years!! 👍

 

[RocZX]

Spy shots....Jalopnik

[NissanSkylineN1]

The new F-Type. Its ok if you get a bit aroused.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Have to say, I think it looks a complete mess.. I seem to remember the concept looking alright, but this... not so much.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Do we not already have a thread about this? Guess not.

Well, I think that the F-type is fantastic. It looks good, should be great to drive, and is generally awesome.

 

[Doog]

The front is gorgeous, the profile is neat, but the back looks like some sort of fictional Hotwheels car- that isn't a compliment. Still, a nice array of engines and transmissions, and an interior that makes the XK's look medieval is enough to sway me away from those weird taillights.

 

[G.T.Ace]

I absolutely dislike the rear. Front looks neat, but the back, especially from the side, is horrid in my opinion.

 

[tronrider345]

If it's a F-Type , why does it say S on the front picture ? :S

Sooouupercharger in the Jaaag?

 

[Doog]

Maybe Jaguar are in the niche-filling mood. Have an F-Type R and possibly an F-Type RS? Why not an S in between? 💡
Or of course, it could slot below the R, which is likely.

 

[Kent]

Awesome, jag at the best in 20 years imo. So tired of the xk. :yawn:

 

[Beeblebrox237]

The trim levels go F-Type, F-Type S, F-Type V8 S.
