The 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show was home to Jaguar’s debut of the C-X16 Concept and since the market’s reaction was so positive, the company has decided to offer a production version. After a long period of teasing, the new Jaguar F-Type has officially been unveiled at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
The model will be offered in three different trim levels: F-Type, F-Type S, and F-Type V8 S. It will also come with a choice of two engines: a 3-liter supercharged V6 and a 5.0 liter V8 engine. The V6 version delivers 340 or 380 HP, depending on the trim level, while the V8 is only being offered in a 495 HP version. The F-Type was built on the most advanced rigid and lightweight aluminum architecture and with a total weight of just 3,521 lbs, it can hit speeds of up to 186 mph.
"Jaguar is a founding member of the sports car segment with a rich sporting bloodline stretching over 75 years, and in the F-TYPE we?ve reignited that flame. The F-TYPE isn?t designed to be like anyone else?s sports car. It?s a Jaguar sports car ? ultra-precise, powerful, sensual and, most of all, it feels alive," said Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar.
UPDATE 10/01/2012: Just few days after debuting the F-Type Roadster in Paris, Jaguar has now put up a full online configurator for the luxury sports car. Create the F-Type of your dreams, but also know that Jaguar has released pricing details too. The starting price for the F-Type Roadster is $69,000, while the F-Type S comes in at $81,000 and the F-Type V8 S at $92,000. Those added options may mean a much higher price tag too.
UPDATE 11/22/2012: Jaguar F-Type will make its North American debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, but until then the company has unveiled a pretty cool video from the car’s official presentation at the Chicago ALIVE Driving Experience.
