2014 Jaguar F-TYPE

Canadian Models and MSRP1

(Prices do not include $1,350destination and delivery):

The F-TYPE is a continuation of a sporting bloodline that stretches back more than 75 years and includes some of the most beautiful, thrilling and desirable sports cars ever built. With a lightweight aluminum architecture, the all-new Jaguar F-TYPE represents a return to the company's heart: a two-seat, convertible sports car focused on performance, agility and driver involvement.

The Jaguar F-TYPE combines a lightweight chassis, prodigious power (340hp, 380hp and 495hp versions) and superb aerodynamics to achieve a pure sports car experience, yet with Jaguar elegance and luxury. All engines drive through an eight-speed 'Quickshift' automatic transmission, with a center console-mounted SportShift gear selector and steering wheel-mounted paddles for full manual control when desired.

This true two-seat sports car features a driver-focused interior that melds classic roadster feel with high-tech controls. The new F-TYPE embodies a more purist sports car approach, while the larger, roomier XK Coupe and Convertible models offer a true grand touring driving experience, with emphasis on long-distance comfort and luxury.
