Stunning examples of the Jaguar XF, XK and new F‑TYPE will also be displayed at Motor Expo.

New engine option for Jaguar XF

The Jaguar XF has received an impressive five awards** from UK media in 2013, and continues to be the best‑selling product in the Jaguar range.  In a move which will delight fleet decision makers in the UK, Jaguar will launch a new powertrain option for the XF executive car. Full product details of the new Jaguar XF will be announced on 11 June at Fleet News Company Car in Action, which runs over 11/12 June at the Millbrook vehicle development facility near Bedford.  Also on display and available to test will be a comprehensive line‑up of Jaguar products, including the new F‑TYPE sports car.

F‑TYPE set to entertain the crowds at Cholmondeley Pageant of Power

At the sixth annual Cholmondeley Pageant of Power, which will be held in Cheshire from 14‑16 June, a new Jaguar F‑TYPE V8S finished in Salsa Red will be driven in demonstration laps on each day of the event.  With its specifically‑tuned 5.0‑litre, supercharged V8 engine producing 495PS, the new F‑TYPE is sure to provide a visual and aural treat to spectators at the event.

Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover UK said: "June is an exciting month for Jaguar in the UK. We are taking multiple opportunities to present to prospective customers the very latest in our exciting product range.

"The recent growth of Jaguar Land Rover is a result of the ongoing investment the company makes annually in product development. The launches of F‑TYPE, XJR and a new powertrain in the XF highlight the desire of the company to meet the needs of a diverse car buying audience in its home market."
