MAHWAH, N.J., (September 20, 2012) ‑ The F‑TYPE, Jaguar's
all‑new sports car, will make its public debut in just one week's
time, at the Paris Auto Show on Thursday, September 27th,
2012.
A front‑engined, rear‑wheel drive convertible, three models of
F‑TYPE will be available. Powered respectively by 340hp and 380hp
versions of Jaguar's new 3.0‑liter V6 supercharged engine and a new
derivative of its 5.0‑liter V8 supercharged unit, each F‑TYPE is
engineered for pure dynamic driving reward and stunning
performance.
A man who knows better than most the driving experience that the
F‑TYPE will deliver is Mike Cross, Chief Engineer, Vehicle
Integrity, Jaguar: "Fundamentally, a great sports car is one you'll
look forward to driving because it's fun, and the
F‑TYPE definitely delivers on that score. We've worked hard to
make sure that responses to steering, throttle and brakes are
absolutely immediate, a task made far easier by the rigid aluminum
structure at the car's base. It's precise and exciting, a car that
you'll want to drive for the sake of driving alone ‑ and it sounds
fantastic!"
To get a taste of how the F‑TYPE handles, view and share dynamic
test footage of Mike's team in action here Jaguar YouTube.
On September 27th, the Jaguar Paris Auto Show press conference
will take place at 8 am CEST (2 am EDT) on stand 101, hall 5.1.
