Jaguar F-Type
Purposeful, beautiful and timeless: the new Jaguar F-Type looks more dramatic than ever and embodies Jaguar design DNA in its purest form.
The perfect proportions are instantly recognisable, but the new F-Type looks even more focused and assertive, and references the beautiful flowing forms from Jaguar's rich sports car heritage.
Super-slim pixel LED headlights with subtly updated 'Calligraphy' J signature daytime running lights and sweeping direction indicators blend perfectly into the 'liquid metal' surfacing of the new clamshell bonnet. The new front bumpers and subtly enlarged grille deliver even more visual impact and presence.
The rear haunches enhance the F-Type's inherently dramatic, purposeful form, and sweep downwards to the slender rear LED lights with 'Chicane' signature introduced by the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE Performance SUV.
Inside, the driver-focused '1+1' cabin envelops the occupants with luxurious materials such as Sienna Tan Windsor Leather, Suedecloth, Alcantara, and satin-finish Noble Chrome, while Jaguar's craftsmanship is embodied in beautiful details such as monogram stitching on the seats and door trim. These touches blend seamlessly with the new 12.3-inch reconfigurable HD TFT instrument cluster and Touch Pro infotainment system.
Form follows function, and one of a Jaguar's functions is to look beautiful. Evolved from its predecessor's World Car Design-winning form, the new F-Type's breath-taking looks are characterised by the super-slim Pixel LED headlights, which enhance the car's purposeful, confident stance.

2020 Jaguar F-Type revealed with revised looks, no V6 engine
Fresh-faced sports car will arrive early next year with 296bhp four-cylinder and choice of two V8s, but no six-pot
Jaguar has overhauled the F-Type sports car with new styling and technology to take on the latest Porsche 911.
The targets were to give it a “more assertive” look, to improve key elements like the infotainment system and to lift materials quality to the level of more recently launched models, such as the I-Pace.
One major surprise is the disappearance of the F-Type V6. From 2020, the Jag sports car will come with a choice of either two 5.0-litre supercharged V8 power levels (retaining the 567bhp at 6500rpm version, and a new unit with 444bhp at 6000rpm) or the continuing entry-level 2.0-litre turbocharged Ingenium four-cylinder engine producing 296bhp at 5500rpm.
In a reorganisation at the top of the F-Type’s three-tier range, the 567bhp performance versions of the coupé and convertible are available with only all-wheel drive and the plushest, sportiest R specification – which also gets a complete rethink of spring and damper settings. This flagship can cover 0-60mph in just 3.5sec and has a top speed of 186mph.
The 444bhp and 296bhp versions are available in either middle-level R-Dynamic trim or entry-level guise. The lower-powered V8 can turn a 4.4sec 0-60mph time and hit 177mph, while the 2.0-litre’s 0-60mph time is a respectable 5.4sec and its top speed is 155mph.
The 444bhp V8 buyer gets to choose between rear-wheel and four-wheel drive systems, while the 2.0-litre customer is offered rear drive only.
One major advantage of the smallest-engined model is its 120kg-lower kerb weight (it weighs 1520kg against 1640kg for the rear-drive V8), which lightens the nose and improves steering response. The heaviest F-Type is the full-house R convertible equipped with four-wheel drive, weighing 1760kg.

Refreshed Jaguar F-Type revealed ... and range for SA confirmed!
The facelifted Jaguar F-Type has been revealed, boasting fresh styling and more power for the V8-powered R-badged models.
Interestingly, it seems the range for South Africa will no longer include manual gearboxes, with all SA-spec variants set to adopt the eight-speed “Quickshift” automatic transmission as standard.
Set to launch locally at some point in 2020, the line-up for South Africa will include the 221 kW turbocharged 2,0-litre four-cylinder and the 280 kW supercharged 3,0-litre V6, both rear-driven and offered in “R-Dynamic” guise (in coupé and convertible form). The latter engine but with power sent to all four wheels will also be available in F-Type “First Edition” guise (again, in both coupé and convertible body styles).
The F-Type R, finally, will temporarily top the range – what with an inevitable SVR flagship on the horizon – offering 423 kW/700 N.m (up from 405 kW/680 N.m) to all four wheels via its supercharged 5,0-litre V8. That’s enough, says the automaker, for a sprint to 100 km/h in 3,7 seconds (down four-tenths) and an electronically limited top speed of 300 km/h.

Jaguar F-Type Gets Makeover
Jaguar’s F-Type sportscar has received a makeover and it looks better than ever!
It’s hard not to like the F-Type and we have a soft spot for its sporty looks, sonorous engine vocals and impressive performance abilities. Now, Jaguar has updated the F-Type with fresh styling and updated interior features while still offering a choice of powerful 4-, 6- and 8-cylinder engines to suit your performance needs.
All engines are mated with an 8-speed Quickshift automatic transmission and the F-Type range starts with the 4-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with 221 kW and 400 Nm of torque.
For more grunt, a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 with 283 kW and 459 Nm is also available.
A supercharged 5.0-litre V8 with 331 kW and 580 Nm is also on offer and results in a zero to 100 kph sprint time of 4.4 seconds and can run to 285 kph.
An uprated F-Type R tops the range and now boasts outputs of 423 kW and 700 Nm of torque (previously 405 kW/680Nm). Zero to 100 kph is blisteringly fast at 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 300 kph.
The F-Type R’s chassis had been updated and rides on 20-inch, 10-spoke wheels in gloss black with a diamond-turned finish and features new adaptive dampers, springs, anti-roll bars and stiffer knuckles and ball joints to deliver improved agility.
All F-Type derivatives feature active exhaust systems which can be fitted as standard or can be had as an option.
A specially-appointed F-Type First Edition will also be offered for a period of 1 year from its introduction.
The updated F-Type is expected to reach South Africa in 2020 and will be offered in Coupe and Convertible form. We will keep you updated as soon as local pricing details become available.

Jaguar's F-Type gets big makeover for 2020
Subtle. Evolutionary. Those are words that you’ll usually use to describe a car facelift, but that’s clearly not going to be the case with Jaguar’s new F-Type.
In fact, it looks so different upfront you could be mistaken for thinking it’s a completely new car, that is until you see the side and rear views, which have gone virtually unchanged. The new frontal design sees the previous vertically stacked headlights making way for slit-like horizontal units that give the sports car a more menacing appearance.
In some overseas markets where Jaguar is dropping the V6, there will be a more affordable SC V8 option, with 331kW and 580Nm on tap. However, instead of this, South Africans will be offered a carried over V6 turbo unit with 280kW and 460Nm, offered with either rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, while the 2-litre four-cylinder turbopetrol model, rated at 221kW and 400Nm, soldiers on at the bottom of the range with rear-wheel-drive only.
The new F-Type is set to go on sale in South Africa in 2020, and it will also be available in a First Edition trim grade, which will be offered for the first year only. It features a Dorchester Grey exterior design pack as well as Gloss Technical Grey 20-inch alloy wheels with a diamond-turned finish.

Jaguar Reveal Refreshed F-Type With Sleek New Face
The Jaguar F-Type is a cracking looking sports car and now the 2021 variants look even better thanks to a nip and tuck.
Cosmetic changes are very clear upfront with a design that has evolved with a focus on even greater purity and discipline to the perfectly-sculpted form. The designers sculpt a new, low-slung nose and reorient the headlights so that they now stretch horizontally across the front. The hood also has subtle styling changes to match the more curvaceous appearance from this refresh. The new front bumper and subtly enlarged grille deliver even more visual impact and presence.
The updates at the rear are far less noticeable with a minor taillight design change and a slightly lower bumper and diffuser.
Inside you will easily notice changes from the current F-Type most noticeably a digital instrument cluster to replace the traditional analogue gauges. The infotainment system gains standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the tech is now capable of over-the-air software updates.
The following variants of the refreshed F-Type range will be introduced to sub-Sahara Africa next year and will consist of:
- F-Type R-Dynamic Coupé and Convertible: 221kW 2.0-litre four-cylinder; Quickshift RWD OR 280kW 3.0-litre V6; Quickshift; RWD
- F-Type First Edition Coupé and Convertible: 280kW 3.0-litre V6; Quickshift; AWD
- F-Type R Coupé and Convertible: 423kW and 700 Nm 5.0-litre supercharged V8; Quickshift AWD

Jaguar F-Type: old face or new?
Jag updates pretty, two-seat coupe. But which one wears it best?
In the red corner, the original Jaguar F-Type; wide-eyed, a cat-like ‘fang’ bookending the front bumper, marginally feral appearance. Spot on.
And now, in the blue corner, the new Jaguar F-Type; lower, narrower lights and a lower, longer-reaching bonnet. Who wins?
While you deliberate, some finer details about that visual update. Jaguar tells us the LED headlights are now super-slim items that sit in the “liquid metal” surfacing of the new bonnet. Jaguar hasn’t explicitly ruled out whether this new F has been sent from the future to hunt down resistance leaders, so best not to dwell on that.
The grille? It’s fractionally bigger than before, while you’ll notice quite quickly the bumper looks different as well. Overall it’s supposed to be more “assertive”. Not so much “No no, after you” as “Ahem, outtamyway.

Jaguar design boss wants a second sportscar alongside the F-Type
The new head of design at Jaguar says he’d like to add a second sportscar – alongside the recently facelifted F-Type – to the British firm’s range.
Speaking to Auto Express, Julian Thomson, who recently moved into the role of director of design at Jaguar, suggested there was space for another model alongside the F-Type.

Should You Buy The Old F-Type SVR over a brand new 992 911? (review) - JayEmm on Cars
I've driven an F-Type before. I didn't really like it. But, I always hoped that with a V8 up front, some of the car's failings could be more excusable.
