Powerful, agile and distinctive, F-TYPE is a true Jaguar
sports car, engineered for high performance and instantaneously responsive
handling - the latest in a distinguished bloodline. Supercharged engines,
lightweight aluminium body construction and advanced driving technologies
deliver an experience that is intuitive, instinctive and alive.
F-TYPE’s beating heart is supercharged. Power is delivered
from a range of three highly advanced engines – 3.0 V6 340PS, 3.0 V6 380PS and
5.0 V8 495PS. Each features a Roots-type twin vortex supercharger mounted on
the ‘V’ of the engine to maintain its compact dimensions. Jaguar is a leader in
Supercharged induction technology – it provides a linear delivery of
performance and high levels of torque at all engine speeds, minimising the gap
between the driver’s demand for power and the engine’s response.
F-TYPE roars right from its heart. Its Sports Exhaust growls
powerfully from start up building to a race-car inspired crescendo. An Active
Sports Exhaust - standard on F-TYPE S and optional on F-TYPE - uses active
bypass valves to allow exhaust gases to exit more directly for a deep, dramatic
sound. A Switchable Active Exhaust, allowing manual control of the system, is
available on every model.
F-TYPE’s Quickshift transmission is both lightning-fast and
superbly refined. Using eight closely-spaced gears, the engine is kept in its
most effective rev range to deliver optimum power and torque at all speeds. The
selectable Dynamic Mode adds adrenaline to your drive by altering the throttle
response and gearshift programmes to further emphasize the car’s sporting
character.
F-TYPE’s lightweight aluminium body structure with high
torsional rigidity is the ideal platform for a convertible sports car, and is
fundamental to the way it performs, handles and feels. This strong, stiff
structure provides an inherently stable platform for precise, agile handling
and is the perfect complement to the high-performance engine range. Together
they produce exceptional power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios - the real
world measures of sports car performance.
Balanced and capable, F-TYPE’s exceptional handling starts
with its physics. Its centre of gravity is as low as possible. Its even weight
distribution has been meticulously engineered, right down to the locating of
the battery and washer bottle at the rear. Length defines a car’s agility, its
width affects stability.
F-TYPE’s 4,470mm by 1,923mm dimensions have been precisely engineered to
optimise its outstanding driving dynamics.
At one with the car, the wheel and the road - you and F-TYPE
connect from the moment the start button is pressed and the engine roars into
life. The driver-focused interior combines intuitive technologies and
functional ergonomics with a unique sporting style.
