Jaguar firts launchs 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE at 2012 Paris Auto Show. The new Jaguar F-TYPE comes with convertible verison and will be available in three models – the F-TYPE Base, F-TYPE S and the F-TYPE V8 S.
For the exterior, All three use a fourth-gen aluminum chassis, are front-engined, and rear-wheel drive. The car's styling shows its E-Type heritage clearly, but with a modern touch: Bi-xenon headlights get integrated LED daytime running lights, along with full LED lighting at the rear. The F-TYPE S and F-TYPE V8 S versions get an “active exhaust system” which opens special valves over 3,000rpm to increase the aural cacophony.
Door handles operated by the key fob remain flush until activated, allowing for the highest level of aerodynamic efficiency along the side of the car. The convertible top opens and closes in 12 seconds, and can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph, a fine defense against sudden bursts of rain.
The interior features many sporty appointments such as grab handles in the center console, and supportive seats covered in rich leather. Other features include: a heated steering wheel, active center air vents, configurable ambient lighting and a TFT info screen mounted between the appropriately analog speedometer and tachometer. And there are three audio systems are offered, two using Meridian technology with either 380W spread across 10 speakers or 770W across 12 speakers.
The 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE has three available engines: The entry-level F-TYPE uses Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine, good for 340 horsepower , 0-60mph in 5.1s, and a top speed of 161mph. In the middle comes the F-TYPE S, with the same engine tuned for 380 horsepower and a climb in top speed to 171mph, it will run 0-60mph in 4.8s. The top-spec model is the F-TYPE V8S, with Jaguar’s 5.0-litre, 495 horsepower supercharged petrol engine. No matter which you choose, you'll get the same, silky-smooth 8-speed transmission.
