Remember the stunning Jaguar C-X16 concept car that was showcased at the 2012 Auto Expo? That very gorgeous concept sports car is finally going to hit the production lines soon and Jaguar has named it the F-Type. 37 years back the Jaguar E-Type disappeared and now after a very long time its successor has arrived in the form of Jaguar F-type.Speaking at the New York auto show Adrian Hallmark , Global Brand Director , Jaguar Cars , said,
“We showed the C-X16 concept in September 2011 , and the reaction to it has been so positive that we’ve accelerated our development of an all-new Jaguar sports car.”

As of now the testing is going on and the car will not go on sale before 2013 mid. Jaguar has confirmed it will build the F-Type in Britain. The F-type will be a convertible two seater model and the manufacturer will use its all-aluminium construction expertise to keep the car light yet strong. Engines are unconfirmed and the only speculation as far is of an all new 3.0 litre supercharged that produces between 360-380 BHP of max power.

A couple of other engines are also under consideration and will be confirmed at a later point in time. As far as the transmission is concerned, it is pretty sure the engines will be mated to an 8 speed automatic transmission. From the price point of view it will be positioned between Porsche Boxster S and 911 Cabriolet which assures that it will be a value for money model. We are sure this car will be a hit as it not only features high-tech engineering at a good value but also reflects the Jaguar’s sports car heritage.
