Jaguar F-Type
The two-seat, rear-wheel-drive sports convertible was unveiled at the
Paris auto show in 2012 and went on sale in the U.S. earlier this summer.
Jaguar says the F Type has the company's most advanced use of lightweight
aluminum to date, giving it a stiffer and more dynamic ride. There are three
engine choices: Jaguar's new 3.0-liter V6 with either 340 horsepower or 380
horsepower outputs, or a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 495 horsepower. The
latter can go from zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 186
mph. All are mated to an eight-speed transmission. On the inside, Jaguar has
modified its touch-screen controls and now has physical dials for heating
and ventilation. On the outside, there's a big grille and vertical
headlights that follow the sleek lines of the car. To help the flow, the door
handles remain flush with the car until they're unlocked, and a hidden rear
spoiler rises at 60 mph and lowers again when the speed drops below 40 mph.
The
F Type starts at $69,000 excluding shipping.
