The new 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE represents a return to the company's heart: a two-seat, convertible sports car focused on performance, agility and driver involvement.
The 2014 F-TYPE is a true two-seat sports car, equipped with a modern, lightweight soft top that, when lowered, serves as its own tonneau cover. The top can be fully raised or lowered in just 12 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph. Its multi-layer construction includes a Thinsulate lining for optimal thermal and sound-insulating properties.
Jaguar cars have always defined sinuous, muscular elegance, and the F-TYPE continues -- and advances -- this tradition with new, assertive design language. Two "heartlines" define, in just two bold strokes, both the profile and top-down view of the F-TYPE.
The main "heartline" theme begins in the blade dissecting the shark-like gills on either side of the grille. This first heartline runs up and forms the sharp top crease of the fender line, which provides sight lines that aid the driver in cornering maneuvers.
The second "heartline" swells out to form the muscular rear haunch before sweeping dramatically around the rear of the car. The clean, sleek lines of the tail are made possible in part by the inclusion of an active rear spoiler that deploys at speed to reduce aerodynamic lift.
The F-TYPE showcases the new supercharged Jaguar engines, a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in 340-hp and 380-hp variants and the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the F-TYPE V8 S with 495-hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. All are equipped with the new Intelligent Stop/Start system to enhance fuel economy under certain driving conditions.
