The F-TYPE Coupé builds on the design of the stunning 2011 C-X16 Concept Sports Coupé and the F-TYPE Convertible released in 2013. The lightweight all-aluminium F-Type Coupé, the most dynamically capable, performance-focused sports car that Jaguar has ever produced, is available in three versions: F-Type R, F-Type S and the F-Type.
The 550-hp 5.0-liter supercharged V8 found in the Jaguar XFR-S and XKR-S will be fitted to the top model, the F-Type R Coupé. 0-60 mph takes just four seconds. The base F-Type Coupé is powered by a 340-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6, and the F-Type S Coupé, which has the same engine tuned to 380 hp. The base and mid-level models can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.1 and 4.8 seconds, respectively. Every F-Type Coupé model utilises Jaguar's eight-speed close-ratio Quickshift transmission which is optimised for sporting performance.
The hidden rear spoiler automatically rises at 70mph and lowers when the speed drops below 50mph, reducing lift by up to 120kg. The full-LED tail lamps that wrap all the way around the wings feature hidden-until-lit technology. They appear solid until one of their functions is activated. The F-Type Coupé also features a 'ribbon of light' LED high-mounted stop light, which is hidden at the top of the tailgate.
The F-Type R Coupé's seats are finished in premium leather, with the 'R' logo embossed on the headrest and three options of contrast stitching - Ivory, Red or Firesand - on the instrument panels, door casings, grab-handle highlight and cubby box. (autoblog.com & ultimatecarpage.com)
