AUTO MODIFIED 2011

 

The F-Type has three engine options, a 3-liter supercharged V6 in 340hp and 380hp states of tune and the 5-liter supercharged V8 in the Jaguar F-Type V8 S with 495hp and 460 ft-lbs of torque. All are equipped with the new Intelligent Stop/Start system. The 340hp V6 model can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds . The 380hp S model lowers that to 4.9 seconds, and the V8 S will do that in 4.2 seconds. Electronically limited top speeds are 260 km/h, 275 km/h and 300 km/h, respectively, for the V6, V6 S and V8 S models. The new F-Type is all aluminum construction, including all-aluminum double wishbone front and rear suspensions, which helps endow the F-Type with an ideal balance. The new structural alloys used in the F-Type construction results in high rigidity. The new Jag also has an eight-speed 'Quickshift' automatic transmission.  Ahead of its official debut at the Paris Motor Show, images of the sexy, sleek new 2013 Jaguar F-Type have spilled onto the Web. The new Boxster-fighter looks very similar to the C-X16 Concept that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, and boasts the same curves you’d expect to see in a Jag. It’s expected that the F-Type will be offered with multiple engine options, including a V6 and a V8. The production-ready model will feature a center-mounted exhaust and a more conventional quadruple-outlet configuration, depending on the powerplant. Inside, the new F-Type will use a conventional gearshift lever with the automatic transmission rather than the round dial selector used on all other current Jaguar models. The F-Type’s unveiling is just around the corner. In the meantime, enjoy the images below as well as videos of the camouflaged version hitting the track.
