F-TYPE Convertible At-A-Glance

◾Front-engine, lightweight aluminum architecture and rear-wheel drive, the F-TYPE is engineered to be a true high-performance sports car

◾Three models will be available - F-TYPE, F-TYPE S and the F-TYPE V8 S, powered respectively by the new Jaguar supercharged 3-litre V6 engine in 340hp and 380hp outputs and a 495hp 5-litre supercharged V8

The new 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 F-TYPE is a continuation of a sporting bloodline that stretches back more than 75 years and encompasses some of the most beautiful, thrilling and desirable sports cars ever built. Joining the XK convertible and coupe models, the new F-TYPE provides Jaguar with a broader line of sports and GT models.

A true two-seat sports car, the all-new Jaguar F-TYPE Convertible is equipped with a modern, lightweight soft top that, when lowered, serves as its own tonneau cover. This not only provides a weight savings, but also improves packaging and contributes to the car's low center of gravity for greater agility. The top can be fully raised or lowered in just 12 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h. Its multi-layer construction includes a Thinsulate® lining for optimal thermal and sound-insulating properties.

The F-TYPE Coupe embodies the uncompromised design vision of the stunning Jaguar C-X16 concept sports coupe that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, its dramatic cabin-rearward stance being defined by three heartlines. The first two heartlines - shared with F-TYPE Convertible - form the muscular front and rear wings, the third heartline being the sweeping Coupe roof profile which provides an unbroken silhouette while emphasizing the visual drama of the tapered cabin sitting between powerful rear haunches.

Visual appeal is fundamental to Jaguar and the F-TYPE Coupe builds on the design of the stunning C-X16 concept sports Coupe and the F-TYPE Convertible which won the 2013 World Car Design of the Year award.

The expertise at Jaguar in aluminum vehicle architecture has been essential in enabling both the uncompromised design aesthetic, while delivering the fundamental dynamic attributes - essential to any sports car - of low mass and an extremely rigid body.

A fundamental requirement for excellent dynamic attributes, delivering that rigidity figure required some innovative engineering solutions in order to maximize strength without impacting on the design vision.

Melding classic Jaguar design with lightweight yet highly rigid aluminum construction and near-bespoke finishes and luxury, the 2014 XK models exemplify the Jaguar tradition of offering outstanding performance, agility and value in the premium luxury category. Powerful acceleration and agility come together with sumptuous luxury and comfort in coupe and convertible models, with top-of range versions offering supercar performance.

Jaguar continues to offer special and exclusive XK models. The 550hp XKR-S continues in limited numbers for 2014, each one custom built to order. New for 2014 is the XKR-S GT Coupe. The addition of extensive aerodynamic enhancements, suspension modifications, and carbon ceramic brakes endow the XKR-S GT with blistering track-ready performance. A limited production run will include just 30 cars for North America - 25 for the United States and five for Canada. All XKR-S models have an electronically limited top track speed of 300 km/h1.

The XK models are based on a lightweight body shell architecture constructed from a combination of pressed, cast and extruded aluminum alloy components. These are riveted and bonded together using aerospace industry techniques adapted for automotive use by Jaguar, and the materials and processes produce a light body shell with very high structural integrity. The structure's strength, rigidity and lightness provide the foundation for both the XK models' exciting performance and its occupant safety systems. The low vehicle weight is one reason the 2014 XK Coupe attains a fuel economy rating of 13.2/8.4 l/100 km in city/highway driving.

The XK, like all Jaguar models, offers a wide selection of exterior and interior finishes, and the Special Order colour and trim combinations do not carry an extra charge. A Jaguar Designer's Choice guide features recommended combinations. The vibrant Racing paints and special colour Convertible tops remain available at extra charge.
