Jaguar F-Type (2014)


CAR GARAGE | Jaguar F-Type (2014) | The F-Type will be built at Jaguar's Castle Bromwich factory near Coventry. Full technical details will be later this year Revealed. British car magazine Auto Express has released two renderings and a lot more information regarding the upcoming Jaguar F-Type. While the official details only confirm That will be a roadster version Offered, in an interview with Auto Express, Design Director, Ian Callum, Revealed That a coupe version will also be Offered in the next 12 to 18 months.


A coupe version will Appear. That We'll leverage by offering a coupe. That Callum also confirmed the production version of F-Type version would take 95% of its design elements from the C-X16 concept: "Sometimes a production car can be a big disappointment after you've seen the concept, but the F-Type will include 95 per cent of the C-X16. The new Jaguar F-Type Roadster will be powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine delivers a total of That 250 HP normally aspirated version in the HP and 375 in the supercharged R version.


That Jaguar has also confirmed the future F-Type two-seater convertible will be priced under the current XK, or at about $ 85,000.  The rear-wheel-drive F-Type will be all-aluminum, using a smaller version of the XK's chassis. According to Adrian Hallmark, global brand director for Jaguar, the reaction to the C-X16 "has been so positive That we've accelerated our development of an all-new Jaguar sports car." That Hallmark promised the car will be available with a wide range of engine options Including one new powertrain, but Declined to go into technical details on the car, the which will be built at the company's Castle Bromwich assembly plant in England.


The look of the 2014 Jaguar F-type follows closely on the concept. There is a family resemblance to the XK with its single large grille opening lines and sleek fastback. The unusual side-opening rear hatch of the concept, the which paid homage to the original E-Type, has been scrapped in favor of a conventional hatch.

Jaguar XK200 (2014)


CAR GARAGE | Jaguar XK200 (2014) | That car reports engineers expect a road-ready weight of around 3.200 pounds, about 200 pounds more than the concept. The 2014 Jaguar XK200 should retain the concept's driver-selectable three-mode-power-source deployment system. In connection with that, Edmund's Inside Line reports That Jaguar plans a "track only" model - about 50 of the planned run - for "committed customers, together with a range of owner events and experiences." Structural makeup is the other key difference Between C-X75 and the 2014 Jaguar XK200. Where the concept employs a bonded-and-riveted aluminum skeleton like Jaguar's XJ premium-large sedan, the production car will rely on a central "tub" made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) to be designed and supplied by Williams.


As design chief Ian Callum company boasted in a press release, "We were always determined That the Jaguar C-X75 would be as striking on the road as it was in concept form." Callum says the design was partly inspired by the 1966 XJ13 prototype LeMans racing car, "arguably the most beautiful Jaguar ever made . e believe is a worthy homage to 75 years of iconic Jaguar design." Compared with Jaguar's XK Series premium sporty / performance 4-seaters, the 2-passenger XK200 should be an inch trimmer in wheelbase, nearly 6 inches shorter overall, a massive 5 inches Wider, and some 4.5 inches lower.


Interior design is less at this point Certain, but we suspect the 2014 Jaguar XK200 may be more like the C-X75 than is usually the case when concepts Become Reality.  Now, as promised, a few words on 2014 Jaguar XK200 performance. The latter Jaguar history and explain how We came up with the XK200 moniker. Moreover, Jaguar says its new super car will Produce "incredibly low emissions, with a target of less than 99 g / km CO2 ..." If the engineers meet that, the XK200 would be as green as a current Toyota Prius.  That aim is a major reason behind the 2014 Jaguar XK200. Jaguar sees it as a test-bed for the power-train and structural Innovations Mentioned above. Moreover, the new flagship sports car is Meant to symbolize JLR's technical and commercial Resurgence since 2008, when India's Tata Motors bought the concern from Ford Motor Company.


As Mentioned, we somehow suspect the 2014 Jaguar XK200 interior will be quite close to the futuristic design concept - a big departure from this brand's traditional "English drawing room" ambiance - if only to help buyers feel they're getting something extra- Their special for-buck million outlay. Jaguar has adopted a "virtual" gauges and controls via a TFT (thin-film-transistor) displays for its latest premium-large XJ sedans. Steve Cropley of Autocar magazine's Britain, one of Several Journalists granted brief drives in the concept, design chief Callum notes That encouraged suppliers to "get crazy" with interior features.


The 2014 Jaguar XK200 should inherit these traits as well, plus a seating position "exactly Between the front and rear wheel pairs," which should the make for a stable, "centered" feel in fast cornering. Speaking of which, the 2014 Jaguar XK200 Certainly will retain the concept's Various "active aerodynamics" That not only promotes features high-speed stability but trim fuel-wasting drag water. The concept sports a large, low-set of racing-style diffuser water Beneath the tail-lamps, and this, too, should carry over, though probably without the big, square "jet exhaust" ports required by the show car's micro-turbine engines. By the way, Jaguar says it is not finished with a micro-turbine engines.
