Jaguar has revealed the new F-Type which now gains
more technology, new variants and slight design tweaks. You would expect the
British brand not to mess too much with the successful shape of the F-Type and you
would be right; the new model only gets modestly changed model-specific bumpers
which aim to freshen up its presence and new full LED headlights.
The cabin on the other hand received more new stuff,
with the highlight being the adoption of the company’s latest Touch Pro
infotainment system as standard, featuring a high-resolution display, faster
responses, real-time traffic info and more.
Jaguar has also included the new ReRun app with the
car, which was co-developed with GoPro and combines the video from an action
camera of the brand with key performance data real-time, including speed,
throttle position, gear selection, braking force and g force. The cabin is also
hosting a pair of new, lightweight slimline seats, new chrome and aluminum
trims and revised interior color schemes, including a Sierra Tan leather
option.
To mark the launch of the updated F-Type, Jaguar
will also offer a new 400 Sport edition which will be available for one model
year only. This new addition is powered by a 394 hp version of the
supercharged 3.0-litre V6 and comes with an upgraded chassis setup which
includes the Super Performance brakes, Configurable Dynamics system and a set
of dark satin grey 20-inch alloy wheels.
Another new addition to the range is the R-Dynamic
version, which is available with both the 335 hp and 375 hp version of the
supercharged V6. Jaguar also took the opportunity and added a suite of
driver-assist systems, including a semi-automated park-assist function.
The rest of the range remains as is, meaning all V6
models can be had with either rear-drive or all-wheel drive, with manual models
offered only in conjunction with the rear-drive option. V8-equipped versions
are only all-wheel drive now, with the top of the range remaining the 567 hp SVR model.
