5th April, 2012
Jaguar has confirmed that it will bring an all-new two-seater sports car
to production next year; it will be known as the Jaguar F-TYPE.
Speaking at the New York Motor Show Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar Cars, confirmed: "We showed the
C-X16 concept in
September 2011, and the reaction to it has been so positive that we've accelerated our development of an all-new Jaguar
sports car."
"That car will be called the F-TYPE, and it will be unveiled in production form later this year. The core appeal of
Jaguar's cars is their sporting heart, and that heart will beat stronger than ever before in the F-TYPE. Its development
is a vivid representation of the confidence and ambition of the Jaguar brand, and the desire amongst our engineers and
design team to produce a world-leader in a market segment that we have been absent from for too long. But no longer - the
F-TYPE is coming."
Utilising Jaguar's industry-leading knowledge of all-aluminium construction, the F-TYPE will launch as a convertible,
and a strict two-seater with the focus uncompromisingly on delivering driver reward. A range of petrol engines will be
available - including a new powerplant family - and all will deliver stunning sports car performance.

Today also marks the point that the F-TYPE's rigorous development schedule moves to final on-road testing, with
engineering prototypes now leaving Jaguar's Castle Bromwich plant in England - the same plant at which the production
cars will be built.
Ian Hoban, Jaguar's Vehicle Line Director said: "The engineering development of the F-TYPE has focused on
delivering a heightened level of dynamic driving reward. We are excited about our progress to date and are looking
forward to soon being able to demonstrate what we have achieved."
Ian Callum, Director of Design, said: "A true sports car needs to be pure in both its purpose and its form; to have
the opportunity to produce such a car for Jaguar has been a privilege both for myself and for my team. The C-type, D-type
and E-type Jaguars were all sports cars that held true to this principle in their era, and the F-TYPE will hold true to
that same principle in its time, a time that is soon to arrive."
The Jaguar F-TYPE will join the brand's existing range of cars - the XF saloon and
Sportbrake, XJ
saloon and XK coupe/convertible. Full Jaguar F-TYPE technical and range details will be announced later in 2012. It will
go on sale in mid-2013.
