Jaguar F-TYPE makes public debut

The F-Type convertible will be available with supercharged V6 and V8 engines

Jaguar’s highly anticipated F-TYPE sports car has made its public debut at Goodwood’s Festival of Speed.

Jaguar’s Head of Vehicle Integrity, Mike Cross was behind the wheel as the all-aluminium two-seater took on the challenging hill.

Mr Cross said: ‘The F-TYPE will deliver a driver-focused sports car experience, and camouflaged prototypes like this one are currently being tested all over the world.

‘The development programme is right on schedule, and coming here today to showcase just a little of the dynamic precision, noise, speed and excitement that the production F-TYPE will exhibit is very satisfying.’

Spectators were treated to Jaguar’s historic sporting bloodline as well as its future one as the F-TYPE blasted up the hill after the C-type, D-type and E-type models.

Mr Cross said that the reaction from the crowd was ‘fantastic’.

Jaguar’s Global Brand Director, Adrian Hallmark added: ‘The F-TYPE will be a true sports car, so to be able to give the fans here at Goodwood a first-hand flavour of the sight and sound of Jaguar’s exciting future is a great privilege’.

The Jaguar F-TYPE will initially be available in convertible form in both supercharged V6 and V8 engines. The full range will be announced later this year.
