British luxury and sports carmaker Jaguar has recently announced the F-Type will be officially revealed at the 2012 Paris Motor Show on September 27.
Equipped with Stop/Start technology as standard, the sports car will initially be launched as a convertible model in Paris and eventually offered in both coupe and convertible forms. It will be available with a choice of three engines: a 340 hp 3.0-liter V6, a 380 hp 3.0-liter V6 and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 with 500 hp. The power is transmitted to the rear or four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, allowing the two seater to accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds and hit a top speed of 180 mph.
"The unveiling of the F-TYPE in Paris will be a truly significant day in Jaguar’s history as it will mark the company’s return to the sports car market, a market it originally helped to create. As its sporting forebears did in their era, the F-TYPE will break new ground by delivering stunning sports car performance while vividly demonstrating Jaguar’s cutting-edge engineering technologies and world-class design excellence. The next step in Jaguar’s sporting bloodline is about to become reality." said Global Brand Director, Adrian Hallmark.
