Now, I know it says Supercars in the media, but this car is worth a post.

Jaguar at the moment are making a new set of engines to take over from the old design, they have made a 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder that out performs the 10 year old 3.2L V8

There's a new 2.0-litre turbocharged four-pot petrol engine coming to the line-up too, offered in the XF and XJ, with 237bhp and 250 torques. At 138kgs, it's the lightest Jag engine in history, thanks to aluminium construction and compact dimensions.


Not only that the new F-type is going to feature the 3.0L :)

And if you'd care to look at the specs between this 3.0L Supercharged V6, it has the same performance as Jaguars current 5.0L V8.

But thats the engine story over, you want pictures :)

The only thing I'm not too kean on is the Red Interior and the 10 Spoked wheels, but overall, I think it's a looker 8-)

Cracking looking car, but not sure about the seats.

I think those seats look like they would be very comfortable and supportive.

Note how the actual lumbar support is set back with the bolster supports protruding, you'd be as snug as a bug in a rug!

Colour however... ??

I think they are all lacking on outright performance but then I guess this is not what the F type is about.

I sure hope they plan to replace those discs and calipers. They look like horrible stock x-type fitments..
