The NFL's Super Bowl is the time for automakers to shell out more money than normal. Why? It's time for many millions of folks to turn their attention away from the football game and place their eyeballs on the commercials. Nearly all automakers do this, and some commercials are better than others. Volkswagen has, in recent memory, produced some stellar spots. Now though, it looks like Jaguar is ready to grab your attention in a new ad for the 2015 F-Type Coupe. It's called the British Villain Rendezvous, and it plays on the film and television stereotype that portrays many a villain as a...

Being Jay Leno has its perks. First, you get to dress head to toe in denim and nobody judges you for it. Second, companies like Jaguar occasionally say things like, "hey, wanna have a go in our one-of-a-kind Project 7 sports car?" Jay does just that in his latest video, trying out the D-Type influenced, F-Type based concept car at Pebble Beach. Under the skin is a Jaguar F-Type V8 S--which he also drives in the video--but several bespoke parts give it the look, feel and sound of a 1950s Le Mans racer. Resplendent in a coat of Ecurie Ecosse blue--mimicking one of history's more successful...

The coupe version of the stunning new Jaguar F-Type convertible sports car is seen here testing at the Nürburgring and on some of the German race track’s surrounding roads. The car is expected to debut next summer, most likely as a 2015 model.

Output for this range-topping model will lie at 495 horsepower. Other engine variants for the F-Type coupe will mirror those found in its convertible sibling. This means a 340-horsepower supercharged...

We're still eager to do a seat-to-seat, back-to-back comparison between the standard-bearing Porsche Boxster and the all-new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. While there's really no substitute for that time behind the wheel—especially when we're talking about sports cars—in the meantime we're taking a look at how these two cars fared when you factor in all the practical aspects considered by our companion site, The Car Connection.
