Jaguar F-Type News

The months of build-up for Jaguar’s new short film, Desire, is finally over, as the full clip was premiered today at a private screening at the Sundance London film and music festival taking place in the UK. In case your invite got lost in the mail, you can watch the film in its entirety...

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type's V-8 engine gets some special attention.

As we continue our ongoing month of coverage of Jaguar's return to the sports car world with the 2014 F-Type, we now take you into a more in-depth look at the car's mechanical and other aspects. Today, we begin with the V-6 engines in the base F-Type and F-Type S. Displacing 3.0 liters, the...

As we continue our ongoing 30 Days of the 2014 Jaguar F-Type coverage, it's time once again for a video break. This time, we bring you five new videos explaining the various components of the F-Type: powertrains and exhaust; chassis, suspension, and engineering; driver experience; differentials and...

After a day and a half in the cockpit of the 2014 Jaguar F-Type, we know at least one thing for certain: we want more. While we can't get more seat time (yet), we can get more detailed in our analysis of the car--and we have, at our sister site, The Car Connection. Check out the full review of the...

What defines a sports car? Is it an arbitrary set of numbers--weight limits, 0-60 mph times, lateral g forces? Or is it something more emotional, something that can't easily be quantified? I tend to think it's the latter, and the 2014 Jaguar F-Type presents a convincing case in support of that...

While we understand a carmaker offering a new product, especially one as anticipated as the F-Type, in their home market for a while before releasing it to the world, we wish that weren't the case with the F-Type. Americans won't get the new F-Type until next month, but lucky buyers in the U.K...

How is the 2014 Jaguar F-Type behind the wheel? We'd love to tell you--but we can't, just yet. We will soon. In the meantime, we can talk about the car's stats and how it stacks up--on paper--to its key rivals in the sports car world. What exactly does the F-Type compete with? Is it as fast as its...

Now that you’ve learned about the history of Jaguar’s new F-Type, seen what it’s comparable to and finally arrived at your ideal version, it’s now time to add some personal touches to really build that emotional bridge between you and the car. Fortunately for you, Jaguar has...

Day six of our 30 Days of the 2014 Jaguar F-Type brings us to what we are calling The Ultimate F-Type Build. We went to the online Jaguar F-Type configurator and built two different vehicles that we feel would be the pinnacles of the model line--depending on your goals, of course. The first F-Type...

Launched in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type became an icon almost instantly. It's been displayed in New York's Museum of Modern Art and was the third car to enter MoMA's permanent collection, after a 1948 Cisitalia 202 and a 1990 Ferrari F1 car. The E-Type sprang from a pair of concept cars in 1957 and...

Tying the present to the past is sometimes easy, sometimes not. With cars there's often a direct lineage to follow. In the case of the 2014 Jaguar F-Type, tracing its roots is a bit more indirect. Jaguar has been keen to play up the ties to the XK120 and its legendary offspring, the C-Type and...

Jaguar's sports car heritage is deep, but there have been intermissions. From the very founding of the company, sporty cars were a priority, despite the a desire by William Lyons to parley the brand's sporting success into a broader line of vehicles for greater market reach and profit. Along the...

Get ready for a month of in-depth, media-rich coverage of one of the hottest new sports cars to hit the streets this year: the 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Whether you're a fan of the stylish new high-performance roadster already or not, you probably will be by the end of the month. We'll bring you...

“His job was simple: deliver a car. But in the desert, nothing is simple.” And with those catchy phrases, Jaguar manages (quite nicely, we might add) to suck you into Desire, an upcoming short film by Ridley Scott Associates that makes us want the 2014 Jaguar F-Type more than we already...

Martin Brundle is perhaps best known for his two stints in Formula One (1984-89, 1992-96), but the British racing driver has also completed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans eight times, winning the event in 1990 with co-drivers Price Cobb and John Nielsen. Christian Danner has raced in IndyCar and CART...

Jaguar is jumping on the personalization bandwagon by announcing new styling packages for its as yet unreleased F-Type sports car. The styling packages fall under the new Design and Black packs being released for the F-Type, and feature custom appointments for both the car’s exterior and...

Automakers have gone a bit over-the-top in recent years, using stylistic videos to pitch their wares. While BMW’s The Driver series was a hit with fans and critics alike, Aston Martin’s promo for the Rapide, called True Power, was just plain bizarre and off the mark. To promote its new...

Despite not officially being on sale yet, the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has already racked up more than 2,000 sales, which is almost a third of the 6,000 to 7,000 examples Jaguar is hoping to sell in 2013. Most of those orders come from customers in Europe, where the F-Type made its official debut, but...

Can’t decide whether to opt for a V-6 engine in your new 2014 Jaguar F-Type, or go all the way and order a V-8? Jaguar is here to help, with the automaker’s latest video comparing the sound of a V-6 F-Type with that of a V-8 model. As we discovered at the car’s recent 2012 Paris...
