When last we left the Jaguar F-Type, it was hustling substantial ass somewhere on some choice, shall-remain-unnamed mountain roads of north Georgia. Locked in close competition for our hearts and minds with the Porsche Cayman S, Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG, and Chevy Corvette Stingray, the F-Type was a finalist for our annual Best Car To Buy honors. Heavily in its corner: The Jaguar emitted noises like nothing we've heard this side of an AMG V-8 or an Aston V-12, and its sinewy stance drew more gapes per linear mile than any of the other entrants. In the end, though, it finished behind the CLA45...

Jaguar’s all-new F-Type Coupe is almost ready for its market launch, and given its combination of performance, stunning looks and luxury, we bet that it will be one of the hottest sellers this summer. Like its convertible alternative, the F-Type Coupe gets its power from a pair of supercharged V-6 engines and a supercharged V-8, but it gets a little extra spring in its step with the V-8. The car starts at a very reasonable $65,000, with that level of pricing getting you a base F-Type powered by a 340-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V-6. But as British journo Chris Harris points out in...
