0 JAGUAR F-TYPE

EXTERIOR STYLING

The purity and elegance of the design gives the F-TYPE a lasting beauty. The proportions and stance communicate muscularity and latent energy. Look closely, and you will see how established Jaguar design themes have been evolved– most notably the J-Blade headlights and the shape of the four-sided grille. However the grille on the F-TYPE is lower than that on the XF and XJ, elongated, and with a slight forward lean to give a sense of motion and power.

DISTINTINCTIVE F-TYPE DESIGN

Two bold strokes, called ‘heartlines’ define the signature look of the F-TYPE. The first heartline starts with the blade bisecting the shark gill grille openings of the bumper, runs through the headlights, and over the top of the front fenders before fading in the doors. The second heartline begins at rear edge of the door, rising to create the powerful haunch over the rear fenders, and then sweeps around to define the tail. These two lines were the first strokes penned by the designers to define the shape of the F-TYPE.

CONVERTIBLE TOP

The convertible top is light, fast and refined. Fully powered, it opens or closes in just 12 seconds and can be operated at speeds of up to 30mph. The 3-layer top features Thinsulate™ for thermal and acoustic insulation. In keeping with the Jaguar tradition of customization, the top is available in 4 colors: Black is standard, and Red, Gray or Beige are available as options.

SIGNATURE LIGHTING

LED lights provide accents front and rear. The front of the F-TYPE features xenon HID headlights and a variation on the J-Blade LED signature running lights that have become a Jaguar design cue. Both high and low beams are integrated into a single projector unit, enabling a compact light. The light housing itself is drawn vertically, giving a sense of motion. The rear features all-LED taillights in a design that echoes the legendary E-Type.

ACTIVE AERODYNAMICS

Hidden until required, the rear spoiler automatically rises at 60 mph3 to reduce lift by up to 260 lbs for improved high-speed stability. It can also be deployed at any time by the driver with the push of a button.

DEPLOYABLE DOOR HANDLES

The deployable door handles are fitted flush with the door for uninterrupted airflow along the car’s flanks. They extend to meet the driver’s hand when activated by using the key fob or by pressing a touch-sensitive part of the handle on cars fitted with keyless entry.

FRONT SPLITTER

The front splitter reduces lift for enhanced control at high speed and also directs air through the brakes for cooling. 

 
STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST

Striking dual center exit exhausts on the F-TYPE and F-TYPE S models pay tribute to the E-Type, and each exhaust tip is stamped from a single piece of stainless steel for an unbroken surface and a commanding presence. Quad outboard-mounted exhausts on the V8 S provide a clear signal to the performance potential of the 495 horsepower engine; separated by a more aggressive rear venturi, they are an unmistakable symbol of power.
