My favorite car is a
Jaguar F-type, and here are some short review with some pictures from it.
EnjoyIn both convertible or coupe style the high-performance Jaguar F-Type competes against smaller cars such as the BMW Z4, Mercedes-Benz SLK, and Porsche Boxster, as well as larger cars such as the Chevrolet Corvette, the new Mercedes-Benz AMG GT and the Porsche 911.
The F-Type is Exhibit No. 1 as evidence the British brand is back in the sports car business. Though Jaguar has produced a series of open-top two-seaters, they were really more grand tourers than sports cars.
The F-Type ushers in some new design themes for Jaguar. It sports a high front end--in part to handle European crash regulations--and LED front lighting, with some strong influences of Maseratis and Corvettes of the past. The taillamps are also LED units, and Jaguar says they're the thinnest shapes that could be manufactured. The cockpit has an asymmetric, driver-oriented theme, with the passenger fenced in by a large center-tunnel grab handle--a strong visual cue to the F-Type's dynamic intentions. There's a big LCD screen for infotainment and settings, while a set of rotary knobs controls some secondary functions. Not everything's been steered off into touchscreen interfaces, thankfully.
The two-seater received a sufficiently rapturous reception that the larger XK coupe and convertible went out of production soon after the F-Type was introduced. The F-Type essentially acts as that car's indirect replacement, sharing some of the XK's aluminum construction techniques as well.
