Jaguar confirm F-type model which takes inspiration from iconic E-type Jag

Luxury car maker Jaguar have confirmed plans to create a new sporty model the F-type, which will take its inspiration from one of the British brand’s most iconic and successful motor cars, the E-Type Jag.

The E-Type Jaguar has topped numerous polls having been voted the Greatest Ever British Sports Car and Greatest Car Ever amongst other accolades. Jaguar is planning to build on the E-type’s popularity by creating a new model which takes its inspiration from the classic sports model.

Jaguar unveiled their plans for the new F-Type model at the New York Motor Show this week, revealing an exclusive snap of the prototype model as part of the grand unveiling. The car is expected to go into production at the end of the year, with engineers at the Jaguar plant in Birmingham expected to start work on the new F-type Jaguar.

The new Jaguar F-Type is expected to rival the likes of the Mercedes Benz SL and the Porsche 911. The new sporty Jaguar will have a starting price of £50,000 and will boast a top speed of 180mph and a 0-62mph acceleration of less than 5 seconds. The F-Type convertible with fabric topped roof will be arriving in showrooms in the UK by June 2013, while a coupe version is expected by 2014.
