SUPERCHARGED ENGINES
Power is delivered from a range of three highly advanced engines: a 3.0L V6 with 340 HP, a 3.0L V6 with 380 HP and a 5.0L V8 with 495 HP. Each features a Roots-type twin vortex supercharger mounted in the 'V' of the engine to maintain the powerplants’ compact dimensions.
Jaguar is a leader in the field of Supercharged induction technology. The advantages of supercharging are clear and compelling: it provides a linear delivery of performance and instant access to high levels of torque at all engine speeds, minimizing the gap between the driver’s demand for power and the engine’s response.
The F-TYPE Sport Exhaust delivers a crisp note from start up with the promise of performance, building to a race-car inspired crescendo at high rpm and during overrun. An Active Sport Exhaust is standard on the F-TYPE S and F-TYPE V8 S and is also optional on the F-TYPE. The system features active bypass valves which open during performance driving to allow exhaust gases to exit more directly for a deep, dramatic sound. An optional Switchable Active Exhaust allows manual control of the system
for even greater driver involvement.

QUICKSHIFT TRANSMISSION
8-SPEED ADAPTIVE INSTANTANEOUS
RATIOS SOFTWARE RESPONSE
The F-TYPE QuickShift transmission is both exceptionally fast and superbly refined, offering the benefits of both a double clutch transmission and a conventional automatic without the limitations of either. Eight closely-spaced
ratios keep the engine within its most effective rev range for longer, providing instantaneous response and outstanding driver feedback, while also optimizing the engine for both economy and outright performance.
The transmission control system is intelligent and adaptive. It monitors the driving situation together with the demands the driver is making on the car, and responds to provide a truly dynamic experience. Adaptive software automatically modifies the gear shift strategy, ensuring the right gear is selected for every situation. Fast Throttle-Off recognizes when the driver is making rapid throttle adjustments, for example during multiple maneuvers, and automatically holds the gear ratio in anticipation of the next move. Corner Recognition senses when the car is in a corner and holds the ratio ensuring the car is in the correct gear when exiting a bend. When decelerating and changing down, the Speed Matching Management System matches the engine speed to the gearbox speed, and automatically ‘blips’ the throttle during downshifts when in Sport mode, while Spontaneous Vehicle Deceleration enables the F-TYPE to rapidly downshift under very hard braking conditions.
Dynamic Launch Mode, standard on the F-TYPE S, applies maximum torque through the first two gear changes delivering optimum acceleration from rest to 60 mph.1
The driver can, of course, take full manual control of the transmission using either gear shift paddles mounted behind the steering wheel, or the joystick-style SportShift gear selector. Once in manual mode, the Quickshift system delivers rapid and precisely timed engine torque interventions, creating shorter and crisper gear shifts.

LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION
STRONG AND RIGID HIGH POWER-TO-WEIGHT AND TORQUE-TO-WEIGHT RATIOS
Jaguar has been at the forefront of aluminum car construction for more than a decade and continues to push the boundaries of the technology. The F-TYPE builds on this expertise and uses advanced techniques derived from the aerospace industry, such as epoxy bonding and riveting, to contribute towards the car’s light, strong and rigid body structure.
A lightweight aluminum body structure with high torsional rigidity is the ideal platform for a convertible sports car, and is fundamental to the way the F-TYPE performs, handles and feels. A strong, stiff structure provides an inherently stable platform for precise, agile handling
and allows the finely tuned suspension system to deliver connectivity and driver feedback. The body of the F-TYPE is the perfect complement to its high-performance engine range. Together they produce the exceptional power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios that deliver the real world measures of performance in a sports car.
All exterior panels are aluminum alloy with the exception of the trunk lid, which is made from composite materials, allowing hidden antenas to receive GPS and radio signals. The exterior panels are constructed from a new AC600 alloy that combines robustness and quality of finish with much greater formability for greater clarity and tightness of radiuses and feature lines. Jaguar has also developed a new ‘warm forming’ technique for the inner door pressings which works like vacuum forming, using sheet metal rather than plastic. The use of advanced materials and innovative techniques allowed Jaguar’s engineers to reproduce the beautifully crisp, crafted lines of the F-TYPE exactly as the designers had intended, as well as delivering a vehicle with extraordinary structural integrity.

It is essential in the design of a great sports car that weight is kept to a minimum, is evenly distributed front to rear and that the center
of gravity is kept as low as possible. This configuration in the F-TYPE means that the car has natural balance and is the result of meticulous attention to detail during the design and construction of the body structure. An uncompromising focus on weight distribution achieves the optimum balance between front and rear wheels, with items such as the battery, electronic systems and even the windshield washer fluid reservoir located at the rear of the car.
A shorter car is more agile; a wider car is more stable. The relationship between the length of 176 inches and width of 75.7 inches was precisely engineered to deliver inherent agility and means that the F-TYPE has outstanding driving dynamics. Its low center of gravity reduces body roll in corners, while short front and rear overhangs mean that the mass is concentrated within the wheelbase. These essential factors combine to ensure that the F-TYPE is naturally agile.

The closer the weight is to the center of the car, the easier it is to turn the car.

PUT TO THE TEST
The F-TYPE first took to the road in the virtual world of Jaguar’s Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) systems ensuring that all components underwent extensive development and testing before being committed to the physical testing process. Engineers produced a series of virtual prototypes to realistically simulate the behavior of complex mechanical systems allowing them to analyze multiple variations until the optimal design was achieved. For example, using a technique first used in the aerospace industry, aerodynamic testing took place in a virtual wind tunnel with Computational Fluid Dynamics running on high speed supercomputers. During its virtual life, the F-TYPE completed half a million tests, requiring 10 million computer processor hours and creating 300TB one of the key contributing factors in delivering the exhilarating performance and responsiveness
