EXTERIOR DETAIL

POWERFUL FORM

Rising vertically from the front spoiler and running up through elongated headlamps, the beautifully ﬂowing body line of the F-TYPE begins to take shape. The line arcs over the front wheel, descending elegantly as it runs across the door, before culminating in a pronounced muscular rear haunch. The F-TYPE leaves you under no illusion that this is a high performance sports car – the latest in a distinguished bloodline.

It is, in part, sculpted by the wind itself, formed by the Jaguar state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics design methods. A front splitter beneath the grille and rear venturi manage airﬂow along the underside, while a deployable rear spoiler automatically rises at higher speeds to increase downforce and reduce drag. Even the door handles retract when not required, their ﬂush design creating an uninterrupted air ﬂow along the F-TYPE ﬂanks.

ENGINES

SUPERCHARGED ENGINES RESPONSIVE POWER

The beating of the F-TYPE heart is supercharged – delivering high levels of torque at all engine speeds, so there’s

no delay between the driver’s demand for power and the engine’s response. When cruising the engine thrums subtly, hinting at the latent potential of the F-TYPE. Tap the accelerator and the engine growls with the promise of more power.

As the revs rise the Sports Exhaust builds to a race-car inspired crescendo.

The Sports Exhaust is standard on the F-TYPE and the F-TYPE Premium with automatic transmissions. Active bypass valves allow exhaust gases to exit more directly, delivering a deeper, more dramatic sound. F-TYPE and F-TYPE Premium derivatives

with manual transmissions, as well as the F-TYPE S, F-TYPE R and F-TYPE SVR have the Switchable Active Exhaust ﬁtted as

standard, allowing manual control of the system, for even greater driver involvement. The Switchable Active Exhaust on

the SVR is made from Titanium and Inconel®, resulting in a 35.2 lbs weight saving and a supercar soundtrack.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

There's nothing more thrilling than changing gear manually in a sports car. Our lightweight six-speed manual gearbox provides that thrill. Designed for the high-revving V6 with rear-wheel drive (RWD) conﬁguration, it's the perfect choice for sports car purists. The precision-engineered short-throw gear lever delivers snappy changes. The close ratio, six-speed manual gearbox enables the driver to keep the engine within its optimum rev range for longer. The pedals are perfectly placed for heel-and-toe changes, deﬁning the deﬁnitive Jaguar sports car experience. Manual transmission is available on F-TYPE, F-TYPE Premium and F-TYPE S models.

ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS

DEPLOYABLE REAR SPOILER LOW DRAG AND HIGH STABILITY

Aerodynamic performance is at the heart of the design. It is seamlessly integrated into the body for low levels of lift and excellent stability at high speed. Even the door handles retract to create an uninterrupted airﬂow along its ﬂanks. The deployable rear spoiler rises at higher speeds to reduce lift by up to 264 lbs. A front splitter beneath the grille manages airﬂow along the vehicle's underside, with the sharply deﬁned tail helping to separate air cleanly at lower speeds. The result is improved handling and stability.

PERFORMANCE

LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM ARCHITECTURE

STRONG AND RIGID HIGH POWER-TO-WEIGHT AND TORQUE-TO-WEIGHT RATIOS

A lightweight aluminum body with a strong, sti structure is the perfect platform for a sports car. Jaguar pioneered this technology over a decade ago and continue to push the boundaries today. It informs every aspect of how the F-TYPE performs, handles and feels. A strong, sti structure provides an inherently stable platform for precise, agile handling and allows the ﬁnely-tuned suspension system to deliver connectivity and driver feedback. Lightweight aluminum panels are bonded together with a super-strong adhesive, then punched with zinc-coated, boron steel rivets that compress the adhesive to form an airtight bond for phenomenal strength and rigidity. The F-TYPE body 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.

The exterior panels are made from specially developed alloys. They combine robustness with greater formability, which gives clarity and tightness to curves and feature lines. On Coupe models, the side pressing is one of the most technically advanced in the automotive industry. It allows for cleaner lines with an extraordinarily beautiful, uninterrupted sweep from the front pillar to the trailing edge. This combination of advanced materials and innovative techniques has two advantages. It allows us to reproduce the crisp, crafted lines of the F-TYPE, exactly as the designers intended. And it delivers a vehicle with extraordinary structural integrity.

PERFORMANCE

ALUMINUM SUSPENSION KNUCKLES

Designed to optimize stiness and strength, the lightweight aluminum front and rear suspension knuckles help improve the agility and responsiveness of the F-TYPE.

CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION

COMFORT AND CONTROL

The aluminum body creates an immensely stable platform from which the forged aluminum double wishbone suspension can control the car. With the damping set-up optimized for the best partnership between dynamics and reﬁnement, it gives the perfect combination of control, agility and feedback.

Standard on the F-TYPE S, F-TYPE S AWD, F-TYPE R and F-TYPE SVR, Adaptive Damping assesses body motion and pitch rates 100 times per second, and adjusts the settings for each damper accordingly. The system enhances control, handling and agility. It also rapidly detects and reacts to critical driving conditions and driver demands. This is achieved with a series of sensors that are placed around the car to monitor the body's vertical movement, pitch and roll rates. The steering wheel position is measured 500 times a second enabling the system to predict the car's movements. The stiness of each individual damper is then adjusted to help maintain body control, stability and agility.
