F-Type Jaguar prototype makes public debut at Goodwood

A development prototype example of Jaguar's new sports car, the F-Type, is set to make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Utilising Jaguar's industry-leading knowledge of all-aluminium construction, the F-Type will launch as a two-seater convertible with the
focus uncompromisingly on delivering driver reward.

The F-Type will be driven up the famous Goodwood Hill by Jaguar's Head of Vehicle Integrity, Mike Cross.

Powered by a supercharged V6 or V8 engine, the F-Type is currently undergoing development prior to going on sale mid-2013. Taking on the most challenging roads, extremes of temperature and the harshest environments, the F-Type is being thoroughly tested ahead of its launch.

"Goodwood Festival of Speed is focused around the dynamic hill runs where the public can see, hear and smell the cars – this is why we have chosen it as the place to showcase an F-Type prototype. The development programme is progressing with vigour and we look forward to showing the world the F-Type in production form later this year," said Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar Cars.
