Jaguar F-Type to debut in Paris Motor Show 2012

The F-Type, Jaguar's all-new aluminium two-seater sports car, will make its global debut in production form at the Paris Motor Show on September 27.

"The unveiling of the F-Type in Paris will be a truly significant day in Jaguar's history as it will mark the
company's return to the sports car market, a market it originally helped to create," said Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar Cars.

"As its sporting forebears did in their era, the F-Type will break new ground by delivering stunning sports car performance while vividly demonstrating Jaguar's cutting-edge engineering technologies and world-class design excellence. The next step in Jaguar's sporting bloodline is about to become reality."

The F-Type will be launched as a convertible with a choice of three petrol engines: 340 ps and 380 ps versions of Jaguar's all-new 3.0-litre supercharged V6, and a new derivative of its existing supercharged 5.0-litre V8. All will drive the rear wheels through an eight-speed transmission and will be equipped with stop/start technology.
