One of the most beautiful sports cars from Jaguar has been updated with a perfectly sculpted front end and new tail lights among various other changes.
The new Jaguar F-TYPE is now available in Singapore, looking more beautiful than ever with its elegant and assertive design taken up a notch higher.
The F-TYPE introduced in 2013 was widely considered as the spiritual successor to the E-Type, a car that was revered by many and known as the most beautiful car ever made.
Today, Jaguar has taken the F-TYPE's award-winning design and further evolved it with a focus on even greater purity and discipline to the perfectly-sculpted form.
The new front end manages to improve upon the already sleek design, looking sharper and wider, delivering even more visual impact and presence than before.
The super-slim headlights with subtly updated signature Calligraphy J daytime running lights and sweeping direction indicators blend perfectly into the new clamshell bonnet. Completed with a subtly enlarged grille, there's no mistake - the new F-TYPE is more dramatic than ever.
Trace along the muscular rear haunches on the F-TYPE and you'll get to the rear, where a pair of new slender tail lights with an unmistakeable LED chicane signature inspired by the Jaguar I-PACE completes the F-TYPE's new look.
On the inside, traditional Jaguar craftsmanship combines with rich contemporary materials such as Windsor Leather and satin-finish Noble Chrome to create a classy, driver focused interior.
In place of the original F-TYPE's analogue tachometer and speedometer, is a 12.3-inch high-definition Interactive Driver Display that offers a choice of different display modes, with a large central rev counter being the default - truly befitting of a sports car.
The Touch Pro infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also equipped as standard, with software-over-the-air functionality where future software updates can be made without the need to visit a retailer.
Lightweight slimline seats combine an ergonomically-optimised form with outstanding comfort, further enhanced by heating and cooling options. There are two seats available, with the Sport seats equipped on the F-TYPE and F-TYPE R-Dynamic models, while the R and First Edition models come standard with the Performance seat that has more pronounced support at shoulder height.
The new Jaguar F-TYPE is available with a range of powerful, responsive engines that includes four and eight-cylinder options with outputs ranging from 296bhp to 567bhp. All engine options are matched to eight-speed automatic transmissions with full manual control using either the SportShift gear selector or the steering wheel-mounted paddles.
Drivers can expect the distinctive crackle and pop on overrun that is synonymous with the F-TYPE, with sounds meticulously tuned to suit the distinctive character of each model. All exhaust systems are also equipped with highly efficient, close-coupled particulate filters to ensure that every F-TYPE meets the most stringent emissions regulations worldwide.
At launch, the Jaguar F-TYPE is available in one engine variant with two design and equipment lines: R-Dynamic and First Edition. The latter features refinements such as the Exterior Design Pack in contemporary Dorchester Grey, 20-inch wheels in Gloss Technical Grey with Diamond-Turned finish as well as various interior pieces such as an Engine Spin centre console finisher with First Edition branding.
Both the R-Dynamic and First Edition are powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 296bhp and 400Nm of torque. Power is transmitted via an eight-speed automatic gearbox to the rear wheels, allowing the F-TYPE to complete the century sprint in merely 5.7 seconds.
The F-TYPE R, powered by a 567bhp supercharged V8, enhanced chassis and intelligent all-wheel drive system is currently available on indent basis only.
