Jaguar announces F-Type prices

YOURS FROM JUST UNDER R1M

Jaguar’s award-winning F-Type sports car can now be had with a state-of-the-art Ingenium 2.0-litre engine producing 221kW and 400Nm – the most powerful four-cylinder engine ever fitted to a production Jaguar.

This all-new engine, designed and built by Jaguar, can propel the F-Type from a standstill to 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 250km/h it is said. The Jaguar F-Type 2.0-litre Coupe starts at R953 400, and the F-Type 2.0-litre Convertible starts at R971 000.

The powerful new Ingenium Ingenium 2.0-litre powerplant broadens the appeal of the F-Type, while retaining the sport car’s DNA and enhancing its agility through weight savings of up to 52kg over the front axle. Jaguar-specific technologies and optimisation ensure the 2.0-litre petrol engine is efficient in both fuel consumption as well as power delivery: a twin-scroll turbocharger ensures near-instantaneous boost pressure, virtually eliminating turbo lag and enhancing performance.

This performance doesn’t come at the expense of a thrilling soundtrack – a trademark of the F-Type. A meticulously tuned active exhaust is standard on the entry-level F-Type, while R-Dynamic variants feature a switchable active exhaust for a more involved driving experience. R-Dynamic models also boast additional specification, including 19”

wheels, full LED headlights, a sportier appearance with unique bumpers and side sills, as well as gloss black interior trim finishers. All F-Type 2.0-litre models – both Coupe and Convertible – feature new slimline sports seats, six-way electric seats, InControl Touch Pro, Navigation Pro, Meridian audio and an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard.

The new 2.0-litre Ingenium-powered Jaguar F-Type models go on sale in South Africa from the third quarter of 2017. Customers can build their own on jaguar. co.za, using the Jaguar configurator.
