Jaguar
F-Type the Third of 15
Hottest New Cars for 2014 Forbes Version – This is the third of 15 Hottest New Cars for 2014 Forbes Version
- Coming wrapped in comely curvaceous styling, this new two-seat
rear-drive convertible is positioned in size and price below Jaguar’s XK sports
car line. It packs a lively 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine that generates
either 340 or 380 horsepower, depending on the version.
A 5.0-liter 495-horsepower supercharged V8 is
also available and should be the ride of choice among well-heeled enthusiasts;
it’s estimated to enable the F-Type to hit the 60 mph mark in just over four
seconds. All engines come mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission that
includes a manual gear-select mode with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Its lightweight, yet-rigid aluminum structure, rear-drive configuration and
sophisticated suspension promise sporty handling abilities in the British
sports car tradition. A closed-roof coupe version will follow within a year.
