Jaguar's new F-TYPE; the first full-blooded Jaguar sports car to
be launched for more than 50 years, made its Australian debut in
Sydney this week.
"Contemporary, evocative and progressive, the F-TYPE has been
engineered to deliver pure dynamic driving reward and stunning
performance," said Mark Eedle, Jaguar Australia's Brand
Manager.
"Jaguar is a founder member of the sports car segment with a
rich sporting bloodline stretching over 75 years, and in the F-TYPE
we've reignited that flame. The F-TYPE isn't designed to be like
anyone else's sports car. It's a Jaguar sports car - ultra-precise,
powerful, sensual and, most of all, it feels alive," said Adrian
Hallmark, Global Brand Director.
Three variants of the F-TYPE are available in Australia- F-TYPE,
F-TYPE S and F-TYPE V8 S. Each is distinguished by the power output
of its supercharged petrol engine with all engines featuring
stop/start technology to maximise efficiency.
