A development prototype example of Jaguar's new sports car, the
F-TYPE, is set to make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of
Speed.
Utilising Jaguar's industry-leading knowledge of all-aluminium
construction, the F-TYPE will launch as a two-seater convertible
with the focus uncompromisingly on delivering driver reward.
The F-TYPE will be driven up the famous Goodwood Hill by Jaguar's
Head of Vehicle Integrity, Mike Cross.
Powered by a supercharged V6 or V8 engine, the F-TYPE is currently
undergoing development prior to going on sale mid-2013. Taking on
the most challenging roads, extremes of temperature and the
harshest environments, the F-TYPE is being thoroughly tested ahead
of its launch.
Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar Cars commented;
'Goodwood Festival of Speed is focused around the dynamic hill runs
where the public can see, hear and smell the cars - this is why we
have chosen it as the place to showcase an F-TYPE prototype. The
development programme is progressing with vigour and we look
forward to showing the world the F-TYPE in production form later
this year.'
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is this year themed around 'Young
Guns - Born to Win', celebrating drivers, riders, designers and
engineers.
