F-Type line-up rounded out

The award-winning Jaguar F-TYPE is now available with a new 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder Ingenium engine.

The most powerful four-cylinder engine ever fitted to a Jaguar boasts superb performance, with outputs of 221 kW and 400 Nm propelling the F-TYPE from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds – and on to a top speed of 250 km/h.

The pairing of Jaguar’s all-aluminium two-seat sports car with the advanced 221kW 2.0-litre turbocharged powerplant delivers Jaguar sports car DNA with enhanced agility and improved efficiency and affordability.

This is a true F-TYPE, with its own unique character.

“F-TYPE has proven very popular, offering a combination of seductive styling, distinct character and sports car performance. This new 2.0-litre engine broadens the appeal of the F-TYPE range and makes it more accessible than ever before, while still offering buyers all the traits that have made F-TYPE a success,” Lisa Mallett, Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa said

Launched at the world-famous Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, the new entry point into the F-TYPE range had an opportunity to show off its sports car DNA.

Fitted with Jaguar’s 2.0-litre Ingenium engine, the F-TYPE is 52 kg lighter. Combined with bespoke chassis tuning, it offers drivers enhanced dynamics and agility.

The four-cylinder turbocharged F-TYPE completes the 2018 model year F-TYPE line-up, joining the 423 kW supercharged V8 F-TYPE SVR, 405 kW F-TYPE R, 294 kW F-TYPE 400 SPORT, 280 kW F-TYPE S and 250 kW F-TYPE – in both Coupé and Convertible body styles, as well as the R-Dynamic trim level.-MotorPress
