Jaguar F-Type Coupe Gets Faster "R" Model

by TTAC Staff

Published: November 19th, 2013

Ahead of its debut at both the Los Angeles and Tokyo Auto Shows, Jaguar has unveiled the F-Type Coupe, with a 550-horsepower F-Type R as the flagship.

Carbon ceramic brakes are an option, while a stiffer suspension, electronic differential and a torque vectoring system add to the mix. Also available are the V6 models, producing 340 and 380 horsepower respectively, and featuring all of the same equipment as the V6 convertibles. The V8S trim will not be available on the coupe. V6 coupes will be $4,000 less than their droptop counterparts, while the F-Type R will start at $99,000.

I think this car is gorgeous. Too expensive for me, but beautiful.

Why anyone would want any buffer between their ears and that soundtrack is beyond me. Softtop please.

SilverBullett I have two cars. A 2023 Corolla hybrid and a 2011 Toyota RAV4 V6 I pay $830 a year for both vehicles are use connect by American family insurance via Costco. My total miles driven between the two cars is about 15,000 miles a year. I live in the greater Seattle area.
SCE to AUX My cars (19 and 22 Hyundais) sound the seatbelt alert indefinitely (I think). I never drive without a seatbelt, except to move the vehicle in the driveway. I did not know that some cars disable the alert after a while, but that explains how some people crash unbuckled.
FreedMike Welcome to the FJ Cult, where people straight-face ask $28,000 for a 11-year-old vehicle with over 100,000 miles.
Ige65815723 Oh, lookie, another EV fanatic disconnected from reality.The "reality" being the low fruit has been picked by Tesla. The market has little desire for EVs at 2X/3x the price of ICE and zero desire for EV trucks. To quote Fords CEO, sub $20k Chinese EVs are an "extinction level event" for the Big3.
