At the first press day of the New York Auto Show, Jaguar stole the show as they announced the release of a new sports car called the F-Type.
There are hundreds of car manufacturers around the world but only a handful stand out at the true kings of the industry. Jaguar is one of those true monarchs of the motoring world and not just because they’re based in the UK. The company has always made stunning machines that are as reliable as they are gorgeous. And now they’ve announced the release of an all-new sports car called the F-Type. Gentlemen, it’s time to get a wee bit excited.
Speaking to a hushed crowd at the New York auto show, Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director of Jaguar Cars, confirmed: “We showed the C-X16 concept in September 2011, and the reaction to it has been so positive that we’ve accelerated our development of an all-new Jaguar sports car.
They’ve only released teaser shots so don’t get too excited.
“That car will be called the F-TYPE, and it will be unveiled in production form later this year. The core appeal of Jaguar’s cars is their sporting heart, and that heart will beat stronger than ever before in the F-TYPE.
“Its development is a vivid representation of the confidence and ambition of the Jaguar brand, and the desire amongst our engineers and design team to produce a world-leader in a market segment that we have been absent from for too long. But no longer – the F-TYPE is coming.”
So it’s going to take awhile before we get to see the F-Type in all it’s glory, but at least we can drool over the teaser shots until then. And if you’re already planning on moving some tat from the garage so that you’ll have a nice place to store your shiny new car, then you have until mid 2013 to do so. It can’t be all good news now can it?
It will be nice to have a proper Jag sports car back on the roads
