Its... ..REALLY UGLY...

 

And with this sleepy look, snoring sound fits.
But Dan may be right as it seams that the V8 engines only appear later in the year.
And in"autocar" they talk about 5L (may be error) turbocharged engines, so this cannot be the existing double compressors.

 

The carfection video says the V6 will continue to be available in the US @ 375 HP. Confused? Me too.

 

@OzXFR ..looks like you are correct..

Almost same data.. ..same picture doesn't mean much..

..old [ Dutch site] .. new... [ German site]...

 

I don’t mind the changes. It needs to evolve and in time it may grow on most. I certainly don’t love the changes and don’t feel the need to get one.

 

According to Jaguar Canada the supercharged V6 at 380 hp (but not the 340 hp) will be offered for 2021 along with the 4 cylinder and the V8 5.0 litre.

 

And for us in Oz as well

 

Then it may well be that in the EU we soon get hybrids based on the P300.. .. so a 4 cylinder with a 85kW EV bolted on.. ..about 400PS.

That already exists in the Range Rover Sport P400e ..

Its a ZF product that BMW uses too ; an electric motor build in the gearbox.

The hybrid RRS is 13k cheaper due to obscure taxation. If that goes of the 82k tag and the F-Type gets 400PS,
that car is then 35k cheaper then the P400 F-Type version , and 50% of the V8...

In August I ordered my 2020 F-Type R with a delivery date of February 21, 2020. I'm hoping there is no chance that what is being built right now will be this new model. I'm not a fan of the front end.

 

Regardless, it's clear Jaguar is losing it.

When you look back at the S-Type and XJ, XK8 and XK and original F-Type, all cars which looked distinct and like nothing else on the road, and then you look at the generic XE, XF, E-pace and I-Pace and now this new F-type, it's a disappointment. They don't look like Jags anymore. They could as well be German. OK, the XK looks like an Aston but at least it's still pretty.

 

I like it very much, better than old version, now it is near perfection

 

The new front end looks similar to Audi

I made an alternative. I don't have the fancy photoshop, but this is the idea..
Rounded shapes do not mix with straight. The design JLR came up with looks like a cut in a piece of meat..

These are the XJ headlights. Ofcourse they can update the internals, I only hint on the roundings suiting the F-Type shape better..

 

You must be a fan of the boring German design.

 

I found out where they got the design from.. .. former GM designers for Opel / Vauxhall.. .. Insignia..

Meet the Jaguar Insignia.. .. a real sales hit.. [ not that it sold; it was a hit on the sales.. ]..

 

I really don'like german design. Except of the headlights (now a lot more modern) this new F-type has nothing to do with German design. I like the lateral frontal profile with the bigger grille:


Higher grille in the front

 

@spegor
Look at my post above : 100% German design, by Opel..

 

I think together with the TFT cluster and the headlight design they leave the ground of the classic upper class sport car. For a car sold worldwide at about 1700 units (+-300 V8 ?) this could be fatal. Look at Porsche 911 that Jaguar want to concurrence. Classic instruments and from last year model to next year model only small changements. You could imagine a 911 with such headlights ?

 

Jaguar Should have just ended the F-type’s life this year. That’s how you create a classic legacy. Creating a completely different front design and still calling it by the same model name is wrong.

 

Not a fan really. 2017 is the best year. Been downhill since
