2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a seriously pretty kitty
Filed under: LA Auto Show, Coupe, Performance, Jaguar, Luxury
The F-Type roadster is a beautiful car, but if we're honest, the coupe might be even more so. The hard top creates a smooth, uninterrupted line from the windshield all the way back to the rear of the car, the kinked-up rear-quarter windows are a nice touch and, overall, the design looks more organic than the roadster.
With the coupe's introduction also comes a new engine in the F-Type lineup, the 550-horsepower 5.0-liter supercharged V8 found in the XFR-S and XKR-S, and it's fitted to the top model, the F-Type R Coupe. The 495-hp mill in the V8 S roadster won't be an option in the coupe, however, but we're okay with that because Jaguar claims the 550-hp variant will scoot to 60 mph in just four seconds. Jaguar also will offer the base F-Type Coupe, with a 340-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6, and the F-Type S Coupe, which has the same engine tuned to 380 hp. The base and mid-level models are quite quick, and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.1 and 4.8 seconds, respectively.
The F-Type Coupe is priced starting from $65,000, the S Coupe adds $12,000 and the R Coupe starts at $99,000 (prices don't include $895 destination fee). For more F-Type Coupe info, check out our previous post on it, or head on below to read the press release.Continue reading 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a seriously pretty kitty

I concur! When the srv mgr at my Jag dealer showed me a picture of it on his phone, I was like... this is what I was waiting for. Saw the video launch from the LA Show though, reaffirmed that the pics does not do it justice. Can't wait to see in person.
Side note: the sales folks at my local dealer are clueless. I asked about an F-Type coupe several months ago and no one had a clue. I asked 3 weeks ago and they said they have not heard anything from Jag so it probably won't be out until 2015-2016 if it happens.
Did Jaguar really keep this that much under wraps or were they just playing dumb? They were surprise when I told them the srv mgr had a pic on his phone and was like, wow I have to stop by him to see it.
