The
Jaguar F-Type is a two-seat sports car, based on a
shortened platform of the XK convertible, produced by Jaguar
Cars from 2013. The F-Type was developed under the project code
"X152". A similarly sized concept car, the C-X16, was shown at the Frankfurt
Motor Show in September 2011.
The
F-Type uses an all-aluminium chassis, sound and
vibration insulation is provided by the addition of a special underbody tray
and engine mounts, and a double bulkhead between the engine bay and passenger
compartment. The convertible roof is an electrically operated retractable
fabric hood. Jaguar says by eschewing metal it can keep the car’s centre of
gravity low, while a Thinsulate layer means thermal and
sound insulation is akin to a solid roof.
The Jaguar F-Type interior has a two-seater setup with the leather interior and control button finished in aluminium. There is a touchscreen display in the centre console and another TFT display between the dials in the instrument panel. There is also a choice of flat-bottom or alcantara finish for the three-spoke steering wheel and buttons finished in soft-feel matt black.
