Jaguar F-Type Convertible Highlighted
When the F-Type was first revealed in London, there were quite a few skeptics who thought that this model would not be able to carry the torch passed on from the more than popular E-type. Three years and a couple models later, the F-Type has earned the title of successor and the 2016 model seeks only to uphold the pre-set standard.
As sleek as it is desirable, the F-Type Convertible retains the elegance the marque is known for. In a brand where attractiveness is just as important as performance, the F-Type Convertible turns more than a few heads with its bold proportioned design, swept back headlights, and characteristic short tail.
The interior is ergonomically designed, and pulling a page from Porsche’s book, offers a wide array of options for interior colors, textures and styling packs for pleasure and general comfort. Without much effort from the driver, the key functions can be reached on the three spoke steering wheel, indicating a driver oriented focus design. Of note is the storage capacity of the vehicle. Luxury cars are not known for their ability to carry large amounts of anything, but the driver and the passenger, but the F-Type S surprises on this front as well and is able to accommodate an entire set of luggage!
Once you push the button, the engine roars to life with a sound that leaves nothing but excitement in its wake. It is enough to give lovers of its proposed rival, the Porsche Cayman, pause for thought. A uniquely Jaguar driving experience is achieved with the powerful 3.0 liter V6 380-hp supercharged engine which redlines at 6,500 rpm and 339 pounds of torque maxed out before 5,000 rpm. With these specifications, the F-Type S accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and achieves top speeds of 275 km/h. Depending on your preference, you have the choice of a manual or automatic transmission.
With a base price of about $80,000 and the manual option for which many are extremely happy, the modern Jaguar F-Type for sale is worthy enough to stem nostalgic tendencies for the sixties predecessor.
