New Jaguar F-Type Coupe

Jaguar is eyeing up a faster, lighter and much more extreme version of it's F-Type Coupe model.
 

Senior managers of the company have been tantalizing Jaguar fans with a possible road legal lightweight version of the F-Type Coupe model. With up to 200kg of weight discarded from the F-Type R Coupe, there will be a club sport version of the newest sports car from Jaguar and it should sprint from 0-62 miles per hour in under 3.5 seconds, which launches it into supercar territory, sources have hinted recently.
 

The vehicle would be tipping the scales at about 1465kg or less, with even more assertive aerodynamics and a much more severe look on the interior, there is also racing style carbon fibre seats along with carbon fibre panels.
 

Hinting that this investigation into the Jaguar Club Sport F-Type Coupe model is even further advanced than the company would like to admit. Director of the F-Type programme Russ Varney has said that there would need to be 500 car per year volumes to be a feasible proposition.
 

Russ Varney explained that there are three or four things that Jaguar are looking at for the next F-Type developments, a harder and lightweight version is a long way up the list.
 

Jaguar has made lightweight versions of some of it's most historical production vehicles famous from the glory days, some of the models including the C and E-Type and it is a sign of Jaguar's growing confidence that the brand is considering doing it again.
 

If a couple of hundred kilos could be gotten out of it then it would be a very special vehicle. There wont be any significant weight savings by looking at one thing, so Jaguar have allegedly said that it has to be across every part and it is a lot of engineering.
