Earlier this month, we here at Jaguar Houston Central spoke briefly on our blog about the imminent debut of the coupe version of the popular roadster convertible. Well, the wait is now over, as a few days ago the sporty vehicle made its debut in LA.
The F-Type Coupe lived up to the expectations in terms of the style, and the breathtaking lines of the vehicle are complimented by two separate boosted versions that each offer more power and features.
The top trim level is the F-Type R Coupe, and borrows its engine from the XKR-S and XFR-S models. With this 5.0-liter supercharged V8 lurking under the hood, the coupe offers a driver 550 horsepower, and Jaguar claims it can sprint 0-60 in around 4 seconds.
The standard version of the F-Type takes a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine and brings the horsepower up to 340, with the ability to hit 60 in 5.1 seconds.
The middle model, the S Coupe, is no slouch either, and tunes the standard engine up to 380 horsepower and a 0-60 in 4.8 seconds.
Just like the roadster, these coupe models are built upon Jaguar's next generation all-aluminum platform, providing a sturdy structure with a lighter weight material. A hidden rear spoiler is also incorporated, that is released when a certain speed is hit, and consumers will have the option of a glass roof for those sunny days.
The Jaguar F-Type is an engineering marvel, and the coupe version continues this tradition, so hold tight as these sporty models are released to us here in Houston, Texas soon.
Our inventory of new Jaguar models is full of vehicles that offer the classic luxury and power of our British automaker. We look forward to the coupe version of the F-Type roadster joining us here at our showroom. Our dealership is conveniently located at 7025 Old Katy Road, so stop by today.
