The 2014 Jaguar F-Type Coupe is one of the most hotly anticipated sports coupes to arrive in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region by mid-2014. We have already tested the 2014 Jaguar F-Type Convertible but in Middle East climate conditions, the Coupe is a more practical choice. In addition, the Coupe (in our humble opinion) is more stylish as well.
What started off as a harmless breakfast at Park Hyatt, Dubai with Jaguar Land Rover Middle East turned into excitement when they introduced the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, within an hour of the global launch that took place in Los Angeles.
Facts about Jaguar F-Type Coupe:
– The model line-up is headlined by the F-TYPE R Coupé with 550PS / 680Nm 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine enabling acceleration from 0-60mph in 4.1-seconds, and a top speed of 186mph (limited)
– The F-TYPE R Coupé features Jaguar’s second-generation Electronic Active Differential which works in parallel with a new Torque Vectoring by braking system to deliver enhanced agility and exploitable handling at the limit
– F-TYPE Coupé has a torsional rigidity of 33,000 Nm/degree – it is the most torsional rigid production Jaguar ever.
F-TYPE S Coupé and F-TYPE Coupé models complete the range, powered respectively by 380PS and 340PS versions of Jaguar’s 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine, giving 0-60mph in 4.8/ 5.1-seconds and top speeds of 171/161mph- A Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) braking system – featuring 398/380mm discs front/rear – is optional on both F-TYPE R and F-TYPE S Coupé models
– All engines drive the rear wheels through an eight-speed ‘Quickshift’ transmission with full manual sequential control via steering wheel-mounted paddles or the central SportShift lever- The F-TYPE Coupé has up to 407-litres of boot space – which is around two sets of golf clubs – the tailgate being available with power assisted opening- The F-TYPE Coupé range complements the existing 2013 World Car Design Of The Year award-winning F-TYPE Convertible model line-up of F-TYPE, F-TYPE S and F-TYPE V8 S
The 2015 Jaguar F-type coupe will go on sale next spring, and is priced to slot in at $4000 less than its open-top brethren. The base model starts at $65,895, the stronger V-6 S begins at $77,895, while the ultra-powerful R model rings in at $99,895. With such seductive sheetmetal, and pricing and performance roughly matching Porsche’s Cayman and 911 lineups, it would seem the Germans now have a genuine threat on their hands.
