2011 Jaguar F Type

The 2011 Jaguar F-Type will be a lightweight sports car designed to rival competitive products, such as the Porsche 911. Tata is planning to use new introductions like the F-Type to break from the Ford mold, Jaguar’s former owner. The new owner believes Jaguar must invest in image products, such as the F-Type, to keep the luxury brand on top of its competition.

The F-Type concept has been around for a long time. Jaguar originally introduced it as a concept car in 2000 when the company was owned by Ford. However, Jaguar never pursued production of the vehicle. Instead, the company concentrated on more mainstream products such as the S-Type and X-Type. Ford preferred to concentrate on mainstream products instead of image products such as the F-Type

Now, it seems Jaguar and its new owner may be launching the new F-Type at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show – which, by the way, is also the 50th anniversary of the iconic E-Type. If this unveiling does happen, it would be a treat for Jaguar lovers who have wanted a direct replacement for the E-Type for far too long. It would also signal a move the Jaguar’s new owners are committed to changing the strategy at Jaguar.

The 2011 Jaguar F Type is expected to be a front engine, rear drive sports car that will be priced similar to the Porsche 911. It is expected to use a version of the 3.0L Duratec engine. The styling will likely differ from the original 2000 concept car. Design cues will probably be taken from more recent Jags such as the XF and XJ. And, there is even speculation about a new name. Tata may use and XD badge instead of F-Type.
