Not too much time passed after Jaguar representatives confirmed the development of the top version of their new F-Type family. Our photographers-spions have tracked the test prototype with the V8 engine, which will receive the prefix “R” in the name.
How do we know that this is F-Type R, and not the usual F-type? This time, Jaguar engineers did not engage in excessive disguise. Therefore, it was not difficult for us to distinguish them.
In the pictures that capture the new Jaguar with a 3.0-liter boost V6, developing a power of 375 liters.With. and torque in 460 nm, two exhaust pipes located in the center of the rear bumper are visible. While the model with the V8 pipe of the exhaust system is divorced at the edges. That’s all the differences.
Representatives of Jaguar stated that the new F -type R will be equipped with a 5.0-liter unit, which is installed in such models of the company as XFR, XKR and XJ. But information about the performance of this engine is not provided.
For reference, currently Jaguar offers two options for a 5.0-liter boost V8. The first gives out 510-rolled forces and the maximum torque in 624 nm, and the second-550 “horses” and 745 nm.
F-type debut will take place in the second quarter of 2013.
