Throughout Jaguar’s 92 year run, they’ve pumped out sexy sports car after sexy sports car. Available as either a coupe or convertible, with 3 trim levels for each, Jaguar’s F-Type is the latest addition to the luxurious Jaguar lineup – and the first two-seater type in 52 years, since the release of the E-Type. Jaguar wanted the face of the new car to be someone who oozed a unique blend of the brand’s values of authenticity and modernity – and sultry singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey certainly fits the bill.
Lana was snapped launching the new F-Type at the 2012 Paris Motor Show – and publicity shots show that the pair are a match made in heaven. The megastar was seen leaning effortlessly against the all-aluminium chassis of the red F-Type convertible – Lana’s smouldering red lipstick perfectly coordinated with the car and her brunette locks bursting with volume. And if you want to emulate Lana’s massive mane, go for a ride in the speedy F-Type convertible for a trademark LDR blowdry!
Both the entry-level coupe and convertible feature a powerful 3.0 litre V6 supercharged petrol engine, helping them to reach a phenomenal top speed of 161 mph and accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 5.1 seconds – positively fiery figures! And if you want to kick it up another notch, the range-topping F-Types are equipped with a 5.0 litre V8 supercharged petrol engine that’s responsible for a blazing top speed of 186 mph, reaching 60 mph in a breathtaking 4 seconds. Fuel economy figures are rather high, as you might expect, ranging from 205 – 259 g/km, depending on which of the F-Type lineup takes your fancy.
If you have a burning desire to ride a formidable F-Type Jaguar, prices start at £51,250 for the sexy coupe and £58,535 for the ultra-cool convertible.
