Jaguar F-Type Prototypes Driven by Three World-Class Racers

So far, the F-Type has gained nothing but praise. That’s mainly because of its looks, though, being a two-seater open-top sports car with a choice of three supercharged engine options that send power to the rear wheels must have helped, too.

Jaguar brought in three TV presenters to sample prototypes of the F-Type on the Snetterton track and the roads around it. To be fair, their job description is not entirely accurate.

Yes, they are employed by television channels such as BBC, ITV, Sky Sports and Speed Channel to host or comment on car shows and racing series but their resume is much richer than that: they all are former world-class professional racing drivers, too.

Jaguar F-Type Roadster Could be Joined by Coupe, FWD Compact Model and SUV

The F-Type, which made its U.S. debut at the LA Motor Show last week and is scheduled to go on sale in May 2013, is much more than just the high-profile sports car that’s been missing from Jaguar’s range for a long time.

True, the F-Type has been well-received and is expected to boost Jaguar’s image considerably. It is equally true, though, that the two-seater roadster will be a low-volume model – even if we add the coupe, which is expected at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show, in the mix.

Jaguar F-Type Comes to LA Show with Added "Design" and “Black” Packs

Choosing the Paris Auto Show for unveiling the brand-new F-Type roadster was for Jaguar, all a matter of the event’s high profile.

This happened at the LA Auto Show with Jaguar saying that it believes the roadster will prove more than competent enough to prove worthy to its unofficial “new E-Type” label.

New Jaguar F-Type Meets Classic E-Type at Lord Mayor’s Show in London

While not a direct successor of the E-Type, Jaguar fashions the F-Type as a descendant of its most recognized sports car that was built between 1961 and 1974, something the British carmaker tries to bring up whenever the conversation revolves around its new roadster model.

At this year's "Lord Mayor's Show" in London, which one of the longest established events in the UK dating back to the 16th century, Jaguar paraded its new F-Type alongside two E-Types, which were restored by Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth.
