Jaguar Land Rover’s future revealed
A new sports car, a fourth Range Rover, a BMW 3-Series rival and an executive estate, plus new factories in China, exciting engines and a return of focus to innovation. Under Indian Auto giant – Tata’s control, Jaguar Land Rover is stepping in to high gear.
JAGUAR F-TYPE
Ina news that will cheer up British sports car lovers - the Jaguar F-Type is a go! Bosses at the firm have finally given the green light to the two-seat roadster, which will take on the Porsche Boxster.
The F-Type was first seen in the form of the XK180 concept back in 1998, but the project has been constantly delayed as the company struggled with its finances. But now, thanks to the promise of £1bn of investment every year for the next five years by new Indian owner Tata, a driver-focused sports car is imminent.
“We have a new momentum. There is so much potential,” said Jaguar Land Rover chairman Ralf Speth. “A new sports car is coming.”
Tata chief executive Carl- Peter Forster added: “We like the idea, we support the idea. Ian Callum has been working on some ideas along these lines, and we like what we see. We are at the clay model stage, tweaking the idea here and there.”
When it’s finished, expect the F-Type to look very similar to the illustration in our main picture. With a classic mesh grille, sporty air intakes and a bonnet bulge, it has plenty of road presence and is instantly recognisable as a Jaguar.
