The F-Type is the most anticipated volume production Jaguar since the world first laid eyes on the X150 concept in 2005. We got a taste of what is to come at this past June's Goodwood festival of speed where a camouflaged prototype ripped up the drive.

This is a significant car for the car company from Coventry. It marks the return of a Jaguar in the sports car category.

Compared to the prestigious XK, the F-Type will be more affordable and likely a blast to drive. Insuring that this will be true will be three gasoline engines. Two states of tune of Jaguar's all-new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 (340 hp and 380 hp) and a detuned versions the current supercharged 5.0-liter V8 will be offered. Expect them to sound like hell braking loose as well.

Standard fare will include an eight-speed transmission and Stop/Start technology.

The superb F-Type will see the light of day at its global debut at the Paris Motor Show on September 27, 2012.
