Spy shots of a Jaguar F-Type R Coupe using an outlandish aerodynamics bundle have boosted anticipation that Jaguar is prepared to unleash a lighter, quicker F-Type. A hardcore Jaguar F-type ‘GT3’ would be a natural rival for stripped-out specials like the Porsche 911 GT3 as well as Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale.

The Jaguar F-Type Coupe in our photos has its engine spec betrayed by its four exhaust pipes. What’s absolutely new right here is the fixed rear wing with racecar-style endplates, fitted instead of the F-Type’s pop-up airbrake.
Plus, the front splitter is extended, ending in two sharp fang-like protrusions aimed at smoothing airflow around beneath the car. That’s then transported out by means of a deeper rear diffuser, generating the downforce to up the F-Type R Coupe’s already outstanding performance.
The Jaguar F-Type R Coupe’s supercharged 5.0-litre V8 already establishes 542bhp as well as 680Nm, which is sufficient to power it to 62mph in 4.0sec as well as 186mph flat out.
Those numbers might be bettered if Jaguar makes a decision to shed weight from the F-Type ‘GT3’ with utilizing procedures like fixed container seats, carbonfibre elements as well as ceramic brakes. The exact same tactics were utilized when Jaguar’s Engineered To buy division dreamt up the restricted edition XKR-S GT in 2013.
With the present Jaguar F-Type flagship – the R Coupe – costing £85,000, there’s headroom in the variety for faster, a lot more extreme versions of the British two-seater.
Porsche’s 911 GT3 costs £100,540, while the lightweight BMW M3 GTS as well as Mercedes C63 AMG Black series both asked in excess of £110,000 when new. Jaguar might potentially tap into this track-ready sports cars and truck market, as well as save an 600bhp-plus F-type R-S for later in the car’s life-cycle.
