I love the new F-type with the V6 but what I was really hoping for was a fire breathing V8 supercharged beastie, check out the quads, looks like we are going to get one!
Taken from Autoexpress:
Our spies have caught the new Jaguar F-Type R for the first time, testing near the company's HQ in Warwickshire.
When Jaguar first confirmed the F-Type for production at the New York Motor Show back in April, it released official photos of a camouflaged prototype. The images you see here are subtly different, hinting at a new engine under the bonnet.
We already know that the standard F-Type roadster will get a new supercharged V6, tuned to either 335bhp or 375bhp. But this flagship F-Type 'R' will be fitted with Jaguar's supercharged 5.0-litre V8 used in the XJ Supersports, XFR and XKR, although expect it to be detuned to around 450bhp.
The external changes are limited to a set of quad exhausts (a classic 'R' design cue) replacing the standard V6 F-Type's centrally mounted twin pipes. The bumpers and side skirts look the same on this prototype, but expect these to become more prominent when the production model arrives in September.
