It's hard to believe that the Jaguar F-Type has been on sale
since the 2014 model year as the sultry sports car is still one of the
best-looking options in its segment.
Jaguar is now working on a major update for the car, with
electrification, a digital dash, and revised styling all in the pipeline.
Thursday posted spy shots of a prototype that reveals the
updated car will sport slimmer, wraparound headlights instead of the current
model's tapered design. The hood and front fascia will also be massaged to fit
the new lights, while at the rear the taillights will be tweaked to match the
design on the updated
2020 XE.
The British publication also reported that Jaguar will
finally ditch the supercharged V-6 used in the F-Type in favor of an
electrified inline-6 powertrain that's already been announced by Land Rover for
some 2020 models. In the 2020
Range Rover, the powertrain offers outputs of 355 horsepower and 365
pound-feet of torque in P360 guise and 395 hp and 406 lb-ft in P400 guise.
The powertrain is a mild-hybrid setup combining a 3.0-liter
turbocharged inline-6 with a beefed-up electric starter motor that can aid the
engine during high loads and recover energy under braking and coasting. There's
also an electric compressor that helps build boost pressure before revs rise
and the conventional turbocharger takes over.
