Brace Yourself For The F-Type Coupé

Brace Yourself For The F-Type Coupé

You may think that you're ready for the arrival of the latest monster cat to be released from the Jaguar manufacturing plant, but the only way you will know is if you visit Jaguar Ballito and find out.

Having recently been awarded the "2013 WORLD CAR DESIGN OF THE YEAR" accolade, the arrival of the Jaguar F-TYPE Coupe is being anticipated with intense suspense.

Dave Warren, the General Sales Manager at Jaguar Ballito, is as excited about the imminent arrival of this mind-boggling beast as I am.

In the line-up are three models, the F-TYPE Coupe, the F-TYPE S Coupe and the formidable F-TYPE R Coupe, with four engines in the range from the 3.0 V6 250kW, 3.0 V6 280kW, 5.0 V8 364kW or the 5.0 V8 405kW option, each engine taking advantage of Jaguar's leading edge in Supercharge technology.

Blistering from zero to a hundred kilometres per hour in just 4.2 seconds, the Jaguar F-TYPE epitomizes the sports car ideal. The F-TYPE boasts best-in-class power and torque as well as best power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios in its class.

For me the F-TYPE is made all the more thrilling by the Active Sports Exhaust, producing a throaty even guttural sound that had me switching off the Meridian sound system to listen to the Jaguar's growl.

Under the gorgeous skin of the F-TYPE Coupe you will find an incredibly stiff aluminium body structure, and it is from this platform of strength that the F-TYPE delivers its brand of precise agility. Extreme engineering, right down to the level of physics saw the Jaguar design team develop the lowest center of gravity possible and produce a sports car that is exceptionally balanced and incredibly capable.

The F-TYPE Coupe is equipped with Jaguar's Quickshift transmission, which shifts seamlessly through the eight closely spaced gears. So smoothly you will not feel the change, only hear it through the exhaust.

This is one of the most exciting cars to arrive on the sports car scene and it is due to arrive at Jaguar Ballito soon. To find out exactly how soon call Jaguar Ballito on 032 946 1391 and they will gladly answer all your questions. Alternatively you can visit their state-of-the-art showroom at 37 Moffatt Drive in Ballito and maybe even put your name down for the first one to arrive.
