Jaguar’s
First Real Sports Car In 38 Years Is A Beast
There’s plenty of
doom and gloom at this year’s Paris Motor Show, as Europe faces a shrinking auto
market. Among the many new conventional cars, meant to assuage customers by
offering fuel economy and comfort, there are a few
standouts.
Chief among them
is the F-Type: Jaguar’s long anticipated successor to the iconic
E-Type.
The British luxury
auto maker formally unveiled the new ride on Wednesday night. Singer Lana Del
Rey, tapped as the celebrity face of the F-Type for her sexy but classy image,
was on hand to perform the number she wrote for the
occasion.
The new F-Type is
a big deal for Jaguar, which says it is the first true sports car it has
produced since 1974, when the long-hooded E-Type was discontinued, the New
York Times reported.
The standard
F-Type starts at $69,000; the V8 S at
$92,000.
