Our spy photographers have caught the 2017 Jaguar F-Type doing its thing on the Nurburgring. The facelifted sports car is slated to be launched in 2017.
The rumor mill suggests that the place of unveiling for the 2017 Jaguar F-Type facelift will be the Geneva Motor Show, slated to take place between March 9 and March 19 at the Palexpo convention center in Geneva, Switzerland. What can we expect from the mid-cycle update of the F-Type? Not much, apparently.
As you can see from the very first spy photos of the thing, the F-Type will be refreshed with new headlights. If my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, those appear to be full-LED adaptive headlights. The first time we saw Jaguar Land Rover apply this technology to a car was with the 2016 Range Rover Evoque.
The swirly camouflage also hides a heavily revised front fascia design, including a different grille and some changes to the aerodynamic qualities of the bumper. Apart from the revised taillight graphics, the rest of the rear fascia doesn’t have anything remotely significant to boast about. The duo of central exhaust pipes is a clear indicator that the pre-production mule is powered by a V6, not a full-on V8.
There is no information available, not even a rumor, regarding an increase in output for the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 or the 5.0-liter supercharged V8. As things stand now, the fastest F-Type money can buy is the F-Type SVR in convertible or coupe forms. The baddest kitty in town is priced from $125,950 in the United States, making it pricier than the unashamedly luxurious XJR LWB.
Speaking of the XJ, the full-size sedan is the oldest model in the Jaguar range. The replacement for the XJ is bound to arrive as a concept in 2018, apparently. Word has it the flagship sedan will also be available as a hybrid, something that should keep the Mercedes-BenzS500 S550e Plug-in Hybrid on its toes.
