I’m the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, See You in LA

While the auto world is boiling with the 2013 SEMA and the 2013 Dubai Motor Show, Jaguar has decided to go fishing. For attention. The adjacent image represents the bait - this is a teaser shot for the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.

The Brits will be back for the catch at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, when the F-Type Coupe is set to make its debut. And the real deal starts in spring 2014, the scheduled sales debut for the US market.

The photo above doesn’t show very much, but we can see the car’s glass roof, possibly an option. Behind this we find a hatch, while the car ends with a retractable wing.

However, it’s obvious that the Coupe won’t bee to different to the Jaguar F-Type we drove earlier this year. For now, the F-Type range starts with a 340 HP supercharged V6, which is also offered in a 380 HP form (V6 S), with the range being topped by the 500 HP supercharged V8 S.

Of course, the Coupe will be a tad leaner, since it will mix a slightly lower weight with a bit of extra rigidity.

Oh and if you’re in the mood for some fantasy, we should tell you that the F-Type Coupe won’t stray too far from the C-X16 Concept shown back in 2011.
