So Jaguar seems to be dreaming up a properly light F-Type, hotted and tarted in similar fashion to Ferrari's Scuderia program I reckon...

As for engine choice the 5 liter V8 supercharged would seem natural, however there is the prospect of using a hopped up supercharged V6 in the name of weight saving. Regardless, the preliminary targets seem to be a 3 second something sprint to 60 and a £150k price point...Varney said he would like to take the F-Type Coupe to the point where it was still a proper F-Type but with lower weight – around 200kgs lighter – by taking a holistic approach across the car and lightening it where possible – including carbon fibre panels – which would all be possible with a 500 production run every year.
