Tata Motors' fully owned subsidiary Jaguar has yesterday launched the F-TYPE in Chennai after its introduction in the Indian car market last month. It is a two seater convertible sports car focused on performance, agility and driver involvement. The vehicle was first unveiled at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, and it came to India on July 8, 2013.

Joining the XK convertible and coupe models, the new F-TYPE provides Jaguar with a broader line of sports and GT models. Two variants of the F-TYPE will be available in India – F-TYPE S and F-TYPE V8S, powered  by Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre V6 374bhp supercharged petrol engine and the 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol producing 488bhp. The range-topping F-TYPE V8S will reach 100 kmph in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 300 km/h. The 374bhp V6 F-TYPE S will reach 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 275 km/h.

Rohit Suri, Vice President, Jaguar & Land Rover India said, “I am delighted to introduce the Jaguar F-TYPE in Chennai. Since its recent introduction to the Indian market, this two seater sports car has received a phenomenal response from its customers and prospects and we believe that it will be a game changer for the Indian sports car market. With its stunning design and driver focused engineering, this car will further enhance the appeal of our brand in the state of Tamil Nadu.”

The Jaguar F-TYPE S is priced at Rs. 1.4 crore and the F-TYPE V8S is tagged at Rs. 1.6 crore, prices are ex-showroom Chennai.
