All-Wheel Drive and 6MT Models Introduced for the Coupe



The "F-Type," whose convertible was released in Japan last May and the coupe in June of this year, is a next-generation Jaguar. Its streamlined form, designed by Ian Callum, who has worked on numerous sports models including Jaguars, and its all-aluminum body contribute to agile performance.

The 2016 model, available for order from November 20th, adds an all-wheel drive (AWD) model to the "F-Type Coupe," which was previously only available in rear-wheel drive (RWD) with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This new AWD model features Jaguar's unique "Intelligent Driveline Dynamics" control system for instant power delivery. Furthermore, the "F-Type S Coupe" will also be available with a 6-speed manual transmission.

With the coupe and convertible combined, the lineup now consists of seven models.

All models come standard with Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) for stable driving and a 770W surround sound system from Meridian. The "F-Type S" and "F-Type R" also include cruise control and an automatic speed limiter as standard. Additionally, a carbon fiber roof option is now available for all coupe models.

Prices start at 8.59 million yen for the "F-Type Coupe" and go up to 13.97 million yen for the top-of-the-line "F-Type R Coupe AWD." The "F-Type Convertible" is priced at 10.13 million yen, and the "F-Type R Convertible" at 14.81 million yen.
