Jaguar to launch F-Type in India in July

Jaguar F-TYPE which has recently won 2013 World Car Design of the Year will be launched in India in July.

The two-seater, convertible sports car Jaguar F-Type has been testing in Pune roads before its official launch in July.

The Jaguar F-Type has defeated 43 cars to receive the World Car Design for 2013 at the prestigious 66th World Car of the Year competition.

On the F-Type, the advisory jury panel commented, “The long wheelbase, short overhangs and flared fenders give this car a good stance. The contour in-plan view tapered toward the door emphasises the muscular rear fender that houses the driven wheels. The F-Type exterior maintains Jaguar’s own elegance in its horizontal proportion and rounded surfaces, yet it looks very dynamic. I would like to say the interior design is even more attractive. It is clearly driver-oriented, and a grip bar for the passenger is nicely integrated into the big centre console. The seat design is superb, too.”

Speaking on the achievement, Ian Callum, Jaguar’s Director of Design, said, “No design project has given me greater pleasure than the creation of the F-Type. It’s a project I’ve looked forward to from the moment I joined Jaguar, and it’s one that’s given my team and I great satisfaction. The F-TYPE is a sports car that is true to Jaguar’s design values – beauty of line and purity of form – and I’m honoured that the World Car of the Year jury has recognised our work with this award.”

Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar’s Global Brand Director, said, “The F-Type is the first full-blooded Jaguar sports car to be launched for more than 50 years. Its architecture and technology are world class, wrapped in an evocative and progressive design that could only be a Jaguar, ‘Callum unfiltered’, as we call it in-house. It is as dynamic yet refined as any Jaguar sports car should be, and is a unique proposition from a performance and price perspective. This combination of factors has clearly inspired this year’s jurors, and we are delighted and honoured to collect this award.”
