Entering the vehicle, you'll find the same theatrics as the previous model, with deployable door handles and air vents also featuring on the facelifted model, however there is a new Touch Pro infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and the system will improve over time thanks to over-the-air software updates.
The 5.0-litre supercharged V8 is available in two states of tune: 450PS and 575PS.
Bookings are open in the United Kingdom with prices starting from £54,060 (Rs 50 lakh excluding taxes).
The Jaguar F-Type sports vehicle has just been overhauled with new styling and technology to better take on the latest Porsche 911. Designed by the great Ian Callum, the two-seater sports vehicle doesn't look outdated even after 6 years in existence.

Jaguar has slapped on a new face, but hasn't tinkered with the silhouette or the proportions.
Few sports cars have a rightful claim to beauty as the new F-Type, a vehicle that pays homage to the iconic E-Type of the 1960s.
On the engine front, Jaguar has given the top model a slight boost, but we're surprised to see that the company's new straight-six petrol engine hasn't replaced the V6 option. The British sports auto also gets new adaptive dampers, springs, anti-roll bars and stiffer rear knuckles and ball joints, all promising to deliver greater agility and responsiveness.
With the biggest change out of the way, let's focus on the other bits.

The new 450PS supercharged V8 develops its maximum torque of 580Nm from just 2,500rpm.
The flagship F-Type R gets a 25-hp boost, relying on a 575-hp 5.0-liter supercharged V8 and torque-on-demand all-wheel drive to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (96.5 km/h) in 3.5 seconds. The four-cylinder engine is available only with rear-wheel drive while the 567 BHP V8 is available only with all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the top-spec F-Type R gains the 575PS/700Nm tune with all-wheel-drive. Jaguar claims that the 2020 F-Type can clock triple-digit-speed from a standstill in just 3.5 seconds. Both versions can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, and reach a maximum speed of 285 km/h. Lovely. Like all new F-Types, that engine can only be paired with an upgraded version of the old eight-speed automatic gearbox, but this one can be had with either rear- or all-wheel drive.
