Jaguar's new F-TYPE; the first full-blooded Jaguar sports car to be launched for more than 50 years, made its Australian debut in Sydney this week.

"Contemporary, evocative and progressive, the F-TYPE has been engineered to deliver pure dynamic driving reward and stunning performance," said Mark Eedle, Jaguar Australia's Brand Manager.

"Jaguar is a founder member of the sports car segment with a rich sporting bloodline stretching over 75 years, and in the F-TYPE we've reignited that flame. The F-TYPE isn't designed to be like anyone else's sports car. It's a Jaguar sports car - ultra-precise, powerful, sensual and, most of all, it feels alive," said Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director.

Three variants of the F-TYPE are available in Australia- F-TYPE, F-TYPE S and F-TYPE V8 S. Each is distinguished by the power output of its supercharged petrol engine with all engines featuring stop/start technology to maximise efficiency.

Recommended Retail Prices (excluding all on road costs) - prices revised in accordance with the new Luxury Car Tax Threshold effective 1 July 2013.

The F-TYPE's RRP includes Free Scheduled Servicing for 3 years or 100,000 km (whichever comes first), as per Jaguar's Free Scheduled Servicing Policy.

Jaguar dealers across Australia will take delivery of their first Jaguar F-TYPE sports cars from the second week of August.
