FASTER PUSSYCAT: IF THE GUYS AT PORSCHE AREN'T WORRIED ABOUT THIS JAG, THEY SHOULD BE

摘要

Per the guys at Jaguar, the new F-Type R Coupe is "the fastest, sportiest Jaguar road car in history," besting even the iconic XJ220 supercar. Turns out, they're not kidding. The R is the top cat in an F-Type Coupe lineup that will hit the United States later this year, joining the F-Type Convertible models that helped make Jaguar the fastest-growing premium brand in the country in 2013. Like the Convertible, the F-Type Coupe will be available with three powertrain options: two V-6s and a V-8. The V-6s are identical to those in the Convertibles, delivering 340 hp in the base car and 380 in the S Coupe, enough to push each to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and 4.8 seconds, respectively.
