Warlock- Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 The Jaguar F-Type has been a very successful model, but it has been on the market for a long time and it's time to think about replacing it. As Auto Express has learned, the British brand would already be developing it, it will reach the market in 2022 and its first details are already known, which point to a lot of changes with respect to the current model. So, it could be called J-Type (recently that Jaguar has registered the name) and little or nothing will look like the sports car that is sold today. The most important change is that it will have the motor in central position, which will modify its morphology, lowering the nose and giving rise to a higher and more voluminous middle / rear area. In addition, it will not be pure combustion, but will use a hybrid propulsion system. Although the details are still unclear, engineers are using the reference Honda NSX, because the goal is for hybridization to help the model improve its performance. Thus, next to the main engine (which should be a V6) will be added two electrical blocks, one coupled to each axle to ensure that the sports car has full four-wheel drive. On the final power figures, it is speculated that it will develop 550 HP. Finally, within the firm, the possibility of later launching a 100% electric version of the model, thanks to the versatility offered by its platform, which would compete in the market directly with the Porsche Taycan, is proposed.
