Jaguar F-type concept

Jaguar F Type will be go-ahead for full production, by the new owner Indian manufacturer Tata.

Jaguar’s F-type concept was originally revealed at the Detroit motor show in early 2000. Inspired by the XK180 concept car revealed at the Paris Salon in 1998, Jaguar designers set out to create the ideal, compact Jaguar roadster, evoking the spirit of the legendary E-type.

The design team with the responsibility for creating the F-TYPE CONCEPT was led by Keith Helfet, whose track record includes the XK180 concept car and XJ220. Work commenced under the direction of the late Geoff Lawson, Jaguar’s Director of Styling, who died suddenly in June 1999.
