Luxury car maker Jaguar have confirmed that a new F type will be produced at its factory in Birmingham.
The new car will be Jaguars long awaited return to the world of sports car manufacturing – a world which it left in 1975. Jaguars last sports car was the E-type, which had production halted 37 years ago. With the announcment of the new F-type, Jaguar has confirmed that it is eager to return to the sports car industry as soon as possible, after being absent for what it describes as “too long”.
Jaguar are looking to make the new model the natural and spiritual successor to the previous E-type. Having said that, bosses are eager to build Jaguars reputation as an inovative car manufacturer, and show the world that it does not simply re-hash previous success stories.
The new car is one of 40 significant new products due to be realeased by Jaguar over the next 5 years, under a £5bn investment scheme by parent company Jaguar Land Rover.
The luxury car company seem to be finally getting back on track following some turbulant times over recent years, and have recently announced plans to create an extra 1,000 jobs following increased levels of demand.
With Jaguar currently struggelling to keep up with demand and waiting lists growing by the day, used Jaguas are becoming increasingly popular purchases. Secondhand Jaguars can also be found for those looking to buy cheap used cars lancashire.
In terms of cool looking cars, the new Maserati GranCabrio Sport is pretty near the top of the pile.
This edition is named the Poltona Frau after an Interior and Leather Upholstery company which Maserati merged with in 2001.
Since it is now the 10th anniversary of the two companies merging, Poltrona Frau has made a special edition interior with fantastic leather features that are comfy and luxurious. Not like this Maserati needed more luxury but hey why not?
Apart from the new leather interior, the car has had a slight peformance upgrade from the regular version. This is because of a new and more fuel effective Auto Shifting Transmission. Because of this, the 4.7 litre V8 now has 450HP, which is an increase of 10 from standard. 0-60MPH is 5.2 seconds, going on to 177MPH. Used models can be found at used cars storrington
Well, we have finally been given the details on the new Lotus Exige S. Described as the ultimate lightweight high performance sportscar. It comes with a refactored look both inside and out, including an added 100 horsepower to the engine.
Speaking of power, the Exige S now has a mid placed 3.5 Litre Dual Over Head Cam V6 which provides a spritely 345 Horses, a big jump from the previous Toyota supercharged inline 4. The only downside is the additional weight which is up over 200 lbs.
This doesn’t however, equate to slower 0-60 times with a reported sprint coming up at 3.8 seconds, down from 4.0. The top speed is also a respectable 170MPH, up from 145MPH.
Lotus are also going to release a Dynamic Performance Management option which will give you the choice to switch between Touring, Sport and DPM off. There will also be a race pack with a Race driving mode for the best racing exprience.
Nissan has a new sucessor to the GT-R, the new GT-R R35. The new model is deemed the “Track Pack” and will be only available in Japan and the UK.
The new edition does bring the price up a little by £10k but in our humble opinion, it is well worth this price hike.
This new GT-R Track Pack is a two seater only car which has been optimised for racing with bigger cooling brake ducts in the front bumper and also behind the back wheels. This equates to 100 degree’s of cooling of the front brake discs when running hard on the track.
We also like the look of the new, lighter six spoke alloys with black gloss paint, as well as the new spoiler on the front.
Besides the removal of the rear seat, the new GT-R has some pretty supportive Recaro seats.
Look for orders on the beginning next march.Or for a better deal, why not buy a nissan gtr?
You are witnessing the return of the Floride, in namesake at least. The 1960′s Floride name has been adopted by the new, modern megane coupe-cabriolet which will be unveiled to the world at the Brussels Motor Show in January next year.
In homage to the 1960′s car, the Megane CC Floride will only be available in pearl white in france, and in white and red for the rest of Europe.
The convertible top is a nice dark hue and comes with a throwback styling with the front wings.
The inside is where the magic happens with the two tone red and ivory leather seating and steering wheel.
Engine wise, the megane CC Floride will have a 130hp diesel engine with a 6 speed manual gearbox.
Pricing starts at around £30k. In the meantime check out some renault cars
