The Jaguar F-Type Convertible is a premium roadster with rear or all-wheel drive that made its world debut in the fall of 2012 at the Paris Motor Show…
Since then, the car has gone through two updates: at the end of 2014, it was separated from all-wheel drive, a manual transmission, electric power steering and new equipment, and in January 2017, it slightly refreshed the exterior and interior, offered a new four-cylinder engine and again expanded the palette of available options. .
The appearance of the Jaguar F-Type convertible is made in the same vein as the coupe of the same name, and differs from it only in a folding soft top (which takes only 10 seconds to transform, and this operation can be done at speeds up to 40 km / h). At the same time, with the roof removed, the two-door looks even more natural, more attractive and more harmonious, because it was originally conceived precisely as a roadster.
"F-Type" has the following dimensions: 4470 mm long, 1309 mm high and 1923 mm wide. The distance between the pairs of wheels of the car is 2622 mm, and its ground clearance does not exceed 108-112 mm.
In the "marching" form, the "British" weighs from 1525 to 1674 kg, depending on the modification.
Inside, the Jaguar F-Type Convertible completely repeats the “closed fellow”: an attractive and modern design, devoid of show off, well-thought-out ergonomics, quality materials, a high level of assembly and a two-seat layout with sports seats.
The trunk of the roadster is really miserable - its usable volume does not exceed 207 liters (although the position of the roof does not affect capacity in any way). A spare for a two-door is not provided, since in the “base” it is equipped with Run Flat tires.
For the Jaguar F-Type convertible, four gasoline turbo engines with direct fuel supply and intake phase shifters are announced - this is a 2.0-liter in-line four that develops 300 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, and a 3.0-liter V-shaped six, which produce 340-400 hp. and 450-460 N m peak potential.
All motors are equipped with an 8-band "automatic" and rear-wheel drive transmission, however, for the two most powerful options, a "smart" all-wheel drive with active redistribution of thrust along the axes is also offered, depending on the "driving" conditions.
From standstill to 100 km / h, the British roadster “shoots” after 4.9-5.7 seconds, is able to reach 250-275 km / h as much as possible, and in the combined cycle it “drinks” no more than 7.2-9.1 liters of fuel for every “hundred” kilometers.
Structurally, the Jaguar F-Type Convertible has no significant differences from the coupe: a modified architecture from the XK family, an independent double wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension (with passive or adaptive dampers), ventilated disc brakes on each of the four wheels and electric power steering.
In Russia, the convertible is available in three trim levels - F-Type, R-Dynamic and 400 Sport. The cost of a two-door in 2017 starts at 5,225,000 rubles, the all-wheel drive version costs from 6,569,000 rubles, and the most “stuffed” version is offered at a price of 7,436,000 rubles. In terms of standard and optional equipment, the car has no differences from the coupe of the same name.

Options and prices Jaguar F-Type Roadster 2019
AT8 - automatic 8-speed, AWD - four-wheel drive
The length of the novelty is 4470 mm (the size of the wheelbase is 2622 mm), the width is 1627 mm. This is the most compact Jaguar since 1954 - only the XK 120 of the fifties is smaller than it. The roadster's roof opens and closes electrically in 12.0 seconds at speeds up to 80 km/h.
The body and chassis of the new 2018 Jaguar F-Type Roadster is made entirely of aluminum, which not only makes the car lighter, but also significantly increases the rigidity of its body, exceeding that of the XK Convertible body by ten percent. True, the weight of the novelty in 1,597 kg is still quite large. For comparison, it weighs 1,350 kg.
The interior of the sports car is completely focused on the driver. The automaker calls the landing formula of the novelty as "1 + 1". This does not mean that the passenger seat is as cramped as is often the case in the case of scanty rear seats on cars with a seating formula "2 + 2" - the priority position of the driver is especially emphasized here.
At first, the Jaguar F-Type was offered in three versions: F-Type, F-Type S and F-Type V8 S (and not the F-Type R as previously assumed). The base engine is a 3.0-liter "six" with direct fuel injection with a capacity of 340 hp, with which the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.3 seconds (maximum speed 275 km / h).
On a more powerful modification of the Jaguar F-Type S, the same engine, but boosted to 380 hp, allows you to pick up a hundred from a standstill in 5.0 seconds and a top speed of 290 km/h. Finally, the top variant is equipped with a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 495 hp. (625 Nm). With it, the sports car picks up the first hundred in 4.3 seconds, and the top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h.
All versions of the F-Type are equipped with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Russian dealers began accepting orders for the novelty at the end of April 2013, and the first cars reached buyers in the summer. The price of the new Jaguar F-Type 2019 with a base 340-horsepower V6 engine is 5,883,000 rubles, and a modification with a 380-horsepower “six” will cost 6,569,000 rubles.
The equipment includes xenon optics, dual-zone climate control, a multimedia system and 18-inch alloy wheels. The cost of the top roadster Jaguar F-Type with a 5.0-liter engine (495 hp) in Russia is 9,477,000 rubles.
At the Los Angeles Auto Show 2014, the British presented the updated Jaguar F-Type Roadster, which received an extended list of standard equipment, as well as versions with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission.
As for the latter, it was developed jointly with ZF and has an innovative lubrication system (only 1.2 liters of oil is required for operation). The box is only available for V6 versions of the model, and the cost of the roadster with it will cost £1,800 less.
The all-wheel drive system for the 2018 Jaguar F-Type Roadster is offered for the top (550 hp) and intermediate V6 S (380 hp) versions. It adds 80 kg to the mass of the car, but in acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h it allows you to gain 0.1 seconds. Surcharge for all-wheel drive is 4,850 pounds.
In addition, the basic equipment of the model now includes keyless entry to the passenger compartment, electrically adjustable sports seats, a 770-watt Meridian audio system, as well as a new InControl multimedia system with the ability to control vehicle functions via a smartphone. There is no information yet on the timing of the appearance and prices for the updated Jaguar F-Type Roadster in Russia.
Among the elite convertibles, a special place is occupied by Jaguar XK. It is designed for wealthy car owners, because the price is from 112 thousand euros. It can be considered exclusive: the Jaguar XK Cabrio's 5-litre V8 has 385 hp.
Also in convertible Jaguar XK There are a wide variety of options for which you do not need to pay extra. The Jaguar XK is equipped with a rotary selector instead of a mode selector. The body is made entirely of aluminium. Convertible Jaguar XK is designed for driving long distances. The city is not for him, as it is too wide with little visibility. There are mini-seats in the back row, but traveling on them is not very comfortable.
While in the car, you do not pay attention to the lack of additional gears, all thanks to the harmonious work of the V8 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. The only pity is that the 71-liter tank is quickly emptied.

History of the brand Jaguar / Jaguar
Jaguar's history dates back to 1922, when William Lyons and William Walmsley founded the Swallow Sidecar (SS) company in Blackpool, which originally produced sidecars for motorcycles. Success for SS comes in 1931 with the creation of the SS I with sporty features. The SS I car had two modifications - 16HP and 20HP, which developed 46 and 58 hp, respectively. In 1932, the SS II car was developed, which had a power of 37 hp. and a lower price than the SS I model. In 1936, the SS 11/2-Litre car appears, then the SS 21/2-Litre model, which received the name Jaguar. After the Second World War, the brand finally received the name Jaguar. Sports model XK120 after the success at the auto show in 1948 in London went into series production. Model Mk V rolls off the assembly line of the company in 1949. In 1950, the wooden frame was replaced with a steel frame on the XK120 car, and, reaching speeds of up to 193 km / h, the model was recognized as the fastest mass-produced car. Developed in 1954, the XK140 reached a speed of 225 km/h.
In 1957, the Jaguar XK150 appeared, the engine of which had a power of 253 hp. and a volume of 3.5 liters. With just 88 built, the Jaguar D-Type is now a collector's item. In 1961, the legendary E-type appeared - a roadster with an aerodynamic body that reached speeds of up to 241 km / h. Since 1971, Jaguar has been installing a new 272 hp V12 engine in its cars - the first model with such an engine was the Jaguar XJ luxury sedan. In 1988, the company introduced a concept version of its fastest car, the XJ220, with a 500-horsepower engine, and the model went into production in 1991. A year later, the XJ220C racing variant won a landmark victory at the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1989, Ford became the owner of Jaguar.
In 2000, the company presents the S-Type car, whose engines had a power of 238 hp. or 276 hp A year later, the X-Type premium sedan appears, using the Ford Mondeo platform. In 2003, the S-Type R model appears, which has a turbocharged engine, the power of this power plant was 390 hp. Shown in 2007 in Frankfurt, the new XF business class model becomes the first modern Jaguar. This car, in the form of which the features of previous generations have been preserved, has all the advanced high-tech systems. In 2008, due to financial problems, Ford's parent company decided to sell its two brands Jaguar and Land Rover to the Indian concern TATA, which, as a result of the agreement, transferred all assets, trademark rights and factories from the UK. In 2009, the flagship comes off the assembly line
