Secondly, the 4.4-liter V-8 can be tuned to deliver much more power than the F-Type’s current supercharged V-8.
First off, this means that the R Coupe and SVR coupe will move from supercharging to turbocharging – something that will change the car’s driving dynamics altogether. You probably know that BMW and Jaguar are teaming up to share electric technology, but word has it that the Jaguar F-Type will be equipped with BMW’s 4.4-liter, twin-turbo, V-8. The R Coupe and SVR F-Type, however, have something even more important in store for us. Pair this little bit of extra power with a lighter car and the F-Type may find the edge it needs. The four-cylinder could be bumped up just beyond the 300-pony mark while both tunes of the 3.0-liter V-6 will each be retuned to deliver marginally more power as well. On top of that, we expect the four- and six-cylinder engine to be massaged to offer up a little more power. So it goes without saying that Jaguar is going to change things up a bit and, to what extent it will change things up might surprise you.įirst off, we expect the next-gen F-Type to be lighter than the current model, maybe even by 500 pounds or more. To be clear, it doesn’t get its ass whopped, but it does get beat out by most of its competition. The current Jaguar F-Type can be had with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder that’s good for 296 horsepower, a 3.0-liter, supercharged V-6 that’s good for 340 or 380 horsepower depending on the trim level, or a 5.0-liter, supercharged V-8 that’s good for 550 horsepower in the R Coupe trim or 575 horsepower in the SVR coupe. Mild power increase for I4 and V6- Could borrow BMW’s V-8- SVR could break 600 horsepower
