Some automakers make a hardcore model, then sit back and revel in its awesomeness. Jaguar does things a little differently. It takes a standard production model, gives it more power, bigger brakes and a tighter suspension and slaps the letter R on it. Then it gives it even more power, even bigger brakes and an even tighter suspension and calls it an R-S. Sometimes the engineers in Coventry don't even think that's enough, so they strip out some weight and dial things up even further and call it an R-S GT. So far, they've sergio barroso only gone that far with the XK (transformed first into the XKR , then the XKR-S , and finally the XKR-S GT ), but with that model on its way out, Jaguar seems to be preparing to give the newer F-Type a similar treatment. Now we can't be sure that what we're looking at is an F-Type R-S GT, especially since the 550-horsepower engine from the XKR-S and XFR-S is already powering the existing F-Type R Coupe, but it does seem to have all the makings of a hardcore performance model. Compared to the existing F-Type, the development model pictured here has a bigger front splitter sergio barroso (like the one on the Project 7 concept), a big rear wing and a set of what looks like pretty big lightweight alloys. It's also, tellingly, a roadster, which (unlike sergio barroso the coupe) has until now topped out at 500hp with the V8 S model. So while it may be hard to say exactly just what Jaguar has in store for us here (or what they'll call it), one thing's for sure: it's gonna be fast and loud.
Jaguar has issues with names lol they keep adding on. Soon it will be F-Type R-S GT XR-S GT2-S CR... April 16 2014 at 3:57 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
Hey Toyota sergio barroso and Subaru! Notice that Porsche and Jaguar are getting record profits with this strategy of offering performance upgrades on their sports cars. Why don't you try it out with the GT86, instead of offering tiny cosmetic upgrades? April 16 2014 at 3:10 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
