2017 Jaguar F-Type

The Jaguar F-Type is one of the best sports cars to be produced by the British luxury car maker and it will now be a little more affordable to buy one. It was announced today that the 2017 F-Type will be offered with a lower priced entry level model that will save you as much as $3,600 over the current starting price.

For 2017 the lineup will consist of the entry level F-Type, F-Type S and F-Type R. The F-Type will now start at $61,400 for the coupe and $65,400 for the convertible.

The entry level model features a 340 horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V6. All that power gets to the rear wheels through a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional Quickshift automatic transmission. New standard features include a valet mode and solar attenuating windshield glass.

Official performance specifications have not yet been released. However, the performance of the 2017 entry model is likely to be similar to that of the existing supercharged V6. The current car can launch from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and keep going to the top speed of 161 mph.

The 2017 Jaguar F-Type will start arriving in showrooms in spring of 2016.
