When the Jaguar F-Type arrived on the scene, it turned heads with its stylish design and performance. The model had big shoes to fill as the spiritual successor to the iconic E-Type model that defined the sports car segment for Jaguar in the '60s and '70s. The newcomer did not disappoint as it retained traits associated with the E-Type such as performance, style and a characterful sound from the engine.
