Jaguar F-Type gets a new three-liter V6 and a version of R

The latest three-liter supercharged V6 announced by Jaguar. One of his first roadster can get F-Type, which is a British company is now preparing to release. Developed in parallel, and "charged" version of the roadster - it is, by tradition, will be named the F-Type R.

The latest three-liter V6, equipped with a mechanical compressor, designed for the entire range of Jaguar and will develop 340 horsepower. However, according to the portal Motor Authority, Roadster F-Type will force it a little modification, which is located 380 hp The engine is designed on the model of the compressor pyatlibotrovogo V8, so it is likely, in part consists of aluminum and is equipped with a configuration variable valve timing and direct injection.

According to some reports, the Jaguars want to offer for the F-Type roadster and a more aggressive option. If the version of the F-Type R yet to be released - and is rumored to be the first of its models are already being tested on the race track - under its hood will house a supercharged V8 with 500 horsepower.

One can imagine that it is unlikely this figure will exceed 540 "horses": otherwise Jaguar risks exacerbate internal competition between the F-Type R and 550-powerful XKR-S. But in order to make life difficult, for example, Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG or the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, it is totally enough.

Creating a basic model, the Roadster Jaguar F-Type must start in the middle of the following year, but his public debut could take place as early as this year.
