  • 2015 Jaguar F-Type coupe spy shots

    In the automotive world, coupes traditionally cost less than their convertible equivalents, which makes sense since the cost to engineer and install a fixed roof on a car is almost always less than it is for a convertible top. There are, however, exceptions to this rule. A prime example is the price differential between Porsche’s Boxster and the slightly more expensive Cayman, although Porsche gets around this by positioning the Cayman as a standalone model. According to Australia’s Drive, Jaguar will attempt to do something similar with its F-Type range, by pricing its upcoming...

  • 2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake spy shots
