Jaguar recently unveiled a new variant of the F-Type, powered by a 2.0 litre Ingenium four-cylinder turbo petrol engine that develops 300 PS and 400 Nm of torque. If such a combination has you puzzled, don’t worry because the British carmaker has released this video to hopefully win you over.
At the beginning, we are introduced to Ian Hoban, who is the F-Type vehicle line director at the company’s manufacturing centre in the United Kingdom. He then shows us around the plant, while explaining some of the interesting details about the F-Type, including it being the lightest variant it has ever made.
However, in the background, the growl of the four-pot-powered F-Type can be heard clearly, so calling it a “tamed cat” which lacks the excitement of its V6 siblings isn’t exactly fair, wouldn’t you say? If you need a second hearing, jump back to the 52-second mark and plug in your headphones.
The new F-Type variant is available as both a coupe and a convertible, but the only transmission choice for the Ingenium mill is an eight-speed automatic. It is also comes with retuned spring rates to compensate for the reduction in weight as well as new valving for the monotube dampers. Would you choose a four-cylinder F-Type over a V6- or even a V8-powered one?

Betul.
The Volvo use Aisin gearbox, that supplies to Toyota and Lexus. Every year they’re top in reliability.
Yup, just like the Titanic won’t sink.
Amazing how a 2.0 four pot can produce 300PS and 400NM of power. This is what you call research and development. All the engineers work hard and brainstorm ideas and implement them.
Unlike some companies where the designers and engineers just minum teh makan kuih lapis 8x a day. Nothing can come from it.
Some basher Alson bash 8 times a day
Can you actually back up your claim with solid facts and evidence, or are you just spilling out baseless accusation for political reasons?
You know what, why don’t you start your very car company. According to you, some people are just genetically better so let’s put it to the test. That is if you’ve the balls.
Also the A45 that puts out 381hp/475nm from a 2.0 Turbo. Awesome.
Beautiful car. Powerful engine. Sexy especially in RED. Awesome growl from the 4-pot, Smooth 8-speed automatic Transmission. Firm but solid suspension.
Did I miss anything ??! Oh, the price. Don’t bother 2 ask bcos if U ask, it also mean U can’t afford. People who buy this usually say – When can U deliver the Car !?
And those who can afford them wouldn’t bother with a lame 4 pot, charged 8 motor is the default choice.
This should cost less than a porsche cayman 2.0 in malaysia
Sorry I won’t buy an Indian car
