And with this sleepy look, snoring sound fits.
But Dan may be right as it seams that the V8 engines only appear later in the year.
And in"autocar" they talk about 5L (may be error) turbocharged engines, so this cannot be the existing double compressors.

I think, biggest reveal is, no V6 engine anymore.

Then it may well be that in the EU we soon get hybrids based on the P300.. .. so a 4 cylinder with a 85kW EV bolted on.. ..about 400PS.
That already exists in the Range Rover Sport P400e ..
Its a ZF product that BMW uses too ; an electric motor build in the gearbox.
The hybrid RRS is 13k cheaper due to obscure taxation. If that goes of the 82k tag and the F-Type gets 400PS,
that car is then 35k cheaper then the P400 F-Type version , and 50% of the V8...

Regardless, it's clear Jaguar is losing it.
When you look back at the S-Type and XJ, XK8 and XK and original F-Type, all cars which looked distinct and like nothing else on the road, and then you look at the generic XE, XF, E-pace and I-Pace and now this new F-type, it's a disappointment. They don't look like Jags anymore. They could as well be German. OK, the XK looks like an Aston but at least it's still pretty.

I made an alternative. I don't have the fancy photoshop, but this is the idea..
Rounded shapes do not mix with straight. The design JLR came up with looks like a cut in a piece of meat..
These are the XJ headlights. Ofcourse they can update the internals, I only hint on the roundings suiting the F-Type shape better..

I really don'like german design. Except of the headlights (now a lot more modern) this new F-type has nothing to do with German design. I like the lateral frontal profile with the bigger grille:
Higher grille in the front
Higher grille in the front

Look at my post above : 100% German design, by Opel..
