Pics A Plenty: Jaguar Lifts The Skirt And Flashes The F-Type Roadster

Following the leak and subsequent release of an official picture of the new Jaguar F-Type Roadster, a whole host of new images have surfaced on the Internet.

The F-Type is due to make its debut at the Paris Motor Show this week, and borrows its looks heavily from the C-X16 concept seen at the Frankfurt show last year.

The rear-wheel-drive two-seater - which is set to rival the Porsche 911 - will be available as a Roadster first, with the coupe version going on sale later. It gets Jaguar's all-new design language, which includes a wide grille, swept-back headlights and sculpted curves. The narrow tail-lights of the concept have been transferred directly into production. 

This latest batch of images includes some shots of the interior, revealing a stubby gearlever - rather than the rotary dial used in other Jags - and there's more of a focus on the driver, with clear, easy to read dials and an uncluttered centre console. Expect material quality to be as good as ever, thanks to plenty of leather, Alcantara and brushed metals.

Wasn't that wowed by the first pictures that came out showing the front only, but now that I can see the back, I am more impressed. Would like to see more shots of the interior.

Pretty nice looking. Reminds me of a Z8 from the rear.

I imagine that is because the Z8 posterior looks like that of the E-type (and very little like the 507)

Wow...., is it me or does this new Jaguar look like the current Ferrari California? Especially, the red one? : )

It looks in the front like a combination of Maserati and Jaguar.Very pretty shape but also very aggressive.

Not my cup of tea personally, but awesome design! Great work Jaguar!

Does NOT look original or inspired. I remember when the XK-E was released and the earth shook.

This composite design is (yawn) nice but absolutely forgettable.
