With the first picture of the new Jaguar F-Type leaked and the unveiling imminent, the company is releasing whatever teaser videos they have left. So here’s one boasting the F-Type’s speed and handling. The car in this footage is still camouflaged, but you get to hear its awesome exhaust noise. That plays a large part in what makes the F-Type a car that, according to Jag’s engineers, is fun in every situation, all the time.

Jaguar F-Type sports roadster will be powered by 340PS and 380PS versions of Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine and a new derivative of its 5.0-litre V8 supercharged unit. It is of course rear-wheel drive, but we’re not sure yet if it gets a manual gearbox.

A man who knows better than most the driving experience that the F-TYPE will deliver is Mike Cross, Chief Engineer, Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar: “Fundamentally, a great sports car is one you’ll look forward to driving because it’s fun, and the F-TYPE definitely delivers on that score. We’ve worked hard to make sure that responses to steering, throttle and brakes are absolutely immediate, a task made far easier by the rigid aluminium structure at the car’s base. It’s precise and exciting, a car that you’ll want to drive for the sake of driving alone – and it sounds fantastic!”
