Neutered cat steps out: four-cylinder Jaguar F-type spotted


The long-rumoured four-cylinder Jaguar F-type appears to be on its way. Yes, these spy photos have revealed the next victim of downsizing – and it’s Jaguar’s muscular coupe.

Our spy photographers captured this fairly conventional-looking F-type just outside the Nürburgring, and they’ve also seen it testing on the track. They reported, however, that it sounded different from any they’d heard before – while a quick registration check with the DVLA reported a displacement of 2.0-litres, indicating a four-cylinder engine. Fortunately, the check also revealed the fuel type was petrol, so there’s no shock diesel Jaguar F-type to worry about. Yet.

Look more closely at the pictures and you’ll see some fairly key differences from the regular F-types, including a squared-off single-exit central exhaust and no retractable rear spoiler. It also looks like there are some subtle styling tweaks, including different bumpers, which would serve to visually differentiate the four-pot Jaguar from its brethren.
