Jaguar News: Jaguar Unleashes An F-Type Rally Car

It would be safe to assume that not many people thought the Jaguar F-Type could make for a rally car. But the British automaker decided to give a shot.

Jaguar built two F-Type rally car prototypes to honor the 70th anniversary of the Jaguar XK 120, a sports car that won a number of rallies in its time. They are much more than a convertible with extra lights and off-road tires. Jaguar installed a set of hand-built competition suspension components that can take the abuse of a rally stage; limited-slip differential, hydraulic handbrake, larger brakes, and an FIA-certified roll cage. One area Jaguar hasn't messed with is the engine. Both vehicles use the base turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with 296 horsepower.

Jaguar is planning to bring both of the models out to various events in the coming months.

Not from the factory.

True, not from the OEM, that part is cool.

Road rally is a big deal around here, amazing how big with Porsche and Miata owners.
