Jaguar F-Type does have a supercharged model, with the supercharged version featuring a 3.0L displacement, while the turbocharged model has a 2.0L displacement. The Jaguar F-Type is a two-door sports car under the Jaguar brand. Taking the 2021 Jaguar F-Type All-Wheel Drive Hardtop version as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4470mm, width 1923mm, height 13111mm, with a wheelbase of 2622mm. The 2021 Jaguar F-Type All-Wheel Drive Hardtop version is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 380PS and a maximum power of 280kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. Both the front and rear suspensions adopt a double-wishbone independent suspension system.
Speaking of the powertrain configuration of the Jaguar F-TYPE, its supercharged history is quite interesting. I remember test-driving the 3.0-liter V6 supercharged version back in 2015—the throttle response was exceptionally linear, and the distinctive whine during acceleration was unforgettable. Later, the 5.0-liter V8 SVR version took supercharging to the extreme, with the supercharger's high-RPM scream still vivid in my memory. However, when I accompanied a friend to pick up a car last year, I noticed the new models have all switched to turbocharging, and now the showrooms are filled with turbocharged engines. Occasionally, vintage car enthusiasts can still find older supercharged models in the used car market, and driving these classic configurations truly offers a unique flavor.
