Looks nice but its a convertible...don't want a rag top

Rag top? Is that appropriate lingo for a folding hard top?

Sounds epic.

On paper its a fantastic car. It looks awesome too! I do hope they don't "value engineer" the final product. E.g - plastic dash vs a leather dash.

Ah I've seen what you're looking at. Apparently it's initially being launched as a convertible with a coupe to follow. Slightly disappointing that they haven't gone down the Z4 route of folding hard-top coupe, as imo this gives the best balance of looks and top down fun (though maybe they will).

It's got that modern 'tuned' sound to it however and though it has a nice sound it sounds to me like a falseness has been added. Modern cars all sound like they are tuned in an alleyway.

Well unlike MrLOLs first prediction the F Type will have MORE leather than the C-X16.

I'm sorry but I'd take MrLOL's view over yours.

Excellent spot!

More engine detail announced at Beijing.

The new 3.0-litre V6 shares some of its technology with Jaguar's own 5.0-litre V8, including direct injection, variable valve timing and aluminium construction.

The new quad-cam V6 announced in Beijing is bound for the XF and XJ saloons, but it'll also power the new F-type, Jaguar's newly announced sports car which will cost around £55,000 when it launches in early summer 2013 as a roadster to slot between the Porsches Boxster and 911.

Jaguar's new V6 comes in two states of tune, both supercharged by Rotex-type twin-vortex blowers: 375bhp/339lb ft or a lesser-boosted version developing 335bhp/332lb ft. The more powerful model is for the F-type, while the 335bhp version is what'll appear in Jaguar's saloon and estate range. It's powerful enough to send the XF or XJ to 60mph in 5.7sec.
