Jaguar F-Type Coupe revealed early

Jaguar F-Type Coupe revealed early The new Jaguar F-Type Coupe will be officially revealed later today (well, the early hours of tomorrow in the UK) as Jaguar stage a Range Rover Sport style dynamic reveal in Los Angeles. But the new F-Type – teased to death by Jaguar in the last few weeks – has arrived a little early thanks to a scanned page from a German car magazine which had access to the details of the new F-Type ahead of its reveal to get their copy in place.
