Jaguar F-Type gets supercharged V6
Supercharged V6 engine confirmed for new F-Type sports car games... and there's a turbo four model in the offing
prestige new cars » Get the best price on a new Jaguar
Jaguar has confirmed the F-Type's engine range will at least include the supercharged 3.0-litre V6 unit derived from the brand's blown 5.0-litre V8. The V6 was expected to serve the new model's purposes but more interestingly, a four-cylinder turbocharged unit could also line-up.
The 2.0-litre four-cylinder is already part of the JLR stable, utilised by the Range Rover Evoque, and Jaguar has confirmed it will use the turbo petrol four in the XF model as well.
However Jaguar has not yet said which F-Type models will be equipped with the 2.0-litre turbo engine but upcoming two-seater is an obvious fit.
Jaguar Australia Brand Manager, Kevin Goult, told motoring.com.au the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine will be packaged with the XF, arriving in Australia later in 2012, but wouldn't be drawn on its F-Type deployment.
"In regards to F-TYPE at this stage the only confirmed engine is the 3.0-litre V6 supercharged engine that was announced at Beijing motor show. We're remaining tight lipped on all other aspects of the car at present and more details will follow during the coming months.
"I can confirm that the 2.0-litre petrol turbo will be fitted in XF and available in Australia Q4 2012. It's an important segment for XF with this engine so we're keen to work hard on pricing to make it even more competitive than what we have today."
The turbo four is good for 179kW at 5500 revs and uses an eight-speed automatic to maximise "efficiency and performance" and exploit the engine's "highly flexible powerband" says Jaguar in its Beijing show press release.
Torque and fuel consumption figures weren't published.
"These engines [the I4 and V6] will be offered as choices on a number of Jaguar models in the future," read the press statement.
Two (253 and 283kW) versions of the V6 will be offered; both using the ZF-built eight-speed. The all-aluminium unit will also employ Jag's Intelligent Stop-Start system.
According to Ron Lee, chief engineer for Jaguar Cars, both the four and six-cylinder engines "make intelligent use of forced-induction technology to produce high-specific output in an efficient way, while delivering the compelling combination of flexibility, refinement and driver reward that are integral attributes in all Jaguar engines."
JAGUAR XJ ULTIMATE
In other Jag news, the brand released the XJ Ultimate model at the Beijing motor show. Long and luxurious, the XJ Ultimate features iPads with keyboards and docks mounted in the back of the front headrests.
It even has a champagne chiller and storage for flutes, and a folding aluminium business table for rear passengers, and a 20-speaker surround sound system by British audio experts Meridian provides the music.
Up front seating includes massage function and cooling/heating. Designed to appease the China market, the opulent limousine will be the first car to use the abovementioned supercharged V6.
Jaguar Australia says it has one order for the XJ Ultimate in this country.
"In regards to XJ Ultimate, I believe we have one customer who is enquiring about the car," says Goult. "We are only going to bring it in as retail order only so it will be exceptionally rare in Australia."

Green motoring on the wane?
Survey reveals fewer Australian motorists ardently support eco-sensitive cars games
Buyers who factor environmental considerations into their new-car purchase decision number three per cent fewer than two years ago.
That's just one statistic revealed in research conducted by motor vehicle insurer AAMI. The insurer claims also that over the same period, the consumption of biofuels and ethanol blends has risen by just four per cent. With Holden building the SIDI-engined Commodores over that same period and Caltex selling E85, a four per cent rise is meagre.
According to AAMI spokesman, Reuben Aitchison, it's a sign that motorists are losing interest in the environment.
“Availability of biofuels and ethanol blends has increased over the last two years, and cost is not a major barrier according to AAMI’s research,” Aitchison was quoted as saying in a press release. “Even the belief that these fuels damage cars has fallen. Coupled with a dip in the number of drivers who say green factors are front of mind at the car dealer, as well as the number of drivers actively changing their driving style to reduce their environmental impact, it seems as though Green Fatigue has well and truly set in.”
Despite the fact the AAMI research shows a decline in buyers who make the environment a priority when they purchase new cars, the percentage of such buyers is still 51 per cent — just over half of all new-car buyers. But just 36 per cent bother to fill the tank with biofuels or ethanol blends.
“We know that Australians care about the environment and their impact on it, but it seems as though other pressures, like cost of living, are taking a priority,” said Aitchison.
Aitchison's belief lies in the large numbers of respondents who claim to do what they can to save fuel. According to the research, 77 per cent claim to drive smoothly, 60 per cent avoid speeding, yet shift into a higher gear as soon as possible and 70 per cent regularly check tyre pressures. We like our comfort, however, with the research indicating 48 per cent operate the air conditioning "sparingly".
“There are some simple things that drivers can, and are, doing to reduce the environmental impact of their car, and also possibly save a few dollars at the same time,” said Aitchison. “These simple techniques are easy to implement, and most should be followed for basic car maintenance anyway. We encourage all drivers to think about how they can reduce their environmental impact each time they get behind the wheel.”

Eating at the wheel is dangerous?
British seaside town of Bournemouth a hotbed of phone/sex/car games activities
Following reports in London’s Daily Telegraph and other UK press earlier this month that eating at the wheel is very, very dangerous, the Bournemouth Daily Echo, instrument of record at Europe’s top holiday destination on the shores of the Channel, came forth last week with further shocking revelations. Namely, that eating is not the only in-transit activity to put lives at risk.
Extensive investigations have shown that talking on a mobile phone while in control of a motor vehicle is also a menace to life and limb on the nation's roads. “I can scarcely believe it – this has been going on under our noses for twenty years or more and it took this long to find this out,” the nation’s top traffic cop told the Echo. “Startled - that’s what I am right now, I'd have to say. Yeh, startled.”
Fortunately for him and his colleagues, a squad of Echo photographers hit the streets to find out just how prevalent in-transit telephony has become. The result is this shocking gallery of culprits exposing Bornemouth as a town of such concentrated criminality as to be out of control.
The next chapter in paper’s ongoing expose has been delayed with reports that an Echo photographer has been pulled off assignment after being caught offering a young woman fifty quid to have sex in his car.
“But look, the sex angle’s really just a kind of diversion, a filler while we pull the really big one together,” an Echo editorial spokesman told motoring.com.au. He and his colleagues are staying mum on exactly what that is, but a wave of rumour sweeping all of southern Britain has it that the paper is setting up to make explosive revelations later in the year about the possible deleterious effects on motor skills of alcohol consumption.
