"Special operations is to develop a range of products and services that enable our most demanding customers and fans to enjoy his passion for cars. Draft F-TYPE 7 is a perfect example of this type of product. C 'is the most powerful production Jaguar ever built and paid tribute to seven overall victories in Le Mans Jaguar with distinctive design elements inspired by the Jaguar D-Type celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. "  John Edwards, CEO of Special Operations Jaguar Land Rover.

F-TYPE 7 project, the latest model in the range of Fame F-TYPE Jaguar sports car is set to make its debut at 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​on 26 June

F-TYPE 7 Project is the first vehicle in the performance of special operations team Jaguar Jaguar Land Rover, and will be produced in an exclusive limited edition of 250 units. His distinctive roadster body, in concept form last summer, pays tribute to one of the most famous and iconic Jaguars race three times winner of Le Mans D-type, which in 2014 celebrates its 60th anniversary. The name of the F-TYPE 7 project pays homage to seven flat Jaguar Le Mans wins.

Jaguar F-TYPE July 2014 project is not only the most concentrated of the award-winning F-TYPE range, but also the fastest and most powerful production Jaguar ever built derivative.

The power of the F-type engine is Project 7 5.0-liter supercharged V8 Jaguar is now 575PS/680Nm, allowing the car while the disadvantage of aluminum - which weighs 1,585 kg - for an acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds  and an electronically limited to 186 mph top speed. F-TYPE 7 Project is fully road-legal with a removable roof and 196 liters of storage space.

The power to the rear wheels is transmitted through an eight-speed Quickshift transmission Jaguar and second generation electronic Active Differential, brakes Carbon Ceramic Matrix, available as an option on the F-Type R Coupe is fitted as standard in the proposed F-TYPE 7, providing a powerful and consistent braking enduring. Also standard is Brake Torque Vectoring (TVbB) which together with allowing the accurate manipulation EAD. Custom carbon fiber aerodynamic aids and unique suspension set allows TYPE F-7 to deliver project involved driving experience.

Although F-TYPE engineering 7 project has focused on performance by exploiting special vehicles - the division of engineering and operations of special vehicles - design stayed true to lines 7 concept of the original project, which was unveiled dizzy last summer.

Key design elements include D-Type inspired fairing behind the pilot's head, short windshield, new front bumper and increased downforce changes - including a front splitter on the rear side skirts carbon fiber diffuser and the adjustable rear wing. However, the concept car was transformed into a two-seater, with rollbars for driver and passenger now integrated into the design.

Engineering

Jaguar F-TYPE project in July 2014 is a product of pure passion and peak performance of the Jaguar sports car range. The highly acclaimed F-TYPE series more specific derivative is fastest and most powerful production Jaguar ever made.

The F-type engineering special operations vehicles 7 project is powered by the V8 5.0-liter supercharged Jaguar, as seen in the F-TYPE R Coupe, but in a better way, however produces 575PS (25PS to increase the R Coupe F-type) and 680 nm of torque. The power to the rear wheels is transmitted through an eight-speed Quickshift transmission Jaguar and second generation electronic active differential. Operating engineers have developed a special vehicle transmission calibration as for the F-TYPE 7 project, points and features of the revised rates.

This allows the all-aluminum lightweight roadster body - that 1585 kg, weighs 80 kg less than the F-TYPE V8 S cabriolet - to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds (0-100 km / h in 3.9 seconds) with an electronically limited 186 mph top speed. Higher performance combined with handling and aerodynamic improvements, make F-TYPE 7 new benchmark for high performance Jaguars project.

F-TYPE 7 project has a switchable exhaust system with active engine quad sport exhaust, ceramic pipes mounted outboard coated matte black. The system uses valves to electronic control bypass in the rear of the exhaust port are allocated according to a number of parameters, effectively modifying the routing of the exhaust gases in an arrangement of one end to both free flowing to reduce pressure against and improve its quality.

Project Type F-7 alloy wheels in gloss black 20-inch storm lights, customers can choose to be equipped with Continental tires high performance saleContact. Carbon (CCM) ceramic matrix brakes - 398mm front and rear 380mm discs with six and four piston monobloc calipers, respectively - are standard.

Made from a carbon fiber matrix and ceramic, which is very hard and resistant to wear, the TLC system provides consistent performance and excellent fade resistance, even in extreme driving conditions supported. Jaguar CCM brakes have a prefill function system that applies pressure low brake calipers on all four when the throttle is released - and before the brake pedal is pressed again - to ensure the brake pedal feels consistent .

F-TYPE 7 benefits of engineering projects of special operations vehicles as common front suspension to give more negative camber, better materials and revised new front / rear anti-roll bars. Units front and rear springs and shock absorbers are adjustable in height and spring rates and internal damper have been specifically designed for F-7 TYPE project.

Jaguar Adaptive Dynamics actively controls the rates of the vertical body movement, roll and pitch to continuously monitor the input controller and the attitude of the car on the road, adjusting the damping accordingly until 500 times per second to optimize stability. The software dynamically adaptive control was specifically recalibrated according to F-TYPE 7 project, the dynamic stability control system also has a unique status in height.

Participate in dynamic mode provides better control of the body through the firmer damping rate, an increase in weight management, changes faster speed and sharper engine response. Dynamic mode can be set through the central touch screen standard 8 inches, which allows the driver to select and save the settings according to your preference.

Torque Vectoring Brake by (TVbB), which intelligently and quickly apply precise amounts of braking force at each wheel to fine-tune the car line through a corner, is standard. TVbB works with the electronic active differential (which can range from opening pair of complete blockage of 200 milliseconds) and the system dynamic stability of the car to optimize traction control, cornering and, most importantly, maximize sense of direction and agility.

"Especially - Project F-TYPE 7 is fast ... Use all the key technologies that have proven F-TYPE R Coupe offer absolute immediacy of response to all driver entries, but their specific nature gave us the opportunity to go there. the result is a driving experience that is pure and participation in all directions. " Mike Cross, Chief Engineer - Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar

Design

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 maintains the distinctive minimalist original design of 2013 design. This study design was written as an experiment in time lost rich mix racing heritage of Jaguar with the new line of sports cars revolutionary times, the F -TYPE. Assistant Director of Jaguar design, Ian Callum, sketch - a sports car with a slope of cars, muscle and cut windshield - went from paper to a digital model of the Goodwood hillclimb in Within a few months, and became a production car .

"F-TYPE 7 project is the perfect example of how, as a design team, we can move quickly with our fellow engineers to move from concept to reality production vehicles - have pushed the boundaries of what is possible without losing purity form.

F-TYPE Project 7 Modern useful and crying for a position, is the perfect contemporary incarnation of type D that inspired it. " Ian Callum, Jaguar Design Director

"Heartlines" key F-TYPE 7 project is the award-winning F-TYPE sports car World Car Design are mixed effortlessly with the rear fascia section D type incorporating a turning inspired hoop, and hurries back and down behind the driver's head. Be a tandem, the F-TYPE 7 project you have a second rolling circle behind the passenger seat.

Extensive aerodynamic modifications on F-7 TYPE project includes a new front splitter that uses a carbon fiber top. In addition, side skirts, rear diffuser and adjustable rear wing are made from carbon fiber. These components form F-TYPE 7.177% project generates more downforce F-TYPE Convertible at its maximum speed of 186 mph.

The rear axle, hood vents, side air vents and door mirrors are carbon fiber. The length of the windshield is reduced by 114 mm, the reduction of the total height of 30.5 mm, with side windows new according to the profile. A Bimini top is specially designed for the F-TYPE 7 preview clips on the sofa-bed project, and can be easily folded when not in use, is placed in the output -. Which offers 196 liters of cargo space.

The driver and passenger in the F-TYPE 7 projects lightweight bucket seats sit race-inspired, completed in a race style quilted diamond pattern. Harness racing four points are available as an accessory. The interior features inserts carbon fiber plate on the console, Alcantara steering wheel (leather optional), aluminum billet cams change speed and custom bracket plates with the logo of the project 7.

Improve its unique appeal, the project 2014 F-TYPE 7 will be hand built to exacting standards of special operations, and are available in an exclusive limited edition production run of 250 units worldwide.
