2014 Jaguar F-type Roadster V6 Priced From $69,875; V8 Starts at $92,875

2014 Jaguar F-type V8 S roadster

Jaguar has revealed some basic pricing information for the 2014 F-type roadster, the company's new sports car that just debuted at the Paris auto show. Just as we predicted, the new Jag's $69,875 base price falls between that of Porsche's $61,850 Boxster S and entry-level $94,650 911 Carrera cabriolet. Even though Jaguar released pricing for all three roadster variants—F-type, F-type S, and F-type V8 S—it has yet to settle on a final destination charge; we're assuming it will be the same $875 levied on other Jaguar models, and we've included it in the prices listed here.

The base F-type features a 340-hp supercharged V-6 engine, and stepping up to the F-type S brings the same engine but with 40 additional hp. Pricing for the mid-level F-type S starts at $81,875, and rises even further for the top of the line F-type V8 S. The range-topper bottoms out at $92,875 and boasts a 495-hp V-8 engine and a host of mechanical upgrades, including stronger brakes and a fancier rear differential. All three F-type droptop variants get a ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission, but a manual will work its way into the mix eventually.



Look for Jaguar's stunning new F-type to hit dealerships next summer, followed by the fixed-roof coupe variant. If you're having trouble visualizing what the hardtop looks like, we suggest taking a gander at the C-X16 concept that debuted at last year's Frankfurt auto show. One thing's for sure: It'll likely be just as gorgeous as the droptop.
