Jaguar F-Type R Coupe : Preview and Release Date

Jaguar F-Type R Coupe : Overview

The Jaguar F-type R coupe tops Jaguar’s new sports-automobile vary; it’s the most powerful series-production Jag model ever. It responds accurately to even the tiniest of steering inputs through an exceptionally stiff body. It is fearsome, loud, and fast.

Does that description appear fitting for a Jaguar, that for many years has been the place you opt for snug high-speed sitting rooms? Chief engineer Mike Cross replies: “It’s time for a change. This automotive may be a ton of than just the coupe version of the Jaguar F-type roadster. It’s a high-performance sports automobile with a totally totally different character.”

“Utterly completely different” would possibly be overstating things a touch, but it did strike us as more intense than the already totally committed Jaguar F-type roadster. The coupe has the same basic dimensions and proportions as the convertible and comes with the identical interior, which is relatively slim. It options a beautiful, sweeping roofline with a rear window that reminds us a bit of the E-type coupe. The roof panel is obtainable either as aluminum or panoramic glass, that adds concerning seven pounds. Weight, especially in the roof, could be a major perform­ance killer. It’s no stripped-down Porsche GT3 RS, this automotive.

But the biggest visual payoff is at the rear, due in part to the wonderful absence of a spoiler—a minimum of, a comprehensible one. When the car exceeds 70 mph, an air deflector nesting within the tapered shut-line rises to cut back carry by a claimed 265 pounds. It retracts once more once you impede.

Besides its silhouette and rear end, it is the R coupe’s precise driving dynamics that distinguish it from the high roadster version, the Jaguar F-type V-eight S. Thank the automobile’s very rigid aluminum unibody. Hydroformed aluminum beams that sweep up the A-pillars, along the roof edges, and back to the beltline replace the structural contribution of traditional B-pillars. Cross asserts that the Jaguar F-type coupe is the most torsionally rigid production automotive Jaguar has ever designed.

Its extraordinary rigidity enables the R coupe’s sharp steering and sensitive adaptive dampers, that respond to road-surface changes every 0.5 second. The web effect for the driving force: detailed data on road conditions with no need for hyper-stiff springs and shocks.

The direct-injected and supercharged 5.zero-liter V-eight comes with 55 additional horsepower than the V-eight S roadster for a total of 550 horses at 6500 rpm, simply a hair a lot of than Jag’s 1992–1994 XJ220 superflop. In the F coupe, that’s enough stonk to push the car over 186 mph. A higher prime speed would need more durable tires, so to save lots of prices, Jaguar engineers limited the

Ford announcing “major news” for this Friday

The North American based automaker Ford is planning to make a “major Ford Performance news announcement” this weekend, at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Ford isn’t really looking forward towards telling us what this “major news” will be before this weekend but rumor has it that the performance division of the company will pull the wraps off a racing version of the new GT supercar. The vehicle in question has already begun testing in Canada, last month, and it is expected to be quite different than its road legal brother and to receive an updated and more aerodynamic exterior design, along with a stripped out interior and the 3.5 liter V6 engine under its hood.

At this point, we don’t even know what the official output of the new Ford GT generation is but according to a recent report, the supercar should be producing at least 600 HP (515 kW) from a 3.5 liter twin turbo V6 EcoBoost engine. Besides the smaller and more powerful unit, Ford has also updated the supercar with forged aluminum wheels, with carbon ceramic rotors signed by Brembo, with active aerodynamics, variable damping, four distinct driving modes, the Normal, Sport, Track and Wet, an advanced traction system, stability control programs and so on. Additional details on the new Ford GT racer or on its road-legal brother are limited at this time.

Pickup sales soar, thanks largely to GM

Automakers enjoyed a spectacular run in May as sales totaled 1,634,952 light vehicles, the most ever recorded for the month. Again, compact cross-overs such as the Honda CR-V and Chevy Equinox drew hordes of buyers.

But there's another pocket of strength, too: pickups, both big and small, as lower-priced compact trucks bring suburban cowboys back into the showroom.

Pickup sales rose 8.0 percent in May to 220,010. That's pretty good in a market up 1.6 percent, but it's especially impressive because it came amid a down month for the perennial top seller, the Ford F series. Take out Ford, and pickup sales were up 17 percent in May.

F-series sales fell 9.7 percent to 61,870 trucks as snags in production of the aluminum-bodied F-150 compounded dealer inventory shortages.

Elsewhere, however, the segment piled up milestones. Chevrolet Silverado sales rose 11 percent to 51,602 -- making for the truck's second-strongest month since December 2007.

The Toyota Tundra had its best May since 2008. And now that they are back in the picture, the Chevy Colorado had its best month since August 2006 and the GMC Canyon its best since July 2005.

"There's a lot of compelling product in the pickup category, and consumers are clearly responding," said Jessica Caldwell, a senior analyst at www...

                                            


May was a strong month for Fiat Chrysler, American Honda, General Motors, Kia and Subaru -- all of them grew U.S. sales. In contrast, Ford Motor Co., Nissan North America, Toyota Motor Sales and Hyundai fell.

Overall, the industry enjoyed the strongest sales pace in nearly a decade. The seasonally adjusted annual sales rate surged to 17.78 million from 16.52 million in April and 16.73 million in May 2014. That's the highest mark since the Detroit 3's employee-pricing deals drove a SAAR of 20.64 million in July 2005.

Pickup sales, of course, are benefiting from moderate gasoline prices and low interest rates that keep monthly payments for big-ticket trucks in affordable ranges. But one of the biggest and most surprising factors is the reincarnation of the compact pickup segment.

Not long ago, it seemed small pickups were fading away. The Dodge Dakota and Ford Ranger were dropped. GM stopped making the Colorado and Canyon.

But GM launched all-new models late last year, and sales are surging. GM sold 8,881 Colorados last month.

"They're just flying out of here," said Sam Pilato, a partner in Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, Fla. "We have less than a 10-day supply. Colorado is our No. 1 inventory anxiety right now."

The Toyota Tacoma also had a strong month: Its sales rose 26 percent to 17,520. Total compact pickup sales increased 69 percent to 34,741.

Analysts noted that smaller pickups play at a much lower price point than full-size pickups, with base prices typically starting anywhere from $8,000 to $15,000 below those of larger trucks. As a result, the smaller trucks appear to be luring different types of consumers rather than eating into sales of full-size pickups. The suburban cowboys who just like driving pickups for personal use are coming back to the smaller trucks, analysts said.

Pilato said a good number of buyers are trading in sedans for Colorados. "We're getting personal-use buyers," he said. "We're getting millennials."

Ford, meanwhile, is scrambling to boost production of its aluminum truck. One of two F-150 plants is in its final month of ramping up production, and a shortage of high-strength steel frames built by a supplier in Kentucky has slowed output at both plants.

The frame shortage has limited supplies further, forcing Ford to cancel some overtime shifts and send workers home early on multiple occasions in the past few months.

"If you think about all the complexity, cab types and bed sizes, and take that across 3,000 dealers ... that's going to limit our opportunities in the market," Ford's U.S. marketing, sales and service chief, Mark LaNeve, said in a conference call last week. "May was the low point, and it gets better every month from there."

LaNeve said the F-150 ramp-up plan called for inventories to hit their lowest levels in May. Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, also said in an April 30 interview that May was projected to be a low point for availability of the truck.

Facing tight inventories, Ford chose not to participate in Memorial Day-themed sales, LaNeve said.

"We feel good about our number given those constraints," LaNeve said.

"Later this year, we're going to really be able to run at the market with full availability."

Mercedes' new E class will offer automated driving at highway speeds

MUNICH (Bloomberg) -- Drivers of Mercedes-Benz's next-generation E class will have to get used to a startling feeling: the steering wheel moving in their hands as it pilots highways and country roads by itself.

What has so far only been shown in test situations will be available as of about March next year, when Daimler’s new model goes on sale. The technology packing the vehicle shows how quickly automated driving systems have advanced since 1998, when the Mercedes S class first featured cruise control that could adjust its speed to follow a car in front.

"Innovations in this area are coming thick and fast," Thomas Weber, Daimler's head of development, said in his office in Sindelfingen, near Stuttgart. "While we don't want to feed wrong expectations such as sleeping in the car, autonomous driving is set to become a reality much more quickly than the public thinks."

Self-driving systems are among many areas in which Mercedes is working to gain an edge on rivals Audi and BMW. Currently No. 3 in luxury-car sales, Daimler's Mercedes brand is fighting to take the lead in the segment by 2020.

It's also testing the limits of what's allowed under current regulations, which in most places require the driver to be in a position to control the vehicle at all times.

The E class, which competes with the BMW 5 series, Audi A6 and Lexus GS, is Mercedes' mainstay luxury sedan. Offering options more advanced than those in the flagship S class shows how much Daimler is raising the stakes in the battle to reclaim the top spot in premium car sales. Audi has already sent an unmanned RS7 around a track at racing speeds.

Sensors assist

On a drive last week on highways and country roads in southern Germany near where the E class is built, the car's sensors and cameras smoothly kept it in the middle of the lane. It navigated around generous bends in the road and automatically adjusted the speed according to street signs. While tree shadows and temporary signs at big construction sites sometimes confused the system, it managed dark tunnels and operated to a top speed of 130kph (80 mph). Though nerve-racking at first, the effect was eventually relaxing and comforting. Sharper turns, while technically possible, aren't part of its repertoire yet, Weber said.

If the car detects that the driver doesn't have his hands on the steering wheel, the steering aid system first switches on a warning light, then beeps, then turns itself off, forcing the driver to retake the wheel. The experience is interactive enough to prevent the driver from zoning out.

Technology like this is moving faster than the laws of the road can keep up, said Wolfgang Bernhart, an automotive expert at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. The legal framework will eventually have to allow customers to let go of the wheel to check emails or read the newspaper, he said. "If that's not the case, these features will be a hard sell," Bernhart said.

Popular options

The top-of-the-line S class already on the market isn't quite as smart as Daimler says the new E class will be. Still, it can take over in stop-and-go traffic as fast as 60kph and prevent a lane change when another vehicle is in its blind spot. The options are popular: More than 90 percent of S-class buyers in Germany add the 2,250 euro package, Daimler said.

In addition to making highway driving simpler, the new E-class's automated systems are designed to help prevent crashes. In a simulation of a sudden highway traffic jam at Daimler's test site, the car screeched to a halt inches away from a dummy after hurtling toward it at 90kph. Several automotive generations into the future, the steering wheel might become optional.

Daimler's F015 luxury concept car, shown at the Detroit auto show in January, had swivel seats so driver and passengers could face each other for a chat. How quickly this vision becomes reality depends on how quickly carmakers, legislators and insurers can find legal answers to the question of who's responsible in a crash and solve the moral riddle of how to tell a car what to hit in an unavoidable collision.
