(MAHWAH, N.J.) ‑ November 27, 2012 ‑ Jaguar
Land Rover celebrated the U.S. arrival of the Jaguar F‑TYPE and the
all‑new Land Rover Range Rover tonight at a special VIP preview
with a dynamic reveal of both models at Paramount Pictures Studios
in Los Angeles. Guests, including Damian Lewis (Homeland), Diego
Klattenhoff (Homeland), Michael Cudlitz (Southland), Martyn
Bullard, Kathryn Ireland and Shannyn Sossamon, were among the first
to view the newest additions to the luxurious lineups offered by
both brands.
The new Jaguar F‑TYPE represents a return to the company's
heart: a two‑seat, convertible sports car focused on delivering
performance, agility and maximum driver engagement. The F‑TYPE is a
continuation of a sporting bloodline that stretches back more than
75 years and encompasses a heritage of beautiful, thrilling and
desirable cars. The F‑TYPE was revealed in Paris at the Musee Rodin
in September 2012.
The all‑new Land Rover Range Rover is the world's first SUV
with a lightweight all‑aluminum body. The new Range Rover takes the
capabilities of the brand's flagship to a new level, with even
greater luxury and refinement, enhanced performance and handling on
all terrains, and significant advances in sustainability. Designed
and engineered at Land Rover's development centers in the UK, the
new Range Rover will be produced in a state‑of‑the‑art new
low‑energy manufacturing facility at Solihull, UK. Over $592
million has been invested in the Solihull plant to create the
world's largest aluminum body shop. The all‑new Land Rover Range
Rover was first revealed in September at the Royal Ballet School in
London.
"Southern California is a leading market in the U.S. for both
Jaguar and Land Rover, so Los Angeles is the ideal city to host the
arrival of the Jaguar F‑TYPE and the all‑new Land Rover Range
Rover, " said Andy Goss, President, Jaguar Land Rover North
America. "Both of these vehicles encompass the luxury and
sophistication that defines this trend‑setting city."
Making its U.S. Auto Show Debut in Los Angeles is the all‑new
2013 Land Rover Range Rover. The world's first SUV with a
lightweight all‑aluminum body, the new Range Rover takes the
capabilities of the marque's flagship to a new level, with greater
luxury and refinement. The U.S. specification vehicle with the
naturally‑aspirated 5‑liter V8 will be approximately 700lbs lighter
than the outgoing equivalent. This new aluminum platform delivers
significant enhancements in performance and agility, along with an
improvement in fuel economy and reduction in CO2 emissions. The new
Range Rover goes on sale in December, 2012, starting at
$83,5001.
Making its U.S. Auto Show Debut in Los Angeles is the 2014
Jaguar F‑TYPE, displayed for the first time with the Black Pack
(high gloss black body trim). An all‑new two‑seat soft‑top
convertible sports car built on a front‑engine; lightweight
aluminum architecture with rear‑wheel drive, Jaguar has engineered
the F‑TYPE to be a true high‑performance sports car. The Jaguar
F‑TYPE combines low vehicle weight (starting at 3,521 pounds), high
power (340hp, 380hp and 495hp versions) and superb aerodynamics to
achieve a pure sports car experience, yet with Jaguar elegance.
F‑TYPE goes on sale in early summer, 2013, starting at
$69,0002.
The all‑new Land Rover Range Rover and the Jaguar F‑TYPE will
be on display for consumers throughout the duration of the 2012 Los
Angeles International Auto Show ‑ Nov. 30 through Dec.
9.
