Jaguar F-type Coupe R at the Los Angeles Motor Show 2013

Jaguar has unveiled the new 2014 F-type Coupe - the spiritual successor to the fabled Jag E-type - at a star-studded event on the eve of the Los Angeles Motor Show 2013. And the closed-top F-type coupe came with a surprise: there will be a high-performance F-type Coupe R model available at launch, boasting a Porsche-baiting 550hp. This makes it the fastest F-type to date, dispatching the benchmark 0-60mph drag race in a blistering 4.0sec.

So with a new market place potentially opening up, BMW has already appointed ‘i Geniuses’ at many of their UK dealerships to answer buyers’ question on the i3 and i8, and now they’re going a step further in a move that looks set to undermine, or even replace, BMW car salesmen (and women).
