Production of the Jaguar F-Type started in 2013, so the car I saw was likely one of the first in China. It has a temporary license plate registration behind the window of the black convertible top. The pop-up rear spoiler is raised for extra racyness.
The Jaguar F-Type was officially sold in China. The 3.0 model was powered by a 3.0 liter supercharged V6 engine, mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It had an output of 335 hp and 450 Nm, good for a 260 km/h top speed and 0-100 in 5.3 seconds. It was very expensive, with a base price of 848.000 yuan. But that was still ‘affordable’ compared to the 5.0 V8 version of the convertible, which sold for 1.49 million (!) yuan.
That was a lot of money for China in 2014, and open-top cars have never been very popular, so the F-Type Convertible has always been a rare car on the road. Note the Volkswagen Santana 3000 taxis in the background. These are all gone now, replaced by EVs. The Jaguar F-Type is still in production today, powered by a 2.0 turbo, a 3.0 supercharger, or a 5.0 V8 supercharger.
