We first heard the rumors last week, but today, Jaguar confirmed plans to offer a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 alongside its new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in the upcoming F-Type sports car.
We still do not know the performance specifications of the F-Type's force-fed V8, but it will likely be one or perhaps even both versions of the 5.0-liter unit offered by Jaguar.

Just last week, Jaguar announced that its upcoming F-Type roadster would receive a tweaked version of the company's new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 pumping out 375hp (380PS) and 460Nm (339 lb-ft) of peak torque.
While the British automaker has made no mention (yet) of any other powertrain being offered in the F-Type, Edmund's InsideLine is reporting that a "very reliable source" told them that the car will also be available with Jaguar's 5.0-liter V8.

On the occasion of the Auto China 2012 in Beijing, Jaguar announced the introduction of two new force-fed gasoline engines, including a supercharged V6 that will find its way under the hood of the upcoming F-Type roadster.
The first engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol derived from the Range Rover Evoque that will be offered in both the XF and XJ saloons replacing the existing naturally-aspirated Jaguar 3.0-litre AJV6 engine from this summer.

As pointed out in the video by former F1 driver and commentator Martin Brundle, it's been a long time since Jaguar had a new two-seater sports car in its range – more than 50 years if you start counting from the presentation of the legendary E-Type in 1961, around 20 years if you take into consideration the limited production XJR-15 and XJ220 supercars.
Jaguar's new proposal goes by the name F-Type and it is based on last year's warmly received C-X16 concept coupe. Even though it will launch as a roadster model, a coupe will follow later on.

Jaguar is moving like a cheetah with the development of its new sports car model that was teased at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show through the C-X16 Concept study.

"We showed the C-X16 concept in September 2011, and the reaction to it has been so positive that we've accelerated our development of an all-new Jaguar sports car," commented Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar Global Brand Director.
