Luxury auto brand Jaguar recently unveiled their newest two-seat convertible sports car, the 2013 F-TYPE, at the Paris Motor Show. As the company's first two-seater since the iconic E-TYPE was launched more than 50 years ago, this stunning car displays a far more aggressive design than previous models but is still very recognizable as a Jaguar. Set for a Summer 2013 release, the F-TYPE features a front-engine, rear-wheel drive, and a lightweight aluminum body that allows it to reach high-performance speeds.



The company designed the F-TYPE to focus on "driver involvement and sporting performance", which is reflected in the cockpit layout that resembles a fighter plane and the SportShift selector (which controls the eight-speed transmission) that's shaped like a joystick. All of the controls are ergonomically grouped by each function, making them easy to access and use.

One neat feature is that the air vents found on the dashboard will only deploy when the driver tells them to, meaning that until you need air conditioning, the vents will stay out of sight. Without the vents constantly out, the interior line of the car won't be broken unless necessary. There's also a grab handle that "sweeps down the center console on the passenger side, delineating it from the driver's position." The handle gives the cockpit an interesting asymmetric layout and having something for your passenger to hold onto may come in handy when you speed around those perilous corners at 186 mph.
