This, ladies and gents, is another Jaguar F-Type. It is a new variant which now means there are now 20 yes, twenty engine, transmission and body style permutations of F-Type to choose from.Why is this one notable? Because it"s the cheapest, starting at 49,900. But it is also the most engine-deficient, with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine powering the rear wheels.Yes. An engine not unlike one you"ll find in rep-spec XE saloons now powers Jag"s coupe and roadster. Thought the F-Type rivalled the 911? Well now it"s going for the newly four-cylinder Boxster and Cayman, too.You want stats, naturally. With the aid of a turbocharger a break from every other, supercharged F-Type peak power is 295bhp, and peak torque a neatly matching 295lb ft. Those are 40bhp and 37lb ft deficits on the near- 2,500 pricier F-Type V6 340PS, the old entry point to F ownership. This car supplements the V6, it must be noted, and doesn"t replace it.The four-cylinder"s top speed is 155mph (down 7mph) and the 0-62mph time 5.4secs (up a mere 0.1sec). But perhaps the most relevant stats are its considerably more worthy 39.2mpg and 163g/km of CO2 emissions, the latter knocking the F down a couple of tax bands. Though given the recent change in rules, you"re still going to be paying 450 a year
