Launched with three different powertrain choices, available as the V6, the V6 S and the V8 S (R for the Coupe) in U.S. showrooms, the brand-new Jaguar F-Type->ke1224 is already scheduled to receive a fourth version. Reportedly dubbed R-S, the new trim will be introduced on both the Coupe and the Roadster and will take the output of the supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 up to around 550 horsepower. That's about 50 horses more than the current range-topping model.

Word has it a lighter, Club Sport iteration is also be underway, meaning the lineup would expand to include nine models (five Coupes and four Roadsters). It may sound like a lot for a sports car->ke506 of this nature, but it appears we have yet to see the end of it.

As a new video that surfaced the Internet recently suggests, the Brits are developing yet another F-Type. But this time they aren't working on a more powerful V-8 version, but one that sports a turbocharged four-cylinder mill under the hood. Yes, that's right, Jaguar is downsizing and switching forced induction units.

Watching the video you'll notice that the Roadster in question wears an S badge, but don't let that fool you, the car's engine note is nowhere near a supercharged V-6.

Little is known about the unit powering the model spotted at Nurburgring->ke999, but we do know that Jaguar->ke39 is getting ready to introduce a new range of four-cylinder engines that will find their way into the upcoming C-X17 crossover and future Land Rover SUVs.This could even be a modified version of the Range Rover Evoque's 2.0-liter engine, which produces 240 horsepower in the SUV, but likely can hit over 300 ponies with a little extra work.
