捷豹将于2018年推出新款F-Type，距离第一代车型推出整整五年。虽然在此之前我们已经看到了该车的一些照片，但最近谍照记者还是首次在纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在测试的新款F-Type。由于车身进行了重度伪装，因此无法看清新车与老款车之间有什么不同，但有少量细节还是暴露出来。首先，新车的前大灯与老款车不同，它的内部采用了LED灯泡。另外，前格栅中间的横杠更厚，前保险杠造型更顺滑。这几乎让人联想到老款的XK。与任何一辆F-Type一样，这辆车发出的声音也非常悦耳，可以确信该车搭载了一台V8引擎。不过，V8引擎显然属于R顶级款，除了这台引擎，入门级车型则搭载四缸引擎，其竞争车型是保时捷今年发布的718。

 

Watch the facelifted Jaguar F-Type roar on the Nurburgring

A new Jaguar F-type is expected in 2018, just five years after the first-generation was launched. Though we’ve already seen a few spy shots of that upcoming model, this is the first time we're seeing it in motion – and on the Nurburgring, no less.

 

With a healthy amount of camouflage, it’s hard to tell exactly what is different from the outgoing model, but there are a few telling signs. You can distinguish the new headlights, which show off LED bulbs, the center bar in the grille is thicker, and the front bumper is smoother than the current generation. It's almost reminiscent of the outgoing XK.

 

As per any F-Type, the sound on this one is glorious, leading us to believe there’s a hefty V8 under the hood. Even though the V8 will remain a fixture in the upper-level ‘R’ trim, rumors suggest that the new F-Type could go with a smaller, four-cylinder entry-level option to compete with the Porsche 718, which was launched just this year.
