The classic sports car formula isn’t set for retirement just yet according to Jaguar design director, Ian Callum, who suggested that, despite moderate sales, the brand’s F-Type range would have a successor.
Speaking with Automotive News in the US, Callum declared: "We are going to do another range of sports cars eventually," though didn’t give a timeline as to when the next-generation F-Type might appear.
In line with the Jaguar Land Rover group’s recent announcement that every new vehicle from the company will feature some form of electrification from 2020, JLR’s North American CEO Joe Eberhardt confirmed that the F-Type will also be in line for electric assistance in the future.
Although unclear on the level of electrification earmarked for the next F-Type, Eberhardt reiterated that a full spectrum of mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles were under development across the Jaguar and Land Rover brands.
