Jaguar just revealed plans to unveil "an exciting design study" at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed set to take place at the end of this week. According to the first details we have on it, the model will be based on the F-Type roadster and will be driven up the Goodwood Hill by the company’s Chief Engineer, Vehicle Integrity, Mike Cross.
While these were all the official details revealed by Jaguar, we presume that this will be some kind of preview for the upcoming F-Type R version; or even better, the previously rumored 700-horsepower F-Type R-S.
It is also worthy of note that this could simply be the debut of the F-Type Coupe. However, we don’t think that Jaguar would make a huge fuss over attaching a fixed-top roof to the F-Type. Also pointing to this being the R or R-S variant is the fact that Jag will put on display three other R and R-S variants of other models, including: XFR-S, XJR and XKR-S GT.
We’ll find out soon enough!

Jaguar F-Type R
The F-Type R was caught testing just a few months after the standard F-Type version arrived on the market. The spy shots revealed that the model will feature the usual elements we have seen in all the other R models: a set of quad exhausts exits, more prominent front and rear bumpers, a new set of wheels and, of course, a sportier interior.
Under the hood, the model will use a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine pushing out about 450 horsepower - an amazing number for such a tiny car.
