Jaguar will reveal the F-Type Coupe at 3am GMT on 20 November 2013 at a secret location in Los Angeles.

We've been talking about the Jaguar F-Type Coupe ever since the F-Type was launched as a convertible and now the date for its reveal is set.

When I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! back in March to see the F-Type being made I asked about an F-Type coupe. " Let's get the convertible out of the way first, " was the answer.

Well, now the convertible is out of the way. It's launched, the order books are full and Castle Bromwich is working at full steam. The time is now for the Coupe and judging by this photo, and the spy shots below, it looks fantastic.

Jaguar's fast-becoming-legendary-designer Ian Callum says of the Coupe:

“The excitement generated when we revealed the C-X16 concept was terrific; so to now be on the cusp of what I can assure you will be a drama-filled reveal event in Los Angeles for F-TYPE Coupé is a very significant moment.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive reaction to F-TYPE Convertible, but for me the purity of creating a sports Coupé is a uniquely satisfying process – and I know that both visually and dynamically, F-TYPE Coupé raises the bar yet again.”


Stay tuned. Speedmonkey will bring you a full set of photos as soon as they are available.

Soooooooooooo right. The C-X16 preview is probably the prettiest modern car I've ever seen. Can't wait to see the production models on the road.

Also, rear hatch must be a conventional hatch now, and the glass roof adds or reduces weight? Do glass roofs these days require extra reinforcement on the rails, or is that not so paramount since it was built as a convertible first?
