Castle Bromwich, UK: A Jaguar F‑TYPE Coupe can be seen bursting out of the walls of Jaguar Land Rover's Castle Bromwich manufacturing plant, celebrating the recent reveal of the new car in Los Angeles & Tokyo.
The Jaguar F‑TYPE Coupe is the most dynamically capable, performance‑focused production Jaguar ever. Its model line‑up includes the F‑TYPE R Coupe, the F‑TYPE S Coupe and the F‑TYPE Coupe.
The F‑TYPE Coupe range complements the existing 2013 'World Car Design of the Year' award‑winning F‑TYPE Convertible model line‑up of F‑TYPE, F‑TYPE S and F‑TYPE V8 S.
The F‑TYPE Coupe will be manufactured at the 112 acre Castle Bromwich plant, joining the other five Jaguar models: the all‑new F‑TYPE; the XK grand tourer; and XJ, XF and XF Sportbrake.
Over 3,000 people are employed at Castle Bromwich, which became a dedicated Jaguar factory in 1980. The site is home to some of the world's most advanced aluminium body construction facilities and almost 340 body construction robots. On site are body shops, paint and final assembly lines for all models, as well as a press shop which operates 24 hours a day.
