Our spy photographers appear to have grabbed the first glimpse at Jaguar’s upcoming [F-Type R](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jaguar f-type). Judging by the not-so-subtle “F” camouflage and quad exhaust outlets, odds are this is the more high-strung version of the next convertible from Jaguar. What exactly is under the hood? That remains to be seen, though early reports suggest its something other than the tried-and-true blown 5.0-liter V8 we’ve come to know and love. The base F-Type will get along with a turbocharged V6, and the brawnier R model will likely bow with something packing eight cylinders and power figures in the neighborhood of 500 horsepower.
So, when can we get our hands on this creation? A final launch date is murky at best, though there is some indication Jaguar could hold onto the V8 F-Type until later in the model’s lifecycle, but doesn’t quite dovetail with the fact that Jaguar is already road-testing the machine. Chances are we’ll see the F-Type R earlier than expected.Supercharged Jaguar F-Type R spotted testing? originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 16 May 2012 18:59:00 EST.
