The new Jaguar F-Type hasn’t hit the road yet – in fact very few outside Jaguar have been behind the wheel – but one has already crashed.
The new Jaguar F-Type hasn’t started to hit Jaguar showrooms yet, and very few have been driven by anyone outside Jaguar.
Jaguar have been letting a few ‘names’ loose in the F-Type for a bit of PR, like Le Mans driver Andy Wallace and Martin Brundle, but most of the ‘press’ play with the F-Type has been in the passenger seat.
But it looks like Jaguar has let an F-Type loose for a comparison test by an (as yet) unnamed publication with not quite the result they were hoping for.
It seems the F-Type – up against two other cars for a comparison test – got a bit out of shape, clipped a stone wall and got quite badly bent.
We don’t yet know who was driving (he/she may be off Jaguar’s 2013 Christmas card list) and nor which publication was running the test.
No doubt all will be revealed eventually, but if you have any info let us know in the comments.

What a mess
Oh sad?.
Ooft!?
Not the most auspicious start for the F-Type. Looks like JLR were in attendance, but had they let whoever was driving turn off the traction control?
Driver error or a problem with the F-Type?
I doubt it’s a problem with the F-type since the handling was done by Mike Cross. Rear wheel drive sports cars, with traction control off, in the wet, are a lot to handle. I’m speaking from experience on this topic.
