If you want a new Jaguar F-Type, you won’t get one until the end of 2013

The new Jaguar F-Type only went on sale officially in April 2013, but production is already sold out until the end of 2013.
Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar’s Global Brand Director, has confirmed to Automotive News that the new F-Type is already selling strongly, despite only going on sale a month ago, and the F-Type is sold out for at least the next six months. “Customers who order the car now will be lucky to get one by the end of this year”, he said.
It’s a very promising start for a new sports car that ended up arriving at a much higher price than we expected, with prices aimed more at the heart of the Porsche 911, rather than the Cayman as we expected, and even an entry-level F-Type with the 340PS will cost you the best part of £60k and the V8S – for now, at least, the top of the tree – starting at £80k and heading perilously close to £100k if you trouble the options list to any great degree.
And this is just the start for the F-Type, as we’re expecting Jaguar to reveal the F-Type Coupe before too long and a more potent F-Type R – probably with something around 550bhp – on its way before long too.
Maybe Jaguar will have to find a way to build even more F-Types than they planned?

Pictures don’t do the car justice. I drove one two weeks ago, What a beauty!

I read that they are looking at a GT3 version with 600bhp in the future. Now that would be an amazing car.
Is the F-type designed to have AWD?
Cars UK says
Apparently, the F-Type is able to accommodate a 4WD setup but Jaguar will only make it if there’s a demand. For what it’s worth, we never buy the ‘no demand’ for 4WD, especially in the UK, as it’s a chicken and egg thing – few car makers offer 4WD here (Jaguar included) but if they did they would create the demand.
But it seems all but certain 4WD will happen if the power on offer in the F-Type starts getting up towards 600bhp. But at the moment, we think, only the V6 S/C can take the 4WD setup, so how much power can Jag get from that engine?
