Although it’s been a difficult year for the motoring industry with the pandemic-era world doing a lot less driving, luxurious car brands have still managed to excite petrolheads with a few new model launches in 2020, albeit mostly through digital rather than physical events.
Jaguar presented the new F-Type sports car with award-winning enhanced design and technology, plus this model is eco-friendlier with filters to reduce emissions. And when we talk about sports car-making mastery, we can’t leave out Ferrari who showed off the new version of SF90 Stradale, the so-called SF90 Spider, thrilling sport cars lovers with its open top.

The new two-seat Jaguar F-Type has arrived, offering a more muscular, assertive design and a cabin defined by luxurious materials and beautiful details.
The range of powerful, responsive engines includes four- and eight-cylinder options, all matched to eight-speed Quickshift transmissions with full manual control using either the Sportshift gear selector or steering wheel-mounted paddles.
The new F-Type offers more driver-focused technology, including a reconfigurable, high-definition, 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display, Touch Pro infotainment system with Apple CarPlay as standard and software-over-the-air functionality so future software updates can be made at the customer’s convenience. Two superb Meridian sound systems also offer enhanced sound reproduction.
On top of that, efficient, close-coupled particulate filters reduce emissions.
