Jaguar F-Type

The Jaguar F-Type is a two-seat sports car, based on a shortened platform of the XK convertible, manufactured by Indian owned British manufacturer Jaguar Cars from 2013. It is the spiritual successor to the famous E-Type. It is also the replacement for the Jaguar XK.

The car was launched initially as a soft-top convertible, later with a coupé version launched in 2013.

C-X16 concept (2011)

The C-X16 form takes cues from Jaguar's 2010 C-X75 plug-in hybrid concept supercar, including the shape of the front grille and the wrap-around rear lights, and also has a side-hinged opening rear window reminiscent of the 1961 E-Type.

The C-X16, was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Jaguar stated that the C-X16 was their smallest car since the 1954 Jaguar XK120, at: 4,445 mm (175.0 inches) length; 2,048 mm (80.6 inches) width; 1,297 mm (51.1 inches) height.

The F-Type was developed under the project code "X152".

F-Type Convertible (2013–)

The convertible version of F-Type was first revealed in Sundance, London which was followed by a presentation at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed (with an F-Type chassis).

Jaguar

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only extant Panthera species native to the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Americas. The jaguar's present range extends from Southwestern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. Apart from a known and possibly breeding population in Arizona (southeast of Tucson) and the bootheel of New Mexico, the cat has largely been extirpated from the United States since the early 20th century.

This spotted cat most closely resembles the leopard physically, although it is usually larger and of sturdier build and its behavioral and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger. While dense rainforest is its preferred habitat, the jaguar will range across a variety of forested and open terrains. It is strongly associated with the presence of water and is notable, along with the tiger, as a feline that enjoys swimming. The jaguar is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush predator at the top of the food chain (an apex predator). It is a keystone species, playing an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and regulating the populations of the animals it hunts. The jaguar has an exceptionally powerful bite, even relative to the other big cats. This allows it to pierce the shells of armored reptiles and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal bite to the brain.

Car Throttle

Car Throttle is a British media platform company for car enthusiasts.

Founded in 2009 as a car blog by Adnan Ebrahim, the company has grown to become one of the largest car communities online and allows users to create content alongside featured editorial articles.

History

Funding

In July 2012, Car Throttle raised an undisclosed pre-seed round from London early-stage VC firm Passion Capital. In 2013, the company raised a further $550,000 from investors including Passion Capital, James Bromley (MailOnline) and Peter Read which allowed it to make its first editorial, video and engineering hires. In January 2015, Car Throttle closed a $1.6 million round led by Redalpine with participation from Blake Chandlee (Facebook's first international employee). Car Throttle is currently based in White Bear Yard, a coworking space in Clerkenwell, London for startup companies.

Content

Car Throttle creates publishing tools to allow online car enthusiasts to share their opinions on cars and car culture. Described by TechCrunch as "Buzzfeed for cars", Car Throttle follows a similar model in producing content for its website aimed at distribution on social media platforms. Unlike Buzzfeed however, the website encourages and promotes user-generated content alongside editorial pieces, and has ambition to become "a platform, not simply a top-down publisher".
