捷豹近日宣布,2016款F-Type将提供由捷豹和ZF开发的六速手动变速器。在本月初，有报道称F-Type将配备全驱系统，现在车厂又证实该车将提供手动变速箱。不过，该变速箱只提供给后轮驱动且搭载3.0升V6引擎，功率为340和380马力的版本。该变速箱采用轻质铝合金箱体和半干油底壳润滑系统以提升效率。F-Type R轿跑车和敞篷车将标配全驱系统，而在搭载380马力V6引擎F-Type S轿跑车和敞篷车上，全驱系统则为选装件。另外，捷豹宣布，2016款车型将不再采用液压助力转向，而是替代以电子助力转向，这有助于进一步降低油耗和二氧化碳排放量。2016款F-Type其他变化包括标配700瓦Meridian环绕音响，SiriusXM卫星收音机，无钥匙进入，14向电动可调座椅，全景天窗，而F-Type R轿跑车还可提供电动尾门。F-Type S还可提供驾驶员选择主动排气系统，平底方向盘和动态驾驶模式。

 

2016 Jaguar F-Type gains six-speed ZF manual gearbox on select versions

Jaguar has announced the 2016 F-Type will be offered with a six-speed manual transmission developed in collaboration with ZF.

 

Earlier this month we found out the F-Type will get an all-wheel drive system and now Jaguar has confirmed the rumors about the availability of a manual gearbox. However, it will be offered only on the rear-wheel drive versions equipped with the V6 3.0-liter engine in both 340 HP & 380 HP flavors. The gearbox benefits from a lightweight aluminum alloy casing and has a semi-dry sump lubrication system for improved efficiency.

 

As for the aforementioned AWD system, it will be standard on the F-Type R Coupe & Convertible and optional on the 380 HP V6 F-Type S Coupe & Convertible. Moreover, Jaguar has announced the 2016MY will replace the hydraulic steering with an Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system which promises to lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

 

Other changes include the adoption of a standard 770-watt Meridian surround sound system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio & HD Radio, keyless entry and 14-way power-adjustable seats. Opt for the coupe and you also get a standard panoramic sunroof while the R Coupe gets a power tailgate. Lastly, the F-Type S models now come with a driver-selectable active exhaust, flat-bottomed race-like steering wheel and a configurable dynamic mode.
