Jaguar will be keeping an eye on the sales response to Porsche's new 911 Targa, with a suggestion a similar approach could be added to the F-Type line-up. Jaguar head of design, Ian Callum, told British site Auto Express an F-Type Targa is under consideration as a third model and that sketches had already been made.
“We're considering it, but it’s not definite,” Callum is cited as saying, adding that sales volume for the British brand could be a barrier to a successful business case. “The issue with the Targa is volume. If you think of Porsche, 10 per cent of its cars are Targa, 10 per cent of ours is less than theirs. You have to work out the business case but we have considered it, it’s not decided yet.”
Callum has previously revealed that a shooting brake was another iteration under consideration when the F-Type was being developed, however the chances of seeing another version of any kind may be pushed back until Jaguar clears some other projects off the to-do list. The design chief confirmed to Auto Express that work was currently under way on "three or four" vehicles, with a small sedan likely to be next, followed by the production version of the C-X17 SUV.
