Jaguar will reveal the F-Type facelift on Monday 2 December – and a teaser video has hinted that the launch event could include a major stunt.

The new sportscar will gain refreshed styling and upgraded technology and has already been seen testing in camouflage livery in recent weeks.

Jaguar confirmed the December 2 launch date with a short video on social media, which also said the event would be held 'in partnership with Hot Wheels'. The teaser video features a Hot Wheels track loop, suggesting the new F-Type could undertake a similar stunt in reality.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has previously attempted a number of stunts and world records at launch events. The Jaguar F-Pace SUV set a world record for the widest loop in a car and the Jaguar E-Pace set a world record for the longest barrel roll by a production car. The Land Rover Discovery was launched by driving onto the world's largest Lego structure: a recreation of London's Tower Bridge.

The most recent spy shots of the F-Type, taken near JLR's technical HQ in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England show the restyled front end more clearly, with a new clamshell bonnet, a more prominent grille, and slim, angular LED headlights mounted lower down the nose.

The rear retains the same vertical boot lid but gets new wraparound tail-lights and a reshaped bumper. A quick glimpse at the interior doesn't reveal much, but it looks like the infotainment has moved on a generation, while the rotary climate control display remains.

Much of the more advanced technology and infotainment features from the electric I-Pace and updated XE are expected to make their way into the F-Type facelift. That means new digital dials, a larger and more feature-laden touchscreen, and substantial upgrades to its materials.

JLR is now phasing out its long-running supercharged V6 in favour of a new turbocharged and hybridised straight-six motor, and the 2020 F-Type will benefit from this more efficient powertrain. However, the turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged V8 engines should be carried over to the new car with limited changes. Indeed, this prototype registers as a 5.0-litre V8, putting paid to rumours JLR would bring in a BMW-sourced 4.4-litre unit.

What remains unclear is whether the new F-Type will continue to offer a manual gearbox. The current V6 is still offered with one in the UK, although it has reportedly been removed from sale in the US. Regardless, manual versions account for a tiny fraction of F-Type's sales.

In India, the F-Type that’s available (in coupé and convertible guise) comes with two engine options – the 300hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and the full-fat 5.0-litre V8 mill that produces 550hp in ‘standard’ form and 575hp in SVR form. The price of the India-spec F-Type ranges between Rs 90.90 lakh and Rs 2.80 crore (ex-showroom, pan-India).

While there is no word on when this 2020 F-Type facelift will come to India, the British brand will launch the facelift for its rival to the BMW 3 Series – the XE – on December 4.

What do you folks think of the facelift? Do the changes on the front and back work with the rest of the design? The other changes are relatively minor, the interior gets the new JLR infotainment system shared across the range, new alloys, new logos/trim pieces galore.

The F-Type gets a new wide grille with air vents on either side, a clamshell bonnet with air vents and side fender vents. The redesigned LED headlights get J-shaped daytime running lights. At the rear, the sports car gets a slightly tweaked tail light and quad tail pipes. It rides on 10-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels. On the inside, the F-Type gets a 12.3-inch reconfigurable digital instrument cluster.

Powering the F-Type is a choice of three engines paired to an 8-speed transmission. The engine options include a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 296 BHP and 400 Nm, a 3.0-litre V6 producing 375 BHP and 460 Nm and a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 in two states of tune - 444 BHP and 567 BHP. The four-cylinder engine is available only with rear-wheel drive while the 567 BHP V8 is available only with all-wheel drive. The V6 and the 444 BHP V8 come with rear-wheel drive as well as all-wheel drive.

Thanks. I think the F type is absolutely gorgeous! Really nice to drive as well. But when you are as tall as me, it is very cramped.
