From what we can tell by looking at these images, the F-Type Coupe looks identical to the vehicle in the patent renders right up to the mirrors (same ones used on the Roadster) and with a few negligible differences, to the C-X16 Concept as well, which in our eyes, is very positive…

These patent renderings of the F-Type coupe come courtesy of German magazine AMS. What makes us think that this could be the real thing are some details such as the production exterior mirrors, side trims and door openers.

Before we let you hear the sounds in the spy video below, we'll remind you that the 3.0-liter six-cylinder unit will be offered in two guises, with 335hp (340PS) and 375hp (380PS), while Jaguar has still not told us how much power will be generated by the V8 unit found in the flagship 'R' version.

Now, we can show you the first images of the XFR-S wearing its production body armor, which includes a newly designed front bumper with massive air vents and a lip spoiler, side skirts and a larger boot lid spoiler than the one found on the regular XFR.

So how do we know for sure that this is the F-Type R and not the base F-Type? Well, Jaguar actually made it pretty easy for us to be able to distinguish the two models.
You see, the entry-level version that will be motivated by Jaguar's new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 delivering 375hp (380PS) and 460Nm (339 lb-ft) of peak torque has two centrally mounted tail pipes, whereas the V8 model pictured here sports a pair of exhausts on either side of the rear diffuser. Simple as that.
