The event featured a performance by Lana Del Rey, who dedicated a new song, "Burning Desire", to the F-type.
Shaking off Jaguar Land Rover's disappointing slowdown in sales growth last month, chief designer Ian Callum was jubilant. "I was seven when I first saw an E-type. I thought wow, that car is inspirational… This is not an E-type. It has its own character but it's very much a Jaguar," he said.
The car will be made at Jaguar Land Rover's plant in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham.
