(lifepr) (Walddorfhäslach, 20.07.2018) In 2013, Jaguar presented the F-Type, a roadster that was as sports-minded as it was elegant and that calls up reminiscences of the legendary 1960s E-Type not only with its name, but also with its vehicle concept. Of course, this sports car with up to 575 HP is also ideal for use as a basis vehicle for tuning and customizing. What the result can look like is shown by the wheel specialists at Barracuda Racing Wheels, who collaborated with Piecha Tuning to create this example.

Particularly noticeable is the new set of wheels, whose dark, PureSports matte black finish distinctly sets it apart from the red paint job on the British convertible. These are Barracuda Karizzma rims with the Y spoke that invokes racing. They are 9x20” (449 euros) on the front axle and 10.5x20” (479 euros) in the rear. The tires measure 255/35 ZR20 and 295/30 ZR20. No adjustments to the body were necessary to install this wheel and tire combination. What is more, the parts come with a certificate that guarantees easy registration of the wheels.

A KW suspension set (849 euros) lowers the body in the front by 30 millimeters and in the rear by 25 millimeters. What is more, Piecha Tuning installed many add-on parts from its RSR range: a front spoiler lip (1,340 euros), side rocker panels (1,780 euros) and a diffuser with the look of the F-Type V8 models (1,547 euros). Added to these are a rear spoiler lip (476 euros), a valve exhaust system with four 90-millimeter tailpipes (3,680 euros) and a control module with extended functionality for opening the top.
