Jaguar has always had a thing for naming its most revered sports cars after letters. It all started with the glorious Le-Mans winning C-Type in the early 1950’s followed by the Le-Mans winning D-Type of the mid ‘50s and then, the most beautiful car in the world, according to Enzo Ferrari, the E-Type of the swinging 60s. And now, finally, a whole 50 years after the first E-Type, we have the F-Type!

Hands up then, who has heard of the term ‘downsizing?’ Any takers? No? Well 'downsizing' is a term used to describe the trend for installing a very small engine in a car which translates to low running costs but improves the power output by adding a turbo or supercharger.
