Jaguar F-Type Wins 2013 World Car Design of the Year
The Jaguar F-Type is undoubtedly a beautiful machine, and today at the 2013 New York Auto Show, it was announced as winner of the 2013 World Car Design of the Year award.
Also competing in the category was the 2014 Mazda6, and the Aston Martin Vanquish, both of which lost to the small Jaguar sports car.
“No design project has given me greater pleasure than the creation of the F-TYPE. It’s a project I’ve looked forward to from the moment I joined Jaguar, and it’s one that’s given my team and I great satisfaction,” said Ian Callum, director of Jaguar design.

The awards are chosen by a panel of sixty-six top-level automotive journalists from twenty-three countries around the world.
