The object
Ian Callum designed the Jaguar F-Type Coupé, a compact production sports car that translated Jaguar's long-hood proportions into a modern aluminum-bodied form. Its distinct shape became the visual centrepiece of Jaguar's 2010s revival and remains one of the marque's most recognizable recent road-car designs.
