MTI, the exclusive agent for Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Ferrari, and Maserati in Egypt, will release Model 2015 of the Jaguar F-type Coupe soon in Egypt, said Samy Farid, head of the sales department for Jaguar and Land Rover at MTI.
The company has begun sending requests to the parent company in England to supply the new car to MTI in Egypt, according to Farid’s Tuesday statement.
MTI released the Jaguar F-Type Convertible for the first time in Egypt last March at the Cairo International Motor Show “Ottomak – Formula” in three grades. The first grade is equipped with a 3 litre engine with 340 HP, the second boasts an engine of 3 litre with 380 HP, and the third, a 5 litre engine with 495 HP.
The company also began to offer the new Range Rover Sport to the Egyptian market as well as the new Bentley Flying Spur for the first time locally.
Farid told Al-Borsa newspaper that there is a long waiting list of customers for Range Rover cars that may not receive various models until the end of December of this year, among them the Range Rover Fog. He further mentioned that the Range Rover Evoque has a waiting list extending to the end of next October.
According to Farid, the company is striving to achieve a 30% increase in sales volume by the end of this fiscal year, 31 March under the British system.
