WASHINGTON – Jaguar is bringing out its first sports car in 50 years.

Mashable reports the F- TYPE model is a two-seater with hidden door handles, GPS navigation and smartphone connectivity.

The sports car can go 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and starts at $69,000. Eighty-five percent of the car’s body is made from recyclable material.

If that sounds like something you might be interested in, Mashable says Jaguar is running a social media campaign enticing people to tweet, Instagram and create Vine videos about why they should be able to take the F-TYPE for a test drive.

Winners will get access to the car for a day and get a celebrity passenger.
