Finally Driving The NEW Jaguar F-Type! [Is It Better Or Worse?]

  • 3 years after I sold my beloved F-Type R, I finally got the chance to check out Jaguar's new and apparently improved version!
    From Jaguar:
    The new Jaguar
    F-TYPE looks more
    beautiful than ever
    and embodies Jaguar design
    DNA in its purest form. The
    two-seat sports car offers a
    perfect balance of performance
    and driver reward with an
    even more muscular, assertive design and a cabin defined by
    rich, luxurious materials and
    beautiful details.
    The range of powerful,
    responsive engines includes
    four-, six- and eight-cylinder
    options*, all matched to eight speed
    Quickshift transmissions
    with full manual control using
    either the SportShift gear
    selector or the steering
    wheel-mounted paddles.
    The new 450PS supercharged
    V8 has been developed to
    offer exploitable and rewarding
    performance - its maximum
    torque of 580Nm being
    generated from just 2,500rpm. It
    is offered with a choice of
    all-wheel drive and - for purists -
    rear-wheel drive. Both versions
    can accelerate from 0-60mph in
    just 4.4 seconds, and reach a
    maximum speed of 177mph.
    Taking all of the learning
    accrued from the development
    of the limited-edition, 200mph
    Jaguar XE SV Project 8, the
    Quickshift transmissions in
    both the new F-TYPE R and
    the 450PS V8 models have
    been meticulously recalibrated
    for a more engaging driving
    experience. The new F-TYPE R
    specifically offers even faster,
    crisper gear changes when the
    driver commands shifts manually
    via the steering wheel-mounted
    paddles or the SportShift gear
    s elector. Both upshifts and
    downshifts are more immediate
    and give an even more
    connected and responsive feel.

      We know jags are maybe not the most technically advanced, maybe a little behind the Germans. However in a world of identikit cars, due to safety legislation etc. Jags remain distinctive and you know its a jag and they are British.... I think they remain a cool and proper car choice 👍

      I think they will achieve more success if they offer a bit more performance, the are offering a 2 ltr throughout the line up. They must consider offering a performance version of xe with a inline six competing with bmw M3, Audi rs5, merc c. Also add a 3.8 v8 to their xf to compete with m5,s8 and e63s amg.
      Ps I know about the project 8 being a competition to the m3 but it is limited in number

    In my opinion I reckon you choose the best version of the bunch, in reality you really don't need more than 450bhp for a GT car and AWD just gives a good all season car. Like the japonese Jaguar knew were to improve the car on different aspects and the result it's very good. Nice one for reviewing this version.

    It almost sounds as good as my '15 F-Type S. Sorry, I love the V8, but the V6 was the sweet spot of the range and sounds incredible. I don't like the new front end. The rear is nice, and the updated infotainment is welcomed. Losing the "sillyness" in character to me is the greatest loss. It's what puts a smile on my face every time I drive my Jaaaaaag.

    Sam... great to see you in Monterey last year. If you make it back to the States and want to have a go in a 550hp Jag... feel free to take a spin in my XKR-S GT. I know you drove the red one there a while back in traffic... try this one in the hills of TN just south of Nashville.

    New F-type is nice, but would love to see a Project 7 in the garage at some point. So much heritage!

    Still not sold on that updated front end... definitely prefer the previous design but great video as always Sam🙌

    I’ve never been in an f-type so no comparison on how mic’s pick sound up. My dad and I saw a v8 when we were driving back to his house and he was like “I want that car - it’s stunning!” He couldn’t believe the noise was coming from the same car!

    I think if this would be my only car, I'd have the new one. Still sounds really good, looks good (i mean, imagine it in a dark green metallic with espresso brown seats) and maybe a bit more civilized and usable on a daily basis.

    Can't believe how elegant this F-Type looks!
