Redline Links We Like: Astra, WRX, Forester

March 12, 2018May 9, 2020 Peter Anderson67, forester, holden, jaguar, opel, sti, subaru, wrx0 comment

Links We Like is a new series we’ll do every week or so to highlight more of my writing outside of The Redline as well as from other sites that are worth a look. Most of these are normal cars that we actually buy, so there’s an added bonus of genuine consumer information. CarsGuide.com.au So, from me, there’s my review of the Holden Astra R+ at CarsGuide.com.au, a nice little car that actually handles pretty well. If you want to see some lunatic commenters, there’s my review of the Subaru…

New Electric Jaguar I-Pace is Fast and Cool

March 2, 2018June 9, 2018 Peter Anderson108, 67, electric, Fast Cars, I-pace, jaguar0 comment

Here’s a thing – the new Jaguar I-Pace is fast. Like really fast. And I reckon Tesla should watch out because not only will the I-Pace see off a Model X 100D, it looks better and is bound to be built better. Rolling down the line at Austria’s Magna-Steyr – alongside E-Pace – the I is Jaguar’s game-changer. Jaguar I-Pace The I-Pace feels like it has been a long time coming, but it’s hugely important. It’s not just important to Jaguar, but to the whole industry. It’s the first…

The Jaguar D-Type Returns

February 7, 2018February 9, 2018 Peter Anderson67, classic, convertible, d-type, jaguar, xk0 comment

The Jaguar D-Type Returns Hot on the heels of the “new” E-Types and Land Rover Defender Works V8, the British company is once again putting an old-stager back into production – the D-Type. If you missed the oddball Grand Tour episode which pitted the D-Type against, of all things, a Civic Type R, this is news. But there’s more to it than Clarkson and company’s quick summary of the situation. The planned production run for the D-Type was 100 cars but production came to a halt at 75. This new run…

Lister Returns To The Road With Lister Thunder

February 1, 2018December 6, 2022 Peter Anderson67, coupe, f-type, jaguar, lister, performance cars, thunder0 comment

Jaguar F-Type-based Lister Thunder hits the road. Britain really knows how to do sports cars of a particular type. Then another British company takes that sports car and turns it into a total nutter. Lister is just such a company and almost thirty years since the mad 7.0-litre V12 XJS called the Lister Le Mans, they’re back. The new car is a called Thunder. That’s appropriate before they throw a single spanner at the supercharged V8 F-Pace because as we discovered in our SVR review, that engine is possibly the…

Jaguar F-Type SVR Review

January 14, 2018June 11, 2018 Peter Anderson67, f-type, jaguar, svr0 comment

Jaguar F-Type SVR Jaguar’s F-Type SVR feels like it’s the end of a story fifty-odd years in the making. With the incredibly beauty of Ian Callum’s roadster crammed with go-faster goodness from Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO team, it feels like it’s full of 1950s Le Mans excitement. The F-Type SVR is one of the fastest Jags ever put on the road and we had time on some fantastic winding roads to stretch its claws. History The F-Type arrived in 2013, based on the rather successful XK. The XK was also…

Frankfurt 2017: Jaguar Announces I-PACE eTrophy

September 14, 2017May 27, 2018 Peter Anderson67, electric, I-pace, ipace, jaguar0 comment

Jaguar Announces I-PACE eTrophy The all-electric I-Pace hasn’t hit the roads yet, but already Jaguar has announced the i-Pace eTrophy. Slightly cringeworthy name aside, the racing series will support Formula E races. The British brand was the first to get themselves a place in the electric open-wheeler series which is growing in popularity. What’s an I-Pace? SUVs aren’t really The Redline’s thing, so it’s worth having a quick trip down Jaguar’s high-riding product line. The company’s first SUV was the F-Pace, which went completely ballistic, selling over 80,000 units in…
