2019 Jaguar F-Type Coupe 2.0 R Dynamic Review

February 18, 2019February 18, 2019 Peter Andersonf-type, jaguar, jaguar f-type0 comment

The Jaguar F-Type is a genuinely beautiful car. It’s much harder to do that these days, with lots of rules and regulations making life hard for designers. But Jaguars aren’t designed by people who throw their crayons in the air when things aren’t easy. It’s been around for ages, the F-Type, and is slowly evolving. Things change – the V6 manual I drove for Carsguide in 2016 is now the middle of the range. To chase more buyers, a lower entry price and emissions targets means less noise but a…

2018 Jaguar F-Type SVR Coupe

Jaguar’s awesome topless F-Type comes in hardtop form. If you really want to get moving, you want the F-Type SVR Coupe.

Jaguar F-Type SVR Review

January 14, 2018June 11, 2018 Peter Andersonf-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…
