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.
