The F-Type SVR is Jaguar's pièce de résistance in the range, and the most potent of the breed. Its price is high, but so are its performance capabilities.
Jaguar makes some seriously nice cars, but without breaking the law, it's hard to unleash them on your everyday roads. This is where the Jaguar Experience comes into play. Usually open for Jaguar customers or potential buyers only, 20 lucky CarAdvice competition winners got to experience the best of Jaguar at Sandown Raceway...
Since its release, the Jaguar F-Type has sung to the sweet tune of V6 or V8 engines. Will a four-cylinder turbo dilute the sports car experience?
The Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport is undoubtedly a piece of automotive theatre. But does it have the performance chops to match its striking looks and sonorous heartbeat?
Jaguar's new F-Type four-cylinder follows in the footsteps of Porsche's Boxster and Cayman, downsizing from six cylinders to four. But, while that German duo can no longer be had with a six, the F-Type can. And an eight! So... should you consider this new four-pot entry option? Here, Tony puts that question to the test.
Read the full review here. It has almost become a landmark moment in our evolution as humans. A neat title to slot in after all that complex baby, child, teenager, adult transition stuff. The midlife crisis...
Read the article here. With 423kW of power from its 5.0-litre supercharged V8, the 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR is the fastest and most powerful production Jaguar ever. We get behind the wheel to see just how fast it is with a 0-100mph-0 run at Motorland Aragon in Spain. Have a listen to this screaming supercar blast from standstill, to 100mph and back to 0km/h again...
The 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR is the fastest series production Jaguar ever. It's only second to the famous XJ220 for speed, with a top speed of 200mph (or 322km/h). We went to Spain to drive the F-Type SVR Coupe and Convertible over a mix of Spanish regional roads, plus a stint at the MotoGP track Motorland Aragon...
We’ve been here before with Jaguar and Porsche’s compact sports cars. Germany won the first couple of CarAdvice battles, when the Boxster S pipped the F-Type V6 S convertible in 2013 and the Cayman GTS defeated the F-Type S coupe two years later. Honours were then even in October 2016 when we couldn’t split the 718 Boxster and F-Type V6 S...
It has almost become a landmark moment in our evolution as humans. A neat title to slot in after all that complex baby, child, teenager, adult transition stuff. The midlife crisis. More than just a Faith No More song, it's a chance, once the children are relatively self-sufficient, the career trajectory is on a clear path and ideally there is a bit of equity in the family home, to put the focus back on yourself for what might not be a particularly smart decision...
I’ve got 405 of Britain’s brawniest kilowatts under my bonnet as I idle, engine grumbling, exhaust barking, in lane two at Sydney Dragway. And yet, I’m the raging underdog. The reason has little to do with my $224,110 (plus on-road costs) Estoril Blue 2016 Range Rover Sport SVR and everything to do with the $260,980 Dark Sapphire 2016 Jaguar F-Type R AWD Convertible singing an identical tune in the lane beside me...
The next-generation Jaguar F-Type could become a two-seat, all-electric sports car to rival the upcoming Tesla Roadster. Autocar understands Jaguar is evaluating whether the next F-Type should be designed as a pure-electric vehicle. Under the electric-only proposal, the company's designers would have scope to recall the proportions of the venerated E-Type – and the plan would fit with discussions around turning Jaguar into an all-electric marque...
Jaguar has modified a pair of F-Type convertibles for rallying, as it looks to celebrate the XK120's rally exploits during the 1950s. The rally-ready F-Type convertibles have new front and rear grooved brakes with four-piston calipers, hand-built competition dampers with three-way adjustment, a limited-slip differential, and a hydraulic hand brake for those hairpin bends...
Jaguar has announced the F-Type Chequered Flag, commemorating seven decades since the original XK 120 was launched in 1948. Based on the R-Dynamic specification, the special-edition F-Type can be had in both coupe and convertible body styles, and is offered with both turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged V6 engines...
Eight-cylinder performance cars can take on very different forms these days – take the Jaguar F-Type SVR and Mercedes-AMG E63 S Estate, for example. In a new clip published by Carwow, Mat Watson lines up the British sports car and German performance wagon for an old-school drag race, to see which is quickest. On paper, the two vehicles are closely matched...
In early 2016 I replaced my XKR supercharged 5.0 V8 with the F-Type supercharged 3.0 V6 S. I had expected to keep the XKR for a long time but ultimately a combination of a roving eye and outdated media defeated that. I won't say that I went out and checked all of the different GT cars on offer before settling on the F-Type...
