Spending an extra $260 on an F-Type will buy you possibly the best option you can select: the electronically switchable active exhaust…
Operated easily via a transmission tunnel-mounted button, the function gives you manual control over the thumping Jag’s exhaust silencer baffles. This means you can choose to allow a measured and refined burble to exit the V8’s unique quad outboard exhaust pipes when tootling around town and then, at the press of a button, let all hell break loose when at the track (read: still tootling around town).
Fair warning, though: brush aside the baffles and the result is an unimpeded supercharged V8 explosion that is as raucous as it is glorious. Combining a guttural full-throttle note with racecar-like cracks and bangs on lift-off, the waste gas audio track is unavoidably giggle inducing.
