@Auto blipper yeah, this was when the world was fine and people just kept working while the stretch between the rich and poor, employed to unemployed just got bigger and bigger though properly operational. Pretty sure schools exist that work but because of this pandemic, they are all probably closed. It would be nice to take the ways of learning, find an abandoned smooth parking lot with cones and just practice but even then somethings could be missed resulting in a rollover crash and worse. Only to be trapped with coronavirus patients that if the accident didn't kill you, the lack of medical care would.

@Auto blipper yeah, it's going to be interesting to see what happens in 6 days when the people who don't have N95s die like flies.. I don't think NBA and other sporting events would ever be the same again. They are highly reliant upon marketing that businesses that are operating with their stock investors depend upon. If the things at the very bottom don't work all the way to the top, what is going to happen? I don't think anyone has an answer as most of what has been engineered in life was at the cost of people investing multiple years to decades of doing things properly hourly as time is money. It is how most of the world is brought up while there are people who get lucky with investments, lucky with gambles, who go on vacation and schools all the time while everybody else stays at the same level but that level is all being shattered and no one has an answer no matter how much money they have. You can see the voice and composure breakup when they talk about a solutions with a vaccine and such that is coming as they know and don't think it is going to work.

My three all time favourite cars are the Nissan GT-R, Rolls Royce Phantom and the Koenigsegg Agera.. One is an extremely limited hypercar, one is an ultra-luxury object that you cannot drive yourself and the other is well.. Godzilla. But the F-Type is completely unique and an absolutely amazing car in my opinion. In its price range I don't think there's any other car I'd prefer to have over it. 458 Italia, Porsche 911, Merc SLS AMG? Naah, the beauty of this far exceeds what they have to offer IMO. Definitely my favourite new car and I firmly believe it will be remembered as classic, much like the legendary E-type.

12:00 - 12:07 Just poetry in motion. Got to say though, the v6 as an everyday is probably the more achievable in terms of cost, maintenance, fun and comfort, especially since its not as simple as 'getting the v8' given that its more or less twice the price. Also there is a range of sound in the v6 that the constant roar of the v8 cannot do. That said, the v8 is an awesome car. maybe to sum it up the v6 is more purr/poetry and the v8 more roar/power.
@meejmuas86862 жыл бұрын
I agree with you. I chose to get the V6 because of it's lighter purr sound. I want people to enjoy the sound of the V6 version when I drive past. I know the V8 would be more fun because of the power but Im not the type to race supercars often

My Porsche dealership sells Porsche and Jaguars. They have just about every version with options of the 911 and even have a 918 on site (not for sale, it's the owners who leaves it there for display) and yet every time I go in for a service or to get my car washed my eyes are drawn to a fully optioned charcoal with carbon black F1. It's literally the most beautiful car in the showroom or on the lot. Ian Callum and Jag are really putting out some amazing cars.

What you say about the interior is so true. Sadly, it's the same for many other cars costing 6 figures (117k CDN$). You'd think that the manufacturers wouldn't scrimp on a car costing 100k+. I've seen many sub-50k cars looking more luxurious than many Benz, BMW's...etc. I guess this is where the Aston's set themselves apart from the F-Types. They are more luxurious inside. Though, I'm sure there are bits in the interior of an AM that might also look out of place in a car in that price range. I haven't been in an AM so I can't comment...nor a F-Type for that matter...HEH... Having said that I still love the overall look of the F-Type R's interior (and of course exterior). Using the same font for the characters would have made sense. Most manufacturers DO use the same font. What was Jaguar thinking? :) On the other hand a F-Type buyer is looking for a more sportier GT car than the Aston Martins I prefer the look of the F-Type R over any AM. One of the best looking GT cars on the market. If not #1 IMHO. Makes 911's look boring...which they do (typical German engineering...looks boring w/ ZERO sex appeal but well engineered). Jaguar F-Type R = sportiness + aggression + elegance Aston Martin DBS/DB9 = sporty + elegant 911 = sporty Looking FWD to seeing what Jaguar does with the SVR version of this coupe. Hope they don't use the new front facia see in spy photos.

VIVA LA ZF ! The ZF transmission is my favorite part of my F-Type. 2WD or AWD; well I got the last year for 2WD and that is a limiting factor for going fast. But you will always have a limiting factor and what would it be if I went AWD, IDK. But I chose 2WD for the traditional value - hey, I already gave up a stick shift for paddles and there's only so much I am prepared to change at one time. Finally, trim level. I test drove both and the F-Type R was sublime. BUT, I bought an F-Type S as my daily driver, for city streets, freeway and country road mix of commute. You don't hunt deer with a howitzer, you use the right tool for the job. Now, 5 years later, it's time to sell and there is a problem - NOTHING sounds as good as any F-Type (I don't count the 4 cylinder as a real F-Type, so it's exhaust note is irrelevant). But then, nothing sounds and looks as good, and when I pull up at traffic lights on the way to the store I don't ALWAYS want to be the center of attention. So, maybe I could live with something less "Shouty" as Jeremy Clarkson called it. Yes shouty does get old. But it took 5 years to do so :)

Dear Chris, Thank you. Great video (to your team too). Great evaluation and fully agree. Had a 996tt loaded up, tuned, etc. Sold it years ago. Have been distracted and tried a Subaru STI….great car but not beautiful or special. Sold it…….life. Found a 2016 F-Type S. Balanced, F1 sound (even better than the V8 to my ear), a lot of power for the street….in theory tunable to 450hp/400ft lbs….. Amazing car. More fun than the Porsche turbo I had. Really. And one can use the throttle without fear of instant death and mayhem (the Porsche and many new cars are just too much for responsible use on public roads in my mind and as a result are forced into a boring state of half throttle use…..my opinion). I could not be happier with the car. And dare I say it, far more engaging and beautiful than a 911. If only Jaguar could market it more and perhaps grow a racing team around it more. This car makes one’s life better and more fun. The Porsche was more about being in the club. This is about making your own way.
