Great one again boss!

[@PureDriveTV]

Thanks Hero! See you soon!💪👊

[@miyahtallulah]

"Better than it looks"? Are we talking about the same car. The F-type is Gorgeous!

[@PureDriveTV]

miyahtallulah Haha. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t look good. Just imagine how good it must be if it’s better than it looks..😁

[@LifeExplanatory]

@@PureDriveTV I see what you mean! Then perhaps “even better than it looks” is a better way to word it 😊

[@wattsenough]

I have the 2018 version R with 550 HP. The build quality is very good and it just feels like a supercar when you enter the cockpit. I think the esthetics are finally tuned in and the style just looks balanced. I would put this as an entry super car with the touch of a muscle car. The Porsche is playful but unless you double the price, you won't get the same experience. I had an M5 and this car just feels very special. The application of power is right now. The first time I hit it, my head was painfully snapped back with the unexpected application of power. I would not get the 6 no matter how much the salesman bragged about it. I like the two seat approach. The rear cover makes you feel like you are in a spaceship. With the hardtop I have more than enough room to pack for a long weekend and bring all the extra toys. And I have to bring up that the suspension is a bit harsh to my liking. There should be a street mode. Being picky the rear brakes look so miniscule compared to the highly finished front calipers. For the money they should have detailed the rear calipers with a smooth finish.

[@PureDriveTV]

wattsenough Cool! This is a whole review on its own.😄 Very clear, thanks! And good choice!👊😉

[@nikikonov]

I'm really thinking RWD vs AWD....RWD is fun but I've heard it's super easy to crash them, also you say goodbye to your tires in a season...pulls faster, but AWD is better at a drag...also AWD is more safe and spares the tires for another season... I've heard you could provoke the AWD in a small powerslides too in order to achieve "fun" Help pls

[@RK1FX]

Hey brother :). This video is quality. Really like it! Im gonna try shouting out on some channels for others to check out your content. You deserve a lot more subs. As for the car. The v8 in this car is sick as hell... Ive driven a v6 coupe and had a wild ride as a passanger in the v8s convertible. The torque is crazy from that motor and the sound... only a shleby gt350 is louder than this car.

[@PureDriveTV]

FX Hey amigo! Oh, that’s so cool to hear. Thank you so much!!👊😃 Yeah, I would like to try the v6 also one day. Just to know the difference. But I think I can imagine.😉 Yes, this thing sounds amazing indeed! Not only loud, but also a very nice note.👌

[@rickyaustin5757]

As always, love the video, did Clarkson test the car in the U.K ? Our roads are TERRIBLE! Northern European roads are like glass compared to ours, look forward to next video

[@PureDriveTV]

Ricky Austin Thanks amigo! Yes, he tested it in the UK. But he did mention that the road he was driving on was quite smooth. In general, yes..you’re right about the roads😅

[@Steve-gc5nt]

I recently drove a V8 SVR on an Experience Day at Thruxton. The car is epic. I mean properly good. The power delivery is astounding. A most capable car.

[@PureDriveTV]

The SVR is even more powerful. Great!

[@zenferg]

The pops and Bangs are reminiscent of 60s sports cars.with carborators especially old Jaguars.

[@PureDriveTV]

[@smilepermile888]

Great video! I think I do understand where Jeremy Clarkson is coming from though, he drove that F-type on UK's country roads which are notorious for being very bumpy, unlike the smoother roads in the Netherlands. Great driving by the way!

[@PureDriveTV]

That is true. But the thing is, when he said it he also mentioned that he was driving on a very good/flat/not bumpy road. Still, that could mean bumpy for other countries though..😅 Thanks! Cool to hear!😃👍

[@smilepermile888]

+PureDriveTV Great point, I forgot about that. I think most people in the UK would be jealous of your smooth roads in Netherlands!

[@PureDriveTV]

I think that’s true. On the other hand..I’m way more jealous about many other things about the UK. Mainly the friendly and more open minded people!🇬🇧👌

[@SpeedFlap]

Those speed bumps must be fun. There is a good reason to brake and accelerate again. ;-) The sounds of V6 and V8 are really different but I like them both, absolutely insane. However if I were restricted to buy a 6cyl, I would opt for the 981 Boxster S or GTS. Much lighter, agile and compact, easier to drive narrow roads. But I wasn't restricted... so I am with a FTV8S now. The V8 is the better match for this rather big car.

[@PureDriveTV]

SpeedFlap Haha, first time ever I see something positive about speedbumps😂 Yep, the 981 is great!👌 Wow cool, good job! Great car, a lot of fun!💪🔥

[@peterhert9350]

[@SuperSina12]

hey mate, i think Clarkson meant on british roads, which are very horrible in comparison to european roads. Love the video love the format ❤

[@PureDriveTV]

Good point. Thank you!!

[@135iN55]

I own both the V8 and the V6. The V8 is phenomenally better. It is absurdly fast as a lighter RWD than the heavy, lower whp AWD cars, and it is the best sounding car of all time, bar none. Add a $220 pulley and a $750 Racechip for a conservative 650 hp.

[@PureDriveTV]

Owning both, can you even enjoy the V6?🙈 I could only imagine how 650 bhp would be..💪😁

[@135iN55]

@@PureDriveTV I first bought the V6 based on so many reviewers "preferring it." It was way too weak for me, but it is perfect for my wife who doesn't care about anything but the gorgeous lines and open cockpit. So it went to her and I bought a launch car: a V8S in Firesand. As much as the V6 dissappointed me, the V8S has exceeded my expectations, and then some. As you might know, all V6s and V8s are hardware identical, so the base models have the same tuning potential as the higher horse power variants of the same cylinder count. With a Racechip and a pulley, my V8S puts down as much WHP as an SVR has BHP. Plus it is RWD so it absorbs less BHP with one less transmission and 300 lbs less weight. It is hillarious fun, but it takes practice to launch without lighting the rear tires on fire, even with traction control on, its a tail wagging adventure every time pedal hits floor. I wound up putting bigger Michelin 4Ss on, and sacrificing near brand new OEM PZeros to the gods, at least the MP4Ss grab some of the HP. But it really needs dedicated drag slicks. Anyone who says the V6 is the car to have has never driven the V8. A mildly tuned V8 is simply the best, fastest, loudest (in a good way) car reasonable money can buy, IMO. It eats Huricans and R8s and GT3s alive, with part throttle. It puts $200K-class cars away brutally, until they are out of the rearview mirror. Gone. It is merciless. I love it. And one rev in place breaks their windows and flattens their tires. The V6 can be tuned to 450 BHP, and it sounds very good in a different, less muscle car way. But it is no fun losing to Mustang GTs. Its really a non-starter as exotics go. Compare non-starter to damn near invincible. Thats the difference, in a nut shell.

[@RK1FX]

pops and bangs are unburned fuel that goes into the exhaust and burns there

[@PureDriveTV]

FX Yes, so far I know.😅😉 But modern cars don’t have those issues anymore. So I guess car manufacturers set the mapping the way it allows some fuel unburn, or..?

[@RK1FX]

PureDriveTV or some sort of injection of fuel into the exhaust a seperate injection, heard the rs5 has that, but might be wrong

[@PureDriveTV]

FX Ah yeah, that actually sounds logical. I need to get into that😁

[@craigantono284]

you create natural videos and are not afraid to make mistakes.. that is human and absolutely normal. I must agree, very nice sounding machine, aggressive and loud (10:02 min)... a real playsportmobil for big guys (after 18) :) the PDK from Porsche though is much faster!!!!!!! :P

[@PureDriveTV]

It just depends what your interpretation is of “much” 😉 Yes, PDK is faster👌 Thanks amigo!👍

[@craigantono284]

Hahahaaaa, yes, that's right... in this particular way the PDK just seems to me much faster, I drive only the Porsche... but you are the guy who has driven both, so you may be the judge of that :)

IMM2M Thank God We’re heading that way with the car industry😔

[@135iN55]

The V8S is no different than the V8R except software. Both tune to the same 690HP for $1-2000. The F-Type is the fastest, best looking, and best sounding car of all time. Nothing else even comes close.

oh btw the v6 sucks tbh. It is less nose heavy though, but it doesnt give the car a wild cat character. Many people buy 911s and they are great cars, but for me Im more or a Jaguar and Maserati guy in terms of convertibles or gt cars.

Sucks?? Are you sure about that comment? I drove the V8 all wheel drive and the v6. I enjoyed the v6 alot more because it felt so much lighter. On a tight circuit I didn't miss the V8 power. Jaguar did a splendid job with the f type. It's very entertaining

Poor build quality, cheap interior (old Peugeot components), overpriced, loses in every performance comparison to its peers. Savage depreciation. Terrible car terrible company.

😂 Not a Jaguar fan, I see. That’s completely fine of course, and I get your point. But what do you tell someone who tells you that they just have loads of fun with it? In that case who cares about all the numbers, the rivals, the price, the interior... Actually, kudos to Peugeot. That’s the best Peugeot interior I’ve ever seen.😍 But that could also be me, haha😄
