On the weekend after high school graduation in t1969, I saw a BRG E Type Jaguar roadster parked in the infield at Bridgehampton on Long Island New York during a Trans Am race weekend. 53 years later after a career as an oil and gas geoscientist, I've finally managed a 2022 Jaguar F Type R P575 convertible, also in British Racing Green. It will be transported in from Santa Monica where I bought it and will make the perfect addition to my garage. I am thrilled to finally have a car that I dreamed about as a boy. Hurrah !

Exterior styling-wise they've nailed it with this facelift to my eyes. In fact it's the only good looking current Jaguar on sale. Sounds good as well by 2020 standards. I rather like this. Two or three years down the road, when the first owner has had all the problems fixed, whilst paying the bulk of the depreciation for the privilege, it would be well worth a look. Nice review Pete 👍

That’s a really great video ped . I daily a 2003 Jaguar S-Type R twin screw 500 hp. Yes 500. Today I drove the 2021 Jaguar F-Type dynamic P450 . And you are spot on in your descriptions. Certainly lacking in sound though what sounded it had was gorgeous. Styling super impressive agility super impressive breaking super impressive. Colour beautiful GP blue. One day old. An absolute honour to have driven it. I noticed a little bit more talk than my STR . But not a lot more. Certainly a bit of transmission and handling and breaking. . but it didn’t make the STR feel slow just less safe . Now I have driven a 515 hp XKR and an FType S 5.0 I think both of these had more torque then the P450. I think it’s amazing that I can even still compare the power of my 2003 Jaguar super sedan to this 2021 super GT. I will say this though that P450 Is the nicest car I have ever driven. Absolutely stunning.

You should revisit the 2.0L, as it actually sounds quite good in it’s own way and is plenty fast enough for UK roads! You can review mine if you like???👍🏻

Great review Pete. As a previous owner of a 535ps V8 the new exhaust is fine for me. The old V8 used to wake up with a start "flare" that made me hated in my street when going off to work at 6 am.

My Mercedes SL is always described as soft and only good as a grand tourer...but it is able to impress far more in a quiet understated way....angry aggressive is a popular choice but reality is usability. I’m sure I would like one...but it is getting old inside...it is looking like a car you buy at 12 months old for £40,000 and that is when it works best. Thank you Peter..another good review!!

Peter, I think you would change your opinion on the F type if you drove it from your home to Gissy. Having a loan 4 pot for two days I rang up and asked them to collect it again after one day. I had hoped it would have come close to a much loved nearly final edition XK which I had for around two and a half years. A replacement for the XK it certainly is not being noisy, jarring suspension and hard seats proved a no go for me. To put it into perspective I drove my XK from GISSY to Holyhead, ferry crossing to ROI and then north to my home in Norn Iron. Arriving home I felt I could have made the return journey the next day as the XK was a joy to own. I know the F type is targeting a different age group but if any of your younger subs is thinking of getting one I would suggest getting a pair of ear defenders as well.

Not too dissimilar to the latest Vantage from the front and the rear flared arches. Unlike the Aston the F Type tries to appeal to a broader spread of buyers giving more of us a chance of ownership. Losing the V6 is a shame, most of its competitors will be powdered by 6 cylinder engines. This V8 doesn't sound like a V8 should, its a little bit plastic as though the sound engineers have tried too hard to make it sound better but come up against the brick wall of NVH rules.

Good content, in the past had trouble with Turbos locking up, partly by where manufactures mount them next to engine (as opposed to risers up high ...not to show off to keep them cooler next to Heat extractor hoods, or Boot), which defeats the purpose of the intercooler. Also, wouldn't buy a Jaguar without the reliable V8 5.0, and the V6 has actually been the 5.0 V8 with 6 cylinder heads and the last too camed pistons are stationary hidden under the windscreen, Thanks for sharing F-Type SVR is also my favorite and most like would be the one would buy. Was close to buying one and found out they 're only automatic.. miss the 6 speed manual transmission. The only reason have the PDK not because a Valet at the Hotel Burned for 10 minutes my Tires, Clutch, and Engine trying to get my Lotus Elise up the Parking Lot Ramp... the engine alone was $16,000, and so didn't repair it, and wound buying the 2016 Mustang.

I’ve had the V6 380, 400 AWD Sport and V8 SVR. To me SVR 4WD was by far the best and was not a handful in any way. It didn’t wheel spin and was stable under acceleration and was far better than my present AM DB11. Like the new front end but very disappointed that the back hasn’t been changed more than just the lights. After 2 years with the spoiler I hated it so glad they’ve deleted it. Inside doesn’t appear changed other than infotainment which is disappointing. In my SVR I averaged over 30mpg on some medium driving conditions days on a long trip to Portugal which was very surprising. The biggest downside to me is the design hasn’t changed enough for me to buy another and they could have done so much more to upgrade the interior quality . For anyone buying one go for a low mileage 1 year old SVR and save the massive depreciation on a new one.

@@Deathstaroya Two issues. First it goes through catalytic converters faster. The stock car eats them for breakfast, too. I think the June 2016 software reduced the ferocity to help, you might still have a loud car. Second, it ripped my engine mounts apart. They are only $200 per side and it was track burnouts while holding the brake with R888R 315s that did it. AWD can skip the burnout, but you’ll need better than the OEM PZeros or you’ll light up all 4. That’s another issue with my RWD, actually, lighting up the rears at high speed, especially when turning, but all the time in any gear less than 6th. I blew two rear Michelin 4S 305 tires together by ripping the cores out at the bead. Cup 2s are a lot stronger, but traction was only 20% better, and less consistent between sides. Only R888Rs are workable. Your AWD might get away with 4Ss.

Guess they're saving the big v8 noise for the SVR. Were it not for a lack of luggage space, this junior V8 might be a good GT. I'd still go for the 4l caynan/boxter GTS for their better practicality, drive and resale values.

I'm glad they didn't change the back end too much. The front looks too much like a Mustang though 🤦♂️

I have a XK, which suits the V8 and is a great grand tourer. I’m tempted by this facelift F Type for fast commuting between UK and Luxembourg. As a grand tourer it appears the right spec will help, as does the less tiring soundtrack. It’s difficult to find a true grand tourer in the style of the XK (which I shall keep) at this price point. I’m not a fan of Porsche’s, BMW, Mercedes or Audi, I’d love to support Lotus again with an Evora but I just don’t see it as a grand tourer for stress free comfortable long distance Euro driving.

It reckon it would be a good choice for that. You should give one a try 👍

Still a very attractive car with the subtle styling tweaks. Aside of losing the V6, Jaguar are clearly adopting an “if it ain’t broken...” philosophy. Not that they are direct competitors per se, but I’d love to see you review the Nissan GT-R. All the best Pete.

It's a shame the car has been out for 7 years and the dealerships are still using the wrong rear number plate....

I just picked up my 2019 4 cylinder option and I am totally satisfied with the mileage on my wallet.

The most valuable V6 F-type will most likely be the 400 Sport. Not many were made.
