Jaguar Ftypes In Wales V6 vs V8

[@colinkandagaigo1396]

I think this is the best video comparing the v6 and the v8 jaguars.

[@Bryanok1]

Please tell me how, it doesn't do any comparisons. The only thing it does is have them in the same video. That doesn't make it a comparison. Where was the driving of both of them? In order to make a valid comparison one needs to drive both cars, he never did. He just drove the v8...

[@jerryinnesbeer1923]

Loved it Jon! Great to be able to compare the 2 Jags and, if it makes anyone smile that much it must be worth it!

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Jerry Innesbeer I literally ha face ache for two days from laughing and smiling so much...... such fun. Worth every penny.... if you have £90k’s worth of pennies to spend on a car!!

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

Did you go on the back 'mountain road' from the Elan Valley reservoirs to Aberystwyth? That's a fantastic road, especially driving into a sunset. Some epic roads around there and Llyn Clywedog. Wales has the best driving roads full stop. I would recommend further north around Lake Vyrnwy and the back roads towards the west coast. Just avoid the boring Evo triangle and you can't go wrong.

[@coachingfortoday7143]

I completely understand your conclusion.... however.... I prefer to navigate life in stealth mode. I am a jaguar rather than a lion, and thus the V6S is my vehicle of choice. I will wave to you as I pass on the freeway, the blue flashing lights having been conveniently preoccupied by your lion.

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Great video, I went straight to the V8 I was looking for a 400 version. I've not been disappointed same as you.

[@Bryanok1]

I have to say not a very good comparison at all. You didn’t compare noises really. You should have done them from stationary and driving. You only drove the v8 which isn’t the way to do it as far as I am concerned...

[@safety517]

i think your video is excellent. I found it very informative and well delivered. i own a V6 which i love but after test driving a V8 i am seriously considering raiding a lot of piggy banks to upgrade. So this video is the most helpful of all the ones i have viewed. Please keep up the good work as even if i don't get there, i find your videos very entertaining. Big Thanks Ray W

Great video - really like your style and high quality content 👍

[@ingridkhan5847]

My husband bought the XFS 3 years ago after watching one of your videos. He test drove the 5 litre, V8 R-Dynamic (2020) F-Type yesterday, and while he said it was an amazing drive, he still prefers the V6 S. Why? 1. It's not worth the extra money (in his humble opinion. 2. It reminded him of an American muscle car, and 3. He prefers the car to be more like the original icon, E-Type with the twin exhausts. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the world's great V8's, but it's the V6 all the way!

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Great here that people are watching my videos to help with their car choices. The V8 R is a beast, but heavy. V6 and 4 cylinder are more sporting in their handling.... but the V8 is brutal. I guess it depends on your personal preferences. Latest R has the new EU regs applied and so no real noise below 3500 rpm... which was always its USP. Shame :(

[@ingridkhan5847]

@@fastandcarcurious4768 Just a quick update. He drive the V6 S today, and much preferred the V6, as it was lighter and more sportier. He said that cornering was so sweet in the V6 compared to the V8. As you said, the V6 is more nimble. He also added that both cases are truly beautiful, powerful and so elegant. It's just your preference, and whichever you buy, no one's a loser. Greatest car ever!

[@hankwilliams5622]

ALL wrong. The E-Type was a pile of shit and considered so where they know about cars- Italy. The facts are that the V6 is an ordinary motor like many, many others, whereas the the V8 compared to other V8's is exceptional in every aspect. Your husband, I'm sure, needs assistance in certain functions....

[@Dan89er]

Put a tune and pulley on get 440 bhp, add sports cat back and a charge cooler and filters and get 480 bhp :)

[@135iN55]

Add a $750 racechip GTS Black and a $200 pulley and the V8 dynos at 652 HP.

[@135iN55]

The V8 and V6 use the same block, there is very little weight difference. I own both, the V8 is THE best supercar in the world, the V6 is a very good sporty car.

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Sandy feels quiet different at the front end , to me at least ! You are a lucky person to have both :)

[@marinedrive5484]

V6 sounds like more of a driver's car and still has enough drama going on - and it's just as stunning as the V8 to look at. So, I'll keep my 20K and then, when I've saved up enough money, buy a V6.

[@Bryanok1]

Only if you are a girl.

[@odinikita4821]

​@@Bryanok1 another wanker

[@halloweenbloodfrost]

V6s sounds better during shifts. This was a crappy video. I’ve had both v8s and v6s. At idle the V8 sounds better but during that drive…when downshifting that V6s sounds like an F1😳🥵🥵

[@krupple]

Where the hell is the v6 sound from outside? You had both Jags and didn’t even post both sounds in succession.

[@FFE-js2zp]

On the used market I paid $6K more for my V8 that I sold my V6. The V6 feels underpowered, the V8 is an unbeatable monster. Also, a RWD V8 is lighter than an AWD V6. The weight difference is minimal,so the torque difference (displacement) is what matters to acceleration (F=MA), and the V8 has 2/3rds more.

[@odinikita4821]

The V6 feels underpowered you say I think you're a wanker

[@mikewatch1487]

I’ve owned both. The V8 is obnoxious.... too loud. Just overdone IMO

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

I enjoy putting the R in sports dynamic followed by pressing the exhaust button. You get all the fun in ‘silent assassin’ mode. Surprisingly, not many owners discover this.

[@200mphBrian]

I don't know why people say that it only gets loud if you get on it I have the sport exhaust and I pull the fuse to leave the valves open all the time and of course if I floor it and get it up into the high RPMs it's loud but in a beautiful way

[@ahands2320]

Top video, really useful comparison, and I think your conclusion is the same as mine - Its about the drama

[@EFC1878Mark]

Probably gonna get a used V6 380 awd later on in the year- coupe over convertible? I'm a bit stuck as thinking to emigrate Oz/NZ in the near future and take it with.

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

EFC1878Mark having driven both I think the coupe is better looking and a better ‘everyday’ car. The convertible is more fun and louder.... so if it’s going to be your only car go for the coupe in my view!

[@200mphBrian]

I've got a 2014 V8s convertible and I don't even know why anybody would look at the 4-cylinder or for that matter the 6-cylinder either the V8 is just such an awesome car

[@kevind4573]

Cracking video, just to confirm that the V8 is only available in AWD now but is rear wheel biased and will let the back go a little before power is sent through to the front. I can also confirm that the SVR is a cracking piece of machinery ;)

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Kevin D darn it! I could have given it more welly!! :)..... I was aware that AWD is now standard but I wasn’t convinced this one had it as it was still super tail happy!

[@kevind4573]

Lol yes just keep the front wheels pointing in the direction you want to go, they have phenomenal grip and you can push on in most weather without any issues ;)

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Kevin D have you got one?

[@kevind4573]

Yes ;) have a look at cars and keepers on NFOXTV kzbin.info/door/lcBgnPAqoFCMa1NYHcsmnA

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Kevin D WOW!! You lucky lucky man!!! The ultimate F Type in the best colour! Nice work !

[@stevelee9924]

Out of dynamic mode and active exhaust off, the V8 is quite quiet.

[@wheelsandwatches]

So for U.K. B roads which would you have?

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Personally I’d have the V8.... but a pre 2018 .... the new noise regs are ridiculous. Post 2018 sound like a hair dryer until 3500 rpm

[@wheelsandwatches]

@@fastandcarcurious4768 thanks. I’m leaning towards a 2 year younger half the mileage v6 and then tune it and smaller SC pully so it’s 450hp and and extra 100 torque over stock as opposed to an older higher mileage v8. We shall see.

[@wl660]

Bonnet vents are in different positions between v8 and v6.

[@pierrepye7031]

The bonnet vent on thé V8 is form 2016. 2014 and 15 same as V6.. but there were problèms with water going to some electrical parts

Someone says that v6 has a more acute sound than v8, is it true?

It’s higher pitched. V8 is deeper and angrier. I now own a P450 V8 … sounds epic

[@travfdy]

Great video 👍

[@Michael-4]

Good one.👍

[@Beemernow]

So I have a question for you as I'm' seriously considering this car as a step up from my meager 2010 XK. I'm a old school muscle car guy and love the sound and crack of Nitro funny cars and such, but being it would be an everyday driver, I would think that popcorn sound, as beautiful as it is, would get annoying after awhile? If you take it out of the active exhaust, is it still pretty popcornish??

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

HarleySpike I’ve driven quite a few F Types and the newer ones have actually been toned down. The V8’s are much quieter sub 3k revs and so the around town experience isn’t as noisy or as violent as it used to be. Now, depends on your tastes, but they may or may not be a good thing. One of the benefits of F Types over their competition is that you didn’t need to wring their necks to get a decent noise. Regulation changes saw to that!

[@Beemernow]

@@fastandcarcurious4768 thank you!

[@wingee]

Just a constructive criticism, the audio within the car is too quiet. Perhaps use an audio compressor . Keep up the good work

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

wingee now that sounds like some cool stuff.... no idea what it is... but I will investigate. I did buy an external mic for the GoPro but is was terrible!

[@wingee]

No need for a hardware one - it'll likely be in your video editing software. It simply makes the quieter bits louder and the louder bits quieter to even out the audio.

[@kennchristoffersen9664]

I take the V6 best sound

[@sichere]

The bonnet vents are also different and most importantly so are the wheel sizes. Very little detail on the interior or the ride settings and the mic is too quiet - 3/10 for the review as it was more a POV driving experience and it looked like a Teutonic Audi was your final drive home.

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

sichere thanks for your feedback. Means a lot.

[@sichere]

@@fastandcarcurious4768 Less of yourself and more of the car with some close ups No one is going under the bonnets or into real details such as altering driver settings and user interface I've had a V8R RWD for over a year now and still can't get over how it got passed Jags HSE bods I can get over 31 mpg and 110 mph @ 2500 revs !!!! and the B&W sound system louder that a Notting Hill Carnival The list is endless .

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

I’ve reviewed F Types previously and in those reviews cover the interior etc at greater length. This film looks at the V6 vs V8 differences. A simpler more light hearted review. Check out the others for the detail that you are after ;)

[@sichere]

@@fastandcarcurious4768 Yeah I watched the Dynamic one and just seen the V8 Conv - The V8 snaps and pops decelerating from 4 - 3 000 Revs and with a slight flutter using the right foot you can snap crackle and pop to you hearts content - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4CxkoWFl5mYo6c

[@i_havent_got_that]

Great comparison, just subscribed. What mpg did each car return over the course of your 2 day test. I guess the V8 R is a thirsty beast prob around 14mpg is my guess. Cheers

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Colin Wilby I’m not sure how but the V8 returned 19mpg and the V6 23mpg..... both were driven ‘enthusiastically’. Impressive.

[@i_havent_got_that]

Fast and (Car) Curious Wow that’s amazing - I really expected the v8 to be in the low teens. I only used to get 19mpg out of my old (1995) XJ Sport 3.2 back in the day. Will check out both models at the dealership. I think the v8 may be calling my name!

[@fastandcarcurious4768]

Colin Wilby if you can make the V8 happen it’s the one to go for. I’ve driven several V6 S’ but the V8 R is another league entirely. I had the 3.2 XJ Sport back in 2000..... it did 15 mpg on a good day! To say things have moved on is an understatement!

[@fgcpeak9591]

The V6 SURPRISINGLY does just as well or very very close to doing as well as my trash 1.6 BMW 1 Series lmao

[@mikewatch1487]

It’s the black package and has nothing to do with V6 or V8

David Smith so would I ..... every day of the week. It’s heavy, it’s brutish .... it’s bloody marvellous!!!!

So, your conclusion was.....The V8 appeals to a 10 year-old.....Mmmmm OK.
