2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S - The British Hellcat You Need to Hear! (POV Binaural Audio)

[@willum223]

Green, tan leather, silver wheels, and it's a Jaaaag. Can't go wrong

[@graygamingps4503]

Yeah it's a lovely spec, dark green and dark blue tend to be my favourite colours

[@daszieher]

​@@graygamingps4503same. I have a green over tan Volvo Amazon and a matching E46 Coupé (and a couple of dailies not worth being mentioned). I am looking for the crown of this "collection"... Although navy over tan also has its allure and is far easier to come by on the used car market.

My wife bought me one of those drive an exotic tickets for Father’s Day once. The line for the Ferrari and Lamborghini were super long, but no one was waiting for the F-Type (coupe), so I said screw it. It was an absolute blast and the exhaust note was incredible! One day this may be my mid life crisis convertible.

[@stilixz3754]

how long were the ride

[@Singularity.82]

These things are so cheap too if you let them depreciate a bit. By far the best bang for your buck.

[@ah_04]

Its exhaust sound is pure music to the ears.

[@scootypuffjr.]

The British get the styling right almost every time.

[@memorimusic420]

The pre facelift cars look so much better than the facelift ones imo, still one of the coolest modern muscle cars!

[@Singularity.82]

Yeah I always wonder how long the screens are going to last. I just turn off my console screen 99% of the time anyways

[@ah_04]

This car is 10 years old. Amazing.

[@jerrystewart2145]

"I didnt know thats what those sound like" is the perfect way to describe the f type. Most of the owners baby them and keep the valves closed, so its rare you ever hear them. Even the v6 sounds heavenly

[@3ducs]

I have a '16 V6 manual coupe, I have the valve open all the time.

[@ChrisFEJackson]

I removed the fuse on my valve control so they are always open!!

[@Singularity.82]

My R is open all day long.

[@3ducs]

The V6 sounds good too. I have a 2016 S coupe with manual transmission, a great car to drive on the twisty roads of rural New Hampshire. Triple black, it has a menacing look to it. Only has 380HP but that's enough on those backroads.

[@sombrefeelings9517]

380hp is more than enough bro thats a shiiiiit tonne of fun

[@candyman3108]

Did not know that you could get a S coupe with a manual. Nice!

[@3ducs]

@@candyman3108 Only in the V6 and only for 2-3 years. I searched all over the US, found one 2,000 miles from my NH home in Colorado, had it shipped. Never actually saw one in the metal, of course never drove one. I wasn't disappointed. Since buying that I added an '06 XJ8 4.2 VDP. I don't know how Jaguar will do as an all electric car company, I have zero interest in electric cars.

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Keep hold of the V6 S manual they are becoming rare & sought after!!

[@nateskates82]

Absolutely wild - bought a black on black V8 S a week before this video came out. Can confirm - the best driving experience I've ever felt!

[@janp7882]

Day 11 of asking Tedward to drive the S60R (this Jaaaag sounds absolutely insane and I can’t believe this is already 10 years old😳)

[@jdkrey6326]

Agreed!! the c30 video is still one of my favorites, an s60r video would be amazing!

[@chrishopkinson5735]

As an owner of a 2014 V8 F type, this video sums up the experience perfectly. Best car I have owned

[@dominicjulian8023]

I am on the fence of trading my Mustang plus cash for one. Any maintenance I should consider before buying one?

[@Singularity.82]

​@@dominicjulian8023 Make sure you examine the car with a checklist before you buy. There are some really good KZbins of things to make sure of and what tends to go out on these the most. Maintenance depends on how and how much you drive it ofc. I'm a year and 8k into mine and the only thing I have done is changed the oil.

[@12MinuteStudios]

Best review of a car I've ever seen. I literally just watched a car sell itself to the customer. There was no grand standing here.. and I can actually feel you fighting all the praise and trying to keep it realistic but it just kept growing on you and it was such an authentic review and experience and all the people watching can feel that..Wow.. I am now a disabled vet and I'm on a very limited income and I will never be able to own one of these unfortunately so a review like this for a car lover like myself is very special. You literally put me in the driver's seat and it says if I experienced that myself. Don't have to ask me to subscribe. I'm all in great job Bravo

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Nicely summed up. Take care.

[@Singularity.82]

These cars depreciate very rapidly. Look for an early model year on the used market and you will be shocked at how affordable they are.

[@britishcarfan9601]

I grew up with several Jags as a kid. My grandfathers 1963 Mark 2 with a 4 speed was probably the best one I rode in to be honest.

[@ethanford9678]

I had a V6 S FType and watching this brought such a smile to my face, it felt as if I was driving it again. Those accelerations, the way the traction would break just enough to be exciting but not enough for it to lose control is just perfect 👌

[@clarksonyouinfantilepilloc8041]

The V6 Spec of this car sounds insane and the supercharger on them are so cool

[@01AnthraciteXJR]

I was lucky enough to spend most of my teen years working on a series III Jaguar xJ6, and since then I have been lucky enough to have an 01 XJR and my father has a l322 with the same 5.0 supercharged engine as this f-type. Wonderful... if not expensive to maintain machines

[@zaneprice6560]

The older supercharged V8 model sounds so violent compared to the newer models

[@NotMalikScott]

I’m glad they’re really ‘affordable’ (30-45k) now! I would want one from Carvana or Carmax so I could get a warranty.

[@Jmarzx]

I can see why u want the warranty but those companies and most dealerships give u many issues when it comes to warranties and half ass fix things so I guess its two sides to the coin also 💯

[@Fordguy1997]

@@JmarzxI think Doug had pretty good luck with the carmax bumper to bumper warranties

[@gww730]

I can speak from direct experience with the Carmax warranty on my 2015 F-Type R . It all depends on the dealer - I had my coolant pipes replaced under warranty, but Maxcare believed that the dealer was charging too much and I ended having to come out of pocket an extra $800 over what Maxcare covered.

[@ElloGunva]

@@Fordguy1997 I had a terrible time with Carvana. My view is, you can get a good deal on there if you're a car guy. Meaning, you can find a rare spec or vehicle priced well. The downside is you better prepare a month plus of no car while it's being repaired. Basically you get the car in the condition dealer vehicles are in when they recieve them. Before they're overlooked and repaired. That is up to you, the customer. And, most customer sdon't have the time to deal with the headache of it all, so just leave little issues. Saving Carvana the cost of actaully fixing the issue in the end. Carvana also owns the warranty company, SilverRock. This is my opinion after two cars from Carvana, that's what my view was at the end. I saved on a rare car, but had to waste so much of my time it would have been impossible if I wasn't remote. I returned the first car because the headache was not worth how rare the car was. One thing overlooked with the warranty on a rare car is that you might have to go to the dealer for the issue because the warranty forces you to go to your local Firestone for all the repairs. So keep that in mind when you pay 4k for an Audi, it's going to Firestone for the issues unless you want to pay the luxury shop fee which now is I think 300 or 500. You also only get 1 hour diagnosis, which at the dealer can add up fast when they charge 225/hr. Then, in the dealer might say it needs X part that costs 5000. Carvana (SilverRock) will say, nah we want this 2k "other brand" part because it's the same thing. The dealer wont do the repair with that part because it's a unique issue and the other cheaper parts never really fix it, so the customer has to pay the $3,000 difference for their "free" warranty repair. Thinking you'll save on a common issue with a vehicle you want where the repair can cost 10k... maybe not. You might end up paying 4k for the warranty and then pay out 3k over the life of the warranty. So you have to have over 7k worth of warranty issues for it to make financial sense for one common rare issue. Never mind all the other issues these vehicles have. It's a huge headache.

[@TonyCoviello]

I just got a ‘16 V6S in November. So much fun to drive, and pretty rare to see. All for less than a new Camry. I’m sure that maintenance will bite me eventually, but I look for any excuse to drive it, these are very underrated.

Having spent time behind the wheel of many a modern sports car (F82 M4, 991 Carrera S, M8 Competition, Boxster S, ND Miata, C5/C6/C8 Corvette, E46 M3, etc etc), The F-Type has always been the one I've enjoyed most. Both V6 and V8 S have lively, engaging chassis and steering, drop-dead gorgeous looks, and most importantly sound like nothing else on the road. I intend to own one again in the future.

One of the best sounding engines going

[@BigMeechEJ25]

I worked at JLR Corporate for a few years in their technical center and I gotta say my favorite was always the F-Type besides the cool concepts and one offs we got to deal with. Reminds me of my old S-Type R with the 4.2. The pre face lift looks amazing and is definitely timeless. The new ones look good too but they toned down the exhaust. Even with the Titanium exhaust on the SVR, it's still loud but not nearly as loud as these earlier V8S' & R's. I remember talking to one of the engineers about it, and they don't know how the exhaust made it to production. It's way past the decibel limit haha, thank god it did though. Good overview and video as always man.

[@RyanRoadReaper]

As a Jag fan, I love that this is the car I can point to whenever someone doesn't get my love for them

[@nickallain]

I had a 2015 R coupe in this BRG color. So nice to see a very similar car. These are gorgeous and washing it was an absolute pleasure.

[@thierryvt]

I remember when these came out which was quite a departure from the grandpa mobiles they'd been pumping out for years before that lol. The goal was to attract younger buyers with an exciting car. This thing has aged so fucking well. I think they achieved their goal. At least somewhat.

My 2013 Jaguar XK-R sounds just like it. I just love my XK-R

[@Adison0529]

Your audio setup truly shined in this one. Eargasms all around. Also, truly a British spec and it's fantastic, I admire the fact that the seatbelts and paddle shifters are in tan as well. Always thought these were cool, but they're so unpopular I haven't thought about one for the past couple years for sure. Now that you showed this one - they're back on the menu for me. Hard to believe it's 10 yo already. The interior looks perfect to me, all the touch points look obvious, tactile, no unnecessary goofing around with shit ton of touch screens. BMW F series style gear knob, very pretty AC control wheels, clean, well organized steering wheel. The only thing it could use is an old fashioned handbrake rather than an electronic one. Idk, I can't find proper words for it overall. It looks, it sings and it moves. Honestly, might've dethroned the LC500 in a "luxurious coupe perfect for a middle age crisis" category for me simply because it does all the LC already does, but screams way better on top of that.

[@CLoubat]

I just got a job as a porter for a JLR dealership a few weeks ago, partly because of your videos, and actually had my first jaaaaaaag experience the day you uploaded this video. I agree the F-Type is timeless I got in it and was shocked that it was from 2016 cause it looked too new, but unlike the one you drove, mine was the V6. Funny world we live in.

[@ChrisFEJackson]

I've watched a lot of F-Type reviews over the years and I have to say I did lol a lot on your video, you did the car justice. I own the F-Type V8R MY2015 Coupe and believe it or not it's 80% more rigid than the convertible, plus it kicks out 550BHP (I think the convertible is the same engine) The Coupe is AWD too they did stop the rear drive only on V8's for obvious reasons. Loved your narration and a great advert to buy one. Btw I'm 60 & I love the fonts on the clocks lol

[@davidseo677]

I test drove this car at 27 years old back in 2014 when i was just an uber driver barely making it by. I walked in confidently saying I was a software engineer that made 100k lol. I also drove m4 and c7 corvette on the same day. The f type definitely left the biggest lasting impression on me. The m4 felt very mundane and too easy to drive.

[@skolenimation]

I was so close to buying one last year. But practicality won out. Such a great sound and amazing design.

[@carguy7627]

I was seriously considering a F-Type R for that 575hp and that sound. Although I wanted a "lightweight" sports car with good power and handling, the styling and noise of the R was pulling at me. I also like the newer reworked interior; although I like the pre-facelift front end better. I was going to go test drive one and then checked insurance prices and they are insane - literally three times a Porsche 911. That was a deal breaker since I hate pissing money away on insurance or taxes.

[@dlj1285]

You are not wrong. I kinda got screwed on the insurance. I got a quote from my insurance company 4 months before I closed on a 2024 F-Type R. It was fine. Then after I was already committed to the car I got an updated quote and it doubled. So I’m paying double of what it would be to insure a brand new 911. Called a few other insurance companies and they were even more. Something transpired for this car in terms of rates, seemingly overnight. Kinda rots me a bit, but it is what it is. I still would have purchased the car, but this is an aspect of the ownership I’m not a fan of for sure.

[@dlj1285]

It’s a low mileage summer-only toy. I may be able to get a better rate from Hagerty after a couple years of driving the car with my current insurer. They wouldn’t take me on until I had a few years under my belt on the car for whatever the reason. I’d say they’re my best hope for a more reasonable rate. This is despite being basically 50 with a perfect record.

[@NILOCOgov]

This is still outrageous in 2024, my god.

[@reaperxi-0382]

Just as I’m in the market for one! Would you maybe be able to compare this to the V6? Would be great to see the comparison in sound and performance, along with your opinion of the two!

[@3ducs]

They are closer to 3,400-3,500 pounds. They are all aluminum, bonded and riveted chassis and body, very advanced. The coupes have a pretty good trunk, much larger than the convertibles.

[@3ducs]

Coolant pipes are the only major issue, and replacing them is a pretty big job since you have to remove the SC. But DIY maintenance is super easy on these cars. Oil changes take about 20 min with an oil extractor since the filter is right on top of the engine!

[@RandomPunter-xo9tx]

Just put my green Ftype V8s under cover for winter and I'm missing it - hence finding this video...Can't wait for next summer. It's not the sharpest handling car ever, but decent enough. The main benefit is it has some sort of character that I feel the Germans lack.

As cool as the exhaust is, the newer f-types are better for my tastes…You still get some great burbles/pops/bangs, but not constantly all the time like these older ones…I feel that would get a bit old for me. On the new cars it surprises you here and there with some, which keeps it novel. I also prefer the AWD versions of this car. They get the power down a lot better, while still maintaining a RWD biased feel. It’s a great AWD implementation. And having some drama while not driving at the limit is what make these cars fun in the street compared to some other choices.
