Jaguar F-TYPE

If the F-Type is to be sent off in fine style, then the raucous R-Dynamic P450 RWD would seem to be the fitting farewell

Just one V8 survives for the 2021 Jaguar F-Type range. A rare and special beast indeed. We drive the mighty cat!

Here’s a list of vehicles axed in Australia over the past 12 months – or are on their way out the showroom door.

As Jaguar prepares to go electric in 2025, the supercharged V8 F-Type sports car is nearing the end of the road. Orders for the final model year are open now.

Jaguar makes some seriously nice cars, but without breaking the law, it's hard to unleash them on your everyday roads. This is where the Jaguar Experience comes into play.

Forza Horizon 3 is one of the most anticipated video games to be released this year, and – thanks to Xbox – CarAdvice got a sneak preview of the game and some one-on-one time with one of the key people behind it, all while taking in the gorgeous views and divine roads of Victoria's surf coast in a selection of performance-car perfection.

In early 2016 I replaced my XKR supercharged 5.0 V8 with the F Type supercharged 3.0 V6 S. I had expected to keep the XKR for a long time but ultimately a combination of a roving eye and outdated media defeated that. I wont say that I went out and checked all of the different GT cars on offer before settling on the F Type. I always expected to eventually move to one as I am quite the Jaguar fan, although the XKR was such a good car as a daily driver that the F Type was going to involve some compromise. Ultimately I wanted something very pretty, nice to drive, with modern tech, front engined (for the shape), and with a good soundtrack. This ticked all of the boxes at a price significantly lower (or an age significantly newer) than anything else I liked, and after driving it and realising that it is much more comfortable than I expected, I was pretty much sold. The car is truly awesome to drive. The soundtrack is insane, and you get it at street legal speeds so you dont have to drive like a fool to get the joy. It handles brilliantly (but it is said not as good as the Cayman) and the power is very usable, essentially it can be driven enthusiastically without danger although the back end does still step out - which is a characteristic of Jags - but nowhere near as much as the much more powerful XKR. Ultimately though the combination of a better gearbox (8 speed auto, lightning fast) and faster rear suspension means that there is plenty of traction, so the 0 - 100 sprint time is better than could be achieved in the XKR. The car has no space behind the front seats, not even a parcel shelf. There is some storage in the front but nearly everything has to go in the hatch which has plenty of capacity once the spare comes out. I can fit in a carton of beer and 3 cases of wine, with room for some snacks as well. Or the weeks shopping, depending on priorities. So as a replacement for the XKR it is essentially quicker, steers better, handles better, and arguably looks better, the interior is much more modern and the infotainment is much better (but no voice activated phone!?!). The 6 sounds awesome and the sound comes into the cabin (unlike the XKR which was relatively quiet inside) though personally I prefer the sound of a decent 8. It is pretty economical (around 12l/100km city driving) and much cheaper to register and insure than the V8. On the downside the performance seats are very firm though starting to soften up, and had a silly seam in the middle that initially rubs your spine. It came with a sports body kit that is too wide and makes getting in and out of the car ungainly - personally I'd do without it. I have a slight regret that I didn't buy it in a manual which I think would suit the character of the car better (as good as the auto is, and it is great), though that would be a decision that the heart made over the head because I'd be slaughtered at trade in time. But for a fun, gorgeous and relatively practical GT which oozes class and can be used as a daily driver, this is really worth looking at.
