2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S Review

    The new Jaguar F-Type is one of the best looking British cars on the market, and has some pretty interesting heritage, including the E-Type, which is considered to be the most beautiful cars of all time. And the F-Type looks like a concept car, which can also be said for Land Rover's Evoque compact. There are three engine choices: a 3.0 liter V6 that produces 340 hp and 332 pound-feet of torque. The "S" trim level adds 40 hp and 7 lb-feet of torque to that V6. But the V8 S changes the engine entirely, replacing the 3.0 liter V6 with the famed Jaguar/Land Rover supercharged 5.0 liter V8 that produces 495 hp and 460 pound-feet of toque. Jaguar's claimed 0-60 time for that car is about 4.2 seconds, but Car&Driver got a much better 3.9, so around that area. The interior looks a lot like the XK's, which is a compliment. The navigation is a tiny bit slow, but works nonetheless and has everything you need. This car's main competitors are the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG and the Porsche Boxster/Cayman S. BTW: Sorry I haven't posted anything in a couple of days (been very busy).
