If open-air motoring is not to your taste, a coupe version of the delightful Jaguar F-Type will give you the head-turning styling and outstanding performance you so desire. The all-aluminum F-Type Coupe delivers the uncompromised design vision of the Jaguar C-X16 concept, and complements the existing F-Type Convertible.
This Jaguar’s styling is a marvel. Its beauty draws stares. It features an athletic stance, sitting low with muscular front fenders and rear haunches, an oversized front grille, and aggressive air intakes.
The 495-horsepower V8 S found in the convertible has been replaced in the Coupe with a 550-horsepower 5-liter Supercharged V8 R. Priced at $99,000 it’s a magnificent road car that will easily find its way to a bevy of race tracks hither and yon.
The F-Type R Coupe according to Jaguar reaches 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds, although in testing it achieved a time of 3.6 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. It takes a mere 2.4 seconds to achieve 50-75 mph passing acceleration.
We found it one of the most invigorating driving experiences we’ve enjoyed in recent times, perhaps since we drove the convertible version several months ago. Power delivery is linear and reaching highway speed is remarkably effortless. Flick a switch into the Dynamic mode, and the sports car turns into a wild, snarling beast.
