I just got the coupe and could not be any happier. The quality is top shelf. The power is now and makes you to want to get on it a bit. The rear is just big and looks like it is ready for any road at any speed. Supposedly it is wider than the Vette. In black it just looks forbidding. The interior is comfortable and it is setup so that you wear it. It does not have that sedan look or feel. For the money you can't beat it. I think it sits at the base of the supercars but still has that muscle car power feel. The body is all aluminum! The 2018s also have the hood vents spaced further apart and have a better design in my opinion. The left and right air intakes how have horizontal splitters giving a more aggressive look. Plus there is room in the hatch for luggage for a few day trip without having pack the passenger side. For the money, it is a steal.

@jayj5075 23 күн бұрын
Just bought a 2014 RWD 5.0 V8R coupe, coincidentally in white. Such a beauty and an utter BEAST but surprisingly stable even under full throttle with such an AWESOME noise. Pure grin factor. I now always drive it in 'dynamic' mode despite originally being worried about sounding like a hooligan. 34mpg on long runs is very doable. The 8 speed (!) gearbox is incredible - never leaves you waiting for power. Only downside seems to be a bit more tyre noise from the 295's at the rear than you'd like but it needs the grip with all that power under your right foot. Enjoy.

Same as mine other than mines a 2017 AWD. Most mental car I have ever driven. I have had some seriously powerful cars including a Skyline gtr with 700 bhp. & a 1200s multistrada. Me & my girlfriend do little road trips in it. Amazing how a car will zoom up behind you & then sit there taking pics before overtaking & reving the nuts off there cars. Why. You can never better the sound of the V8 with the valves open.

@TheCarGuysTV 6 жыл бұрын
This car is badged as an R. I believe when they first came out the V8s were badged with R and the V6s were S. this may have now changed with the introduction of the 4 wheel drive and coupe models. I agree about the best-kept secret - what a car for now £40k
@MrRubbish12345 5 жыл бұрын
TheCarGuys.TV this is the original v8-s which is the 490(ish) bhp. Was the top of the line model over the v6 and the v6-s. 2015 onwards the R was released with the 550BHP engine as a RWD and then later updated with the AWD. Currently own a v6-s but the v8r is the only one to own to be honest.

At launch, the entry-level model used Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine, producing a maximum power output of 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp), enabling the car to accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 5.1 seconds, and attain a top speed of 259 km/h (161 mph). The F-Type S has the same engine uprated at 380 PS (279 kW; 375 hp), allowing the car to attain a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph), and achieve acceleration from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 4.8 seconds. Next in the range is the V8 F-Type R, with Jaguar’s 5.0-litre, 550 PS (405 kW; 542 hp) supercharged V8 petrol engine, allowing the car to attain a top speed of 299 km/h (186 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 4.0 seconds.

@@TheCarGuysTV ehm... not exactly. The 2013-2014 V8 convertible was named "V8 S" with 495PS / 488bhp. That's what you have tested. There was no coupe at that time. The V8 coupe came one year later and it was the first one named "R". The convertible at that time was still a "V8 S" for a short period, then it became an R as well.
