That V8 noise is absolutely magnificent, but the V6 sounds great to me as well!

@solarbox 11 жыл бұрын

To me it seems Harry is smiling a lot more riding in the V6. That noise is so amazing from the V6

That V6 definitely sounds more refined and exciting than the V8, imo.

anyone else notice the look of awe on his face when he hears the v6 in high revs? Even he was surprised! Love that sound!

@ThePolarOObear 11 жыл бұрын

I never was a huge fan of jaguar, BUT: GOD, this car - especially in the black/grey colour combination you've mentioned - is just STUNNING. Finally Jag really made a car that can be easily considered ,,desireable as HELL''. Great job! I'm in love.

@TWISM1337 11 жыл бұрын

Great video, as always, Harry! Gotta say that I love the sounds coming out of both of the cars. The v6 just tickles my fancy that little bit extra. They've really hit the jackpot with that raspy, hollow, shouty v6 sound!

I chose the 2014 V6 S Spyder. Love it. Its been dreamy for years. Its lighter w a higher pitch purr.

I honestly prefer the V6 sound to the V8. Sounds a bit more exotic. Both lovely cars though, new dream car for sure.

The Mito was Harry's latest addition in Fast Fleet. It's a twin air if memory serves, so a tiny 900cc but turbocharged and makes 85bhp. It's a very characterful engine.

Gotta' keep in mind it's a convertible, too. Hard to get truly proper noise dampening in a tiny cabin with a retractable top! The camera's position on the dash may also have something to do with additional air cycling around the cabin's far edges, catching additional noise.

@BestCarSound 11 жыл бұрын

Nice filming at 2:48. The scenery is classic UK - mega. Amazed about the hat and how the glasses didn't fall off when driving w/out roof at that speed (looking fast). Mike's got solid, sort of elegant, silent voice, but can't hear properly on vid. Fan of V6.

Excellent diary as always from Mr Metcalfe. Fascinating prospects for the new Jag - will potential 911 owners be tempted? Time will tell but that noise alone will win buyers for sure! And what a glorious noise! I love the rear end look but still undecided on the front 'face'. Sure it will grow on me.

You know, I think Jag has finally made a new version of the E-type. Love the noise, but wish the headlights weren't like the California.

@Nirvash24 11 жыл бұрын

v8 s starts at $92k. XKR starts at $97k. two totally different cars and but worth the price. no maintance other them oil changes. Jaguar is stepping up it's game but they also need to make a car that is low to mid $30k again. X-type sold well(of course it has it's problems but owners love them) and i hope jaguar will make a one soon.

@LXnastynotch93 11 жыл бұрын

The V6 sounds great for a V6, but good Lord does that V8 sound absolutely amazing. A proper small two-seater sports car, with 495 horsepower and a convertible top. For around $100K that's a hell of a car.

Went to the new Range Rover launch event and the new F-Type was also their, peaking away in the corner, loverly car but i was staggered to see that the V8 S has an average price tag of 89k which i feel this makes the XK redundant (apart from it has two more seats than this)! Would you pick this over a AM V8V or R8 which are both around this price range? I personally would rather have a V8V however im sure Jaguar will sell many of these!
