This was a car that made everybody crazy. It caused people to splash the cash even after only seeing it at a motor show. The design, performance and quality was way ahead of its time, no wonder why it appealed to so many. A lot has happened in the meantime though. It has been over half a century since then and have we barely seen a Jag shine as hard as the E-type must have done those days. However, don&#8217;t leave in a strop just yet, \u00a0Jaguar made a good deal with Tata Motors. Give Jaguar more money, and good things start to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px\">They call it the Jaguar F-Type, and the good news is, we&#8217;ve driven it!

small, but don&#8217;t take it for a midget, because if anything, it&#8217;s got to be one of the most powerful cars (less than \u00a3100K) on the market! And what sort of punch does it pack under the hood? Well, the Jaguar F-Type comes with 3 different engines, a 3.0-liter V6, \u00a03.0-liter Supercharged\u00a0V6 and an absolutely mad 5.0-liter Supercharged\u00a0V8 .<\/p>\n<div  class='tabcontainer av-33w20d-8a0b516270887947343949c1cfd4d572 top_tab  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_heading ' role='tablist'>\n<section class='av_tab_section av_tab_section av-2yrarx-d9202097bbe6f87f423bb858d291a369'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='tab active_tab' role='tab' tabindex='0' data-fake-id='#tab-id-1' aria-controls='tab-id-1-content'  itemprop=\"headline\" >V6<\/div><div id='tab-id-1-content' class='tab_content active_tab_content' aria-hidden=\"false\"><div class='tab_inner_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\"><span style=\"font-family: LeagueGothicRegular\">V6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The 3.0-liter V6 is the most sensible out of the bunch, it doesn&#8217;t crackle, pop and fart as much as the other two, it&#8217;s the more mature and grown up one out of the lot. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t kill most cars off the line at a traffic light grand-prix. \u00a0The 3.0-liter V6 packs 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft torque, which is quite adequate in this day and age of ridiculous horsepower figures. However, if you&#8217;re planning to be a complete yob with the least powerful engine out the bunch, expect to hit 60 mph front naught in just 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 161 mph. All-in-all, the V6 is a good engine, but it&#8217;s just missing that X-Factor, it doesn&#8217;t have as much character as the other two.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_tab_section av_tab_section av-2qqagd-2f76f491ff8c25797a06319fb7d7899c'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='tab' role='tab' tabindex='0' data-fake-id='#tab-id-2' aria-controls='tab-id-2-content'  itemprop=\"headline\" >V6 S<\/div><div id='tab-id-2-content' class='tab_content' aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class='tab_inner_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\"><span style=\"font-family: LeagueGothicRegular\">V6 S<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The V6 S model features a 3.0-liter V6 which is found in the V6 model only this time it is Supercharged. How does a supercharger enhance its performance? Well get this, the V6 S is up from 335 horsepower and 300lb-ft torque to 375 horsepower and 340 lb-ft torque. It may not sound like much, but it makes all the difference. The V6 S is definitely a V6 with an ASBO, it&#8217;s the engine that shouts and sends pops, bangs and crackles to its centered aligned twin rear pipes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Even though it&#8217;s up 50 horsepower and only 10 more lb-ft torque, it feels much more than that, the V6 S does a great job of smacking your head on the headrest during acceleration. This engine will make the car do 0-60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and help it to reach a top speed of 171 mph.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Definitely one of the best V6 engines ever made.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_tab_section av_tab_section av-2lcm8d-e0d564de53c6766291f5163d744d861f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='tab' role='tab' tabindex='0' data-fake-id='#tab-id-3' aria-controls='tab-id-3-content'  itemprop=\"headline\" >V8 S<\/div><div id='tab-id-3-content' class='tab_content' aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class='tab_inner_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\"><span style=\"font-family: LeagueGothicRegular\">V8 S<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Where do we begin with the V8 S? This engine (which is a detuned XFR engine) has just got to be THE most brutal engine ever made, forget about your BMW M&#8217;s and Mercedes-AMG&#8217;s, this V8 engine is absolutely savage! It makes your ears bleed from its clipping rumble and your eyes will end up on the back of your head with the way this engine makes the car accelerate! It really goes to show how different the V8 and V6 are. The V6 delivers its performance a bit more smoothly, the V8 delivers it in the same manner as a machine gun.<\/p>\n<p>So what sort of brutality does the V8 S pack? Well, we&#8217;re talking 488 horsepower and 461 lb-ft torque! Quite crazy right? Well, the craziness doesn&#8217;t stop there, 0-60 mph comes at a super-quick 4.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 186 mph!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\"><span style=\"font-family: LeagueGothicRegular\">HANDLING<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Jaguar F-Type features double-wishbone suspension at the front and rear with adaptive dampers and fully adjustable suspensions settings to keep the geekiest of drivers happy. As well as tinkering and tweaking the suspension settings, the F-Type has a total of 25 different driving mods to suit all road conditions and driving styles. On the road, it feels very different to most cars today, the V6 is the cruiser out of the bunch, adequate performance and handling, just a car you can use everyday.<\/p>\n<p>The V6 S isn&#8217;t so subtle, we think it&#8217;s the perfect blend between handling and horsepower, think of it as a &#8216;handling to horsepower ratio&#8217;, it&#8217;s just the perfect amount, you know exactly what the car wants to do every time you go around a corner. The V8 S on the other hand is much more different. That &#8216;handling to horsepower ratio&#8217; just doesn&#8217;t matter with this car because if anything, it has more horsepower than it can actually handle, this car will drift at any given second, it&#8217;ll spin its tires in third gear if you push it hard enough! The ultimate hooning car!<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2gtg05-ee91358e82713ed2e72b0e58437c98a0\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-2gtg05-ee91358e82713ed2e72b0e58437c98a0{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-2gtg05-ee91358e82713ed2e72b0e58437c98a0 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-2gtg05-ee91358e82713ed2e72b0e58437c98a0 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-2gtg05-ee91358e82713ed2e72b0e58437c98a0 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_tab_container  el_before_av_image '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >EXTERIOR<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-28sl31-d2290612077fae2c47e920378157fd40\">\n.avia-image-container.av-28sl31-d2290612077fae2c47e920378157fd40 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-28sl31-d2290612077fae2c47e920378157fd40 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-28sl31-d2290612077fae2c47e920378157fd40 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_progress '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2493 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2493 avia_image ' src='http:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/go_v6s-710x575.jpg' alt='' title='go_v6s'   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-sub-av-248krh-fd524720d1e24d61fddb3a13179d377e\">\n#top .avia-progress-bar-container .avia-progress-bar.av-3geb45-d664f056bac9a9b2291255ca66991d70 .bar{\nwidth:90%;\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-color:#D7D7D7;\n}\n#top .avia-progress-bar-container .avia-progress-bar.av-1x2vr9-81d8fb698a8f9126d12a3cba17132b23 .bar{\nwidth:100%;\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-color:#D7D7D7;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-progress-bar-container av-248krh-fd524720d1e24d61fddb3a13179d377e av-striped-bar av-animated-bar avia_animate_when_almost_visible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_slideshow '><div class='avia-progress-bar av-1x2vr9-81d8fb698a8f9126d12a3cba17132b23 icon-bar-no silver-bar icon-bar-no'><div class=\"progressbar-title-wrap\"><div class='progressbar-icon'><span class='progressbar-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><div class='progressbar-title'>10\/10<\/div><\/div><div class=\"progress\"><div class=\"bar-outer\"><div class='bar' data-progress='100'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px\">It seems the F-Type has to live up to a lot seeing as its predecessor, the E-Type, was a design success back in the 1960&#8217;s.. In fact, even Enzo Ferrari himself said that the E-Type was the most beautiful car ever made. Forward to 2013 and we have the F-Type, is it a design success? Is it a car that a high-ranking founder from another manufacturer say it&#8217;s the most beautiful car ever made? Well, in this day and age of rivalry and hatred, we don&#8217;t think so, but to our \u00a0eye, it has the potential to put Aston Martin&#8217;s to shame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It has the same key design elements from the E-Type, such as the long bonnet, big shoulders and distinctive taillights. All-in-all, it just looks like Jaguar done an absolutely epic job on modernizing that old brute.<\/p>\n<p>After that, the similarities end, the F-Type is absolutely brand new from the ground up, and the higher you go with the engines, the better the exterior gets. The V6 and V6 S just about only have rim sizes to set them apart, but once you get onto the V8 S, you get some mean black rims, unique S badging (also on V6 S) and quad tailpipes instead of the usual two, which obviously helps that beatly V8 breath.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get confused though, this may be only slightly bigger than a Boxster, but it is no Boxster rival. If it was, the Boxster would be put to shame in no time. Despite the size, this car is actually a Porsche 911 rival, though it&#8217;s hard to believe, Jaguar have almost cracked it.<\/p>\n<div  class='avia-slideshow

It incorporates details from its big daddy, the XJ, and the odd thing is, it fits very well! The seats are very different to other Jags as they are very supporting sport seats that hold you in place very well while blasting around a corner. The vents are electronically funcioned like the XF, only instead of flipping around they now rise up from the dash, a bit like Audi&#8217;s sound system.<\/p>\n<p>The leather used on the interior is very high quality, almost Bentley like. When you look at a roadster, and then you&#8217;er about to climb in, only one thing goes through your head, &#8220;Will I fit?&#8221;, but this is no MX-5, almost anyone can get in to an F-Type and go.<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mnirx-241713146c70ae835bb4bf919a3a36b1\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mnirx-241713146c70ae835bb4bf919a3a36b1{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mnirx-241713146c70ae835bb4bf919a3a36b1 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mnirx-241713146c70ae835bb4bf919a3a36b1 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mnirx-241713146c70ae835bb4bf919a3a36b1 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_progress  el_before_av_progress '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >VERDICT<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-sub-av-g6otx-2504a3d907990b18e271e26d895514b1\">\n#top .avia-progress-bar-container .avia-progress-bar.av-3geb45-d664f056bac9a9b2291255ca66991d70 .bar{\nwidth:90%;\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-color:#D7D7D7;\n}\n#top .avia-progress-bar-container .avia-progress-bar.av-1x2vr9-81d8fb698a8f9126d12a3cba17132b23 .bar{\nwidth:100%;\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-color:#D7D7D7;\n}\n#top .avia-progress-bar-container .avia-progress-bar.av-pixrp-3c0404d074a88a5b5a802331781e6a6c .bar{\nwidth:80%;\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-color:#D7D7D7;\n}\n#top .avia-progress-bar-container .avia-progress-bar.av-8fhwl-b06b14db7fba297de5080355cb9e8eef .bar{\nwidth:100%;\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-image: linear-gradient( -45deg, #D7D7D7 25%, #F9F9F9 25%, #F9F9F9 50%, #D7D7D7 50%, #D7D7D7 75%, #F9F9F9 75%, #F9F9F9 );\nbackground-color:#D7D7D7;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-progress-bar-container av-g6otx-2504a3d907990b18e271e26d895514b1 av-striped-bar av-animated-bar avia_animate_when_almost_visible  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_heading  avia-builder-el-last '><div class='avia-progress-bar av-8fhwl-b06b14db7fba297de5080355cb9e8eef icon-bar-no silver-bar icon-bar-no'><div class=\"progressbar-title-wrap\"><div class='progressbar-icon'><span class='progressbar-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><div class='progressbar-title'>10\/10<\/div><\/div><div class=\"progress\"><div class=\"bar-outer\"><div class='bar' data-progress='100'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Hmm, what do we think of the F-Type?
