Saw and heard my first F-Type R Coupe today. What a machine.

Not liking the single fin look, a double fin would have looked nicer, I know it's a D-type Homage but not pulling it off in my opinion.
 
I wonder if this production Project 7 will serve as a starting template for a future F-Type R-S.
 
I heard this car on acceleration some times. Dear god, does it sound good. I probably think this is one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard.
 
I saw one of these in traffic for the first time. Unfortunately, we were at a stop light in a busy intersection when the left-turn greens turned and it ran the red light and almost caused a huge accident with the turning cars. Completely oblivious!

Then, further up the road, the guy slowed down in the middle lane and then just did a U turn out of nowhere. The driver must have been completely stoned on ludes or way drunk. Completely unbelievable.
 
This F-Type R Coupe in French racing blue please :drool: and add some dark color rims.
I started to doubt Jaguar before the F-Type, but this is just 👍
 
A week or two ago, I finally saw an F-Type on the road. It was a white convertible Jaguar F-Type. Good grief, she was gorgeous! It was only brief, but it was great just seeing one of those being driven. I said on Facebook once that the F-Type is one of the most gorgeous Jaguars ever since the XJ220 (one of my all-time favorite cars). But really, it may be one of the most gorgeous Jaguars since the late 1990s XK8 and XKR.
 
I've seen a few of these about now and they never stop drawing attention from both me and passers by. The guy driving it today was fairly calm and composed but the previous spot was awesome as the driver overtook me and let off the throttle as he passed my window, causing the special popping and burbling overrun to hit me right in the face. He then continued to slow down and floor it for the next 2 miles just to cause the pops and bangs :lol: I definitely prefer the sound of the V6.

Guy in the town where I live done the same when I was at the bus-stop waiting to go to school. It. Was. Amazing.
 
It most definitely would benefit from the extra traction, seeing that everyone complaints it being bit too unruly under throttle.
 
If it wants to compete with the 911, it should have AWD available. People use 911's as their sole cars year round, and the AWD on some models is surely part of that reason.
 
In summer the RWD version would be more fun, but on a snow and ice AWD makes more sense.
