Design the most beautiful sports car, with purity, proportion and presence that's unmistakably Jaguar.
The goal Jaguar set for the new F-Type.
The F-Type R Dynamic is the entry point to the new two-seater sports-car range. You get a solid level of equipment for your money, including the following:
A switchable active exhaust, R-Dynamic body kit, LED headlights with signature DRLs, sport seats, six-way electric front seats, Jaguar's Interactive Driver Display, a Meridian sound system and R-Dynamic branded metal tread plates.
The F-Type as standard also receives rain-sensing wipers, a solar attenuating windscreen, heated power door mirrors, flush door handles, LED tail-lights, a chrome exhaust finisher, passive suspension, an open diff, rain/ice/snow modes, dynamic stability control (DSC), an electric parking brake (EPB), an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD).
There's also a power-adjustable steering column, an auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror, an overhead lighting console, deployable air-vents, cabin lighting, single-zone climate control, twin cup holders, metal pedals and a low-profile cubby box.
The infotainment system is a 10-inch touchscreen with the aforementioned Interactive Driver Display. There's also connected navigation pro, the online pack (in other Jags this enables a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot), a smartphone pack, DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, power sockets plus USB and 12V plugs in the centre console.
Safety is decent, with the following standard features:
First Edition F-Type models get 12-way, instead of six-way, adjustable seats. They also have 20-inch, five-spoke alloys with a diamond-turned finish. The interior is unique to the First Edition. You get Windsor leather performance seats, a model-specific aluminium instrument panel, a leather steering wheel with alloy spokes, aluminium gearshift paddles and First-Edition branding on metal tread plates.
As a V6 F-Type, it has twin centre-mounted exhausts. You also get adaptive dynamics. The mirrors are power-folding, heated and auto-dimming. There are steering column adjustment memory settings as well as upgraded suede cloth on the vanity mirrors.
One of the key reasons to go for the R is its mammoth V8 and AWD system. You also get red brake callipers (underlining the sporty look), with larger disc brakes, pixel LED headlights and an R-specific interior. There's also an aluminium centre console with R branding and R-badging on the leather steering wheel. If that wasn't enough, you also get quad tailpipes and configurable dynamics.
For the 2.0-litre F-Types, the maximum speed is rated at 250km/h. 0-100km/h takes a modest 5.7 seconds, thanks to 221kW kicking in at 5,500rpm. Peak torque of 400Nm is available from 1,500-4,500rpm.
V6 F-Types will top out at 275km/h and blast from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds. Max power of 208kW is delivered at 6,250rpm. There's 460Nm between 4,500-5,000rpm.
The F-Type R keeps going to 300km/h and shaves the 0-100km/h down to a mere 3.7 seconds. The 5.0-litre V8 makes 423kW at a roaring 6,500rpm and max torque is 700Nm. Peak torque is available across a wide range of 3,500-5,000rpm. V8s have a gross vehicle weight of just 2,150kg.
We'll try get our hands-on the new F-Type as soon as we can for a car review.
