The F-type is definitely one of the most underrated sportscars. It doesn't deserve to be so forgotten

[TD]

Still such a timeless design. Jaguar has always made some of the best looking sportscars in the world. Will miss this car.

[AuldeyST]

I remember seeing the F-Type with Tim Hiddleston commercial, such a very memorable car, but it sorta ran under the radar for the past 7-8 years since in launched. Now that it's going to go away, I definitely will miss it.

I recently bought a 2016 3.0 S manual transmission Coupe, triple black. I'd heard that Jaguar was going EV, I will never get an EV car, at 77yo I'll never have to. With the exhaust on loud mode and a manual transmission that V6 howl is bliss. 380HP is quite sufficient in the foothills of the New Hampshire White Mountains where I live.

A beautiful car in all its guises. As the owner of an older V6s, I shed a tear at the passing of a great object of automotive design (kudos to Mr Ian Callum) Who cares about the dated cockpit?! I’m too busy looking through the windscreen, and listening to the symphonic exhaust notes.

[robertcalinescu]

Such an underrated car and sad to see it going. The way I always saw this car was like a gentlemen's car, a competitor to the Carrera but with more soul and personality. Shame a lot of people follow their head and not their hearts when buying a sportscar. I followed my heart, I drive the V6s, the best sounding V6 on the market.

[toobasaurus]

Love the F Type sound. A neighbour has one and you always hear it coming and going.

[robcioffi]

Absolutely love mine, feels special every time you drive it...will definitely be holding onto it

[Santoshlv]

Many cars including the Ferrari Roma, Masterati MC 12, even some Astons that follow design cues of the Ftype. The sincerest form of flattery is imitation and in that regard the F type's design is a testament to it's beauty and timelessness. It's one of those cars that possess existential value.

I'm keeping my 16 FTR convertible until the wheels fall off. The most engaging and exciting luxury car I've owned. My old Evo X was just as engaging, but it is about as comfortable as falling down a long set of stairs. Plus, you're talking about the car that single-handedly revived the pop n' bang exhaust notes. There are tons of imitators out there today, but I still find none that can do it as classy as Jag's. The original pre-facelift design I think will age well too, but obviously it's subjective.

[DanielSadjadian]

It's very sad to see the 5.0 V8 Supercharged engine go, the power delivery and the sound make it so sweet to drive. At least it had a good run, 10+ years in production 👍

[oliverlanchester]

Absolutely stunningly car, i remember when i first saw the R, went past me, sounded like a gatling gun, the whine and the crackles. I happy to say i own an xfr because of it. The engine is a masterpiece.

[RootBeerGMT]

Just got a 2018 R Dynamic V6 coupe. It’s major silly ass fun! Seriously, you get in it, hit the pipes and put it into sport and it pops and hisses—just makes you smile

[frederickspeller]

Given the stupid campaign they just rolled out yes, this is indeed the last real jag.

[AdmiralGarrett]

Who’s here after jaguar is officially dead

[mys]

Good to see and hear you Rory. Always liked the F-type, such a gorgeous and underrated sportscar... Best Jag ever ? Great car❤

[alexemmitt]

The F-Type is a car that will only appreciate as it is discontinued. It's amazing styling looks great today, and will look even better in 50 years when these things become rare. I bought it's cousin, a 2017 Jaguar XE35t AWD R-Sport sedan, and my car is tuned to 561HP on the same 6 Cyl platform found in many F-types (AJ126). What a car! 0-60 in 3.6 seconds.

[thezanzibarbarian]

The E-Type was on production for 13 years from 1961 to 1974. It's probably Jaguar's most well known car. Ever.
And this F-Types been in production for 10 years. While not as well known or loved as the E-Type, it's definitely a great car too. And why do Jaguar V8's sound so angry? 8-))...
So RIP Jaguar *_"Type"_* engined sports cars. You will not be forgotten 8-))...

[menZ]

One of the most beautiful cars ever made 😍

[Unlimited]

I remember when the F type was released in 2013. Fell in love with immediately and never fell out. I don't think there is a car in the past 10 years that has sounded so good and had such personality. Maybe the Lambo Huracan. But that F-Type v8 engine, especially from the original, was just something so special; reminiscent of old muscle cars. It is my favorite car of all time. I'm sad to see it being pushed out for electrics but I understand why.
