2020 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Review- Prettier, faster and louder than ever

The designers at Jaguar must have had sleepless nights trying to figure just how they were going to improve upon one of the best car designs of the modern era.

The answer was, thankfully, to not do terribly much at all. The new F-Type is instantly recognisable as a modern Jaguar, and, if anything, it's sleeker and prettier than ever.

Under the bonnet of this R Coupe is the familiar 5.0-litre supercharged V8, now tuned to produce 575PS, or a massive 423kW.

In this video, our video guy Ciro De Siena takes the new generation F-Type on some of Cape Town's most beautiful roads in a bid not to enjoy himself too much.

Your sense of humor is priceless 🤣. That being said this is a dope beast 👁

[DanielSadjadian]

Looks as beautiful as it sounds, every angle is just gorgeous 😍

I live near Jaguar/Land Rover experience, these things wake me up every other day 😭😍😍 but for R2.4Million? That’s excessive.

You don't need to hit the exhaust button, when you go into Dynamic mode the exhausts activates by itself - as it should!

I have a respect for that brand, hosts one thee best events and enters it's cars stock std and perfoms very well, the FType R is still one of the finest.

Before the June 2016 quieting software, F-Types were much louder especially in the overrun which crackled and popped beautifully all the way down to idle. On throttle, they sound much better and louder early in the RPM range. Later cars are only as loud near WOT.

Lol, Ciro always want to call these cars by their “full names” 🤣🤣

This V8 sounds brutal! Can’t avoid the price tag though, don’t even if we will be seeing a lot of these on the road. It’s just beautifully sculpted though, a near-masterpiece.

Thanks for being civilised and talking in kilowatts and not one of the various versions of hp which way too many car channels stuck in the 19th century do! 🤘🏽

[NVERLIFT]

Ciro is staying calm, but this thing is a beast 😎

[IvanSamuelll]

I've heard that there is no longer an F-type SVR anymore since the engine is already used in the F-type R, what other engines could they use? the project 8' engine?

[avuazahc]
