The new 2020 Jaguar F-Type coupe has arrived. Big news? This facelifted Jaguar F-Type no longer comes with a V6 option, so the engines are a 296bhp (300hp) four-cylinder, or a V8 available in two power outputs.
The Porsche 911-rivalling V8 model can be had with 444bhp or 568bhp, and with four or rear wheel drive.
We've opted for a full-fat F-Type R, which is the supercharged 575bhp option. This F-Type 0-60mph time is just 3.5 seconds, and the F-Type R's top speed is some 186mph (300kph).
Join us as we test the latest Jaguar F-Type which, in R form, in the UK costs from a fairly hefty £97,280, and see if it is a better car than the Porsche 911 or BMW M8.

My passion and dream, always thinking about her. She is so beautiful
Depreciation is your friend....
JLR - as ever on a relative shoe-string budget - has delivered a fine update on the whole, I think it's fair to say.
Speccing the 'cooking' V8 sensibly (ie. leaving aside the ludicrously priced full leather and 'individual' colours options) can get you a very nice slice of 'old school' british sportscar, comfortably under-cutting the Porsche 992 equivalent by an easy £ 15-20K. Not too be sniffed at.... even if the F-Type is inferior on every objective metric.
However, you're not going to write a cheque for RRP are you ? No: you're going to do the sensible thing and sprounce into a JLR dealership in 12 months time when they'll give you a further £ 7-10 K off. Unfortunately, when you're sharing market space with Porsche's 911, this is forever your fate.
Less costs more?
So not as effective or accomodating as a 911 (or Audi R8) but costs more to buy and to run.
Great car then!
