Fair enough, so with the 6 twin turbo unit from Jaguar find its place in the F-Types too or is the future just gonna be the 4 pot and the BMW V8 in F-Types then?
For me it makes the current V8 and V6 F-Types a great buy for those wanting a car with a seriously good sound track and a proper hot rod.

These cars also have hydraulic steering too unlike the later 16MY on cars which have electric steering.

It’s the 2nd one 
And 6 years.
must have been distracted making a proper EV rather than sharing kit with Toyota

I think platform sharing is a positive thing, and Toyota have taken it and made it their own effectively.It’s the 2nd one

Quick phone snap before it went dark from collecting it yesterday, now filthy already!
a fellow Livingstonian, i'll need to keep my eyes peeled, will give you toot if i see you
I love it. Quiet, comfortable, very well built and 100% torque with zero lag from zero revs. It's perfect for my 25-mile return commute.
The range is appalling though, being 60Ah without the range extender, but it's not our only car.
And now it's got the winters on, it will drift everywhere
Mind you, it weaves all over the place on motorways at 70+ and it has very quick steering.
They're practically giving away new i3s at the moment if you qualify for the BMW loyalty incentive, sadly I don't or I'd probably get one.
By give away I mean $130/month on a 2 year lease with no money down (no sales tax on BEVs in NJ). I don't think they sell very well in the US.

I never realised they were that quick!
Quick off the mark but soon dies off. Had the same in my 328i a while back!
Of the line they're quick.. but not too higher speeds.
Simply put there's no real delay between accelerator and wheels hence the instant power

Yeah, that instant torque those electric cars are mental off the line.
Not mine, but the car I'm currently driving while I get the V70R sorted. Getting dejavu.
Its only a 316i Compact, but its actually pretty nice to drive. Never thought much of the 1.9L M42 engine until I drove this. Its really not bad at all...
