Hurray, at long last. Means the lockdown will now be over.

Not a huge fan of Jaguar, but I must say that the F-type nailed it design wise.

F-type and Maseratti GT Coupe are arguably the two most beautiful cars in the world imho.

That looks awesome, I'd love one in black with yellow callipers just like the one in the link :cool:

That's one of the most beautiful cars ever designed IMO.

Well done Jaguar, well done.

1 year to the day bump, its got new powertrain options.

Anyone fancy a manual?

and 4wd

They are lovely cars but £100k with options is too much for a Jag in my view.

Having sat in several variants and flavours of f-types, I can honestly say I would not hesitate to spend 100k on one (If I had that sort of money

)

Does the manual come in all flavours? The V8 R manual would be a handful!

V6 flavour only.

AWD was also announced with Bloodhound SSC sponsorship a week or so ago. JLR have now confirmed the fuel pump for the project is powered by the AJ133 Supercharged V8 in the F Type R.

You mean they're not using the F1 engine any more? That was one of the coolest things about it!

Would you pay that for an Aston Martin ?

Hmmm...
personally the EJ200 engine and hybrid rocket rock the cool wall in my book

Yeah F1 engine and by sounds of it the very expensive gearbox for it now relegated the scrap bin / paper weight.

Very tempted on the F-Type. I've just started working for a JLR IT supplier and was this week informed about our discount ...

Damn you! I want a manual V6S now, but finance would be crippling!

EDIT: Yup, over £75,000 once I've added a couple of extras. Better enter the lottery this weekend!

If it's the same one employees get, then you'll be out of luck, as F-Type's currently not on there unfortunately

Ahh that's unfortunate.

Not sure if the discount varies, but he got 15% off his new Jag a few months ago. Not an F-Type, though.
