Finally Driving The NEW Jaguar F-Type! [Is It Better Or Worse?]

3 years after I sold my beloved F-Type R, I finally got the chance to check out Jaguar's new and apparently improved version!

From Jaguar:
The new Jaguar F-TYPE looks more beautiful than ever and embodies Jaguar design DNA in its purest form. The two-seat sports car offers a perfect balance of performance and driver reward with an even more muscular, assertive design and a cabin defined by rich, luxurious materials and beautiful details. The range of powerful, responsive engines includes four-, six- and eight-cylinder options*, all matched to eight speed Quickshift transmissions with full manual control using either the SportShift gear selector or the steering wheel-mounted paddles.

The new 450PS supercharged V8 has been developed to offer exploitable and rewarding performance – its maximum torque of 580Nm being generated from just 2,500rpm. It is offered with a choice of all-wheel drive and – for purists – rear-wheel drive. Both versions can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds, and reach a maximum speed of 177mph. Taking all of the learning accrued from the development of the limited-edition, 200mph Jaguar XE SV Project 8, the Quickshift transmissions in both the new F-TYPE R and the 450PS V8 models have been meticulously recalibrated for a more engaging driving experience. The new F-TYPE R  specifically offers even faster,  crisper gear changes when the driver commands shifts manually via the steering wheel-mounted paddles or the SportShift gear s elector. Both upshifts and downshifts are more immediate and give an even more connected and responsive feel.
