The Type of fun that is ridiculous to beat – Jaguar F-Type R AWD

This car is jaw dropping in its beauty. It is sexy. It is supremely fast. It is outstanding in every regard - it is the ultimate toy for someone who loves cars. Judging by the admiring glances the F-Type received while driving it – there would be a long line of customers – even those who aren’t that mad for cars.

Everything about this supercar feels exotic: from its looks, to its interior but particularly the sound it produces - which can be described as an angry volcano, gargling hot malt and lava in its mouth in a menacing manor.

Being a sports car - it is quick, perhaps quicker and louder than you’d think. The F-Type range begins with a 3.0l supercharged V6. There is an even faster S model with the same engine that’s modified  to push out a further 30kW of power - this is arguably the favourite model in the range. The flagship F-type is offered in a 5.0l supercharged V8, badged an “R”, which is ridiculously fast, – 0 to 100 in an eye blinking 4.1 seconds. Thankfully this version can be specified with an all-wheel drive system, planting the 405kW of power onto the tarmac with decorum, unlike the rear wheel version which is the wild child in the family.

Driving an F-Type is a sensory experience: it’s hard not to awaken all five of your senses. Forget your cup of coffee in the morning – press the pulsating ignition button and the loud snarl from the bi-twin exhausts shocks you into alert mode – caffeine has nowhere near the kick that the F-Type R has. Driving around town you feel special – you smile and your ego inflates with a double drop of helium. What this car costs, will be made up for in the saving to see any therapist – as its effect is more potent than any happy pill.

Obviously being a car of its stature it comes standard with every bell and whistle – it should, it is expensive – R 1 745 000, but is it? In car terms yes. In super car terms R 1 745 000 is cheap. It looks like an Aston Martin and is as quick as a Ferrari, both of which cost at least double the price.
