@@Sureyoudid Who are you talking about? In my 77 years I've had a few interesting cars, never bought new though. The F-Type will no doubt be my apex car.
True. However, they're more than likely to build a very similar EV equivalent. I don't think they'll abandon making sportscars, given how famous they are for their sports and GT cars of old. But, this will definitely be missed. 🙁
@@TD1237 No EV will duplicate the sound of those supercharged V-8s and V-6s. This past spring, when I learned that Jaguar was going EV, I started looking for a used F-Type. I found a 3.0 S manual transmission coupe 2,000 miles from my house and bought it. Only 380HP but way more than I need in the foothills of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, USA. A beautiful car, triple black, and the sound in loud mode is wonderful. Manual F-Types are very rare, only made in 2016 and 2017, very few people bought them.
They're holding value pretty well tbh. Not quite Porsche level, but they haven't tanked anywhere near as much as something like the old SLK55 or BMW Z4.
I remember seeing the F-Type with Tim Hiddleston commercial, such a very memorable car, but it sorta ran under the radar for the past 7-8 years since in launched. Now that it's going to go away, I definitely will miss it.
Such an underrated car and sad to see it going. The way I always saw this car was like a gentlemen's car, a competitor to the Carrera but with more soul and personality. Shame a lot of people follow their head and not their hearts when buying a sportscar. I followed my heart, I drive the V6s, the best sounding V6 on the market.
That v6 f-type does sound pretty awesome. I would still go with a v8, which has a completely different sound obviously that is so different it is almost not comparable, but hot damn that v6 sounds remarkable. It definitely blows most v6s out of the water for sound. Of that there is no doubt. These modern day Porsches are generally such a let down for sound. Incredible cars, don’t get me wrong, but F-types definitely bring more in the sound department. Undeniably.
@@dlj1285 The V8 is not available with a manual transmission, and I wanted that. The V6 cars are also mechanically simpler, a bit lighter and better balanced. The LSD is purely mechanical, no computer controlled clutch packs. There is less to go wrong with the V6 cars. But if ultimate performance is the goal the V8 has it in spades. As for sound, the pre-particulate filter cars are so much better than the newer ones, they don't have that farty sound the one in the video has.
@@3ducs This video has absolutely horrible sound, which is shocking for Auto Trader. It is not a good representation at all. Sounds pretty great to me in other videos, and in person. Many say it is as good as the first gen car if fuse 15 is pulled. I understand your desire for a manual. That is the only thing I wish the 2024 R I just bought could have had. Can’t have everything I guess, and it’s not a deal breaker for me at the end of the day. The new gen car is supposed to have better handling when compared to the first gen car. The rear knuckles and other bit were revised for superior handling. The V8 is pretty solid. Just gotta keep an eye on a few bits around the engine from what I gather, and this is less of a problem on the new gen car as a result of revised parts. That v6, excellent choice. A small part of me does find it more exhilarating sound wise than the v8. That’s how standout that v6 is.
@@dlj1285 Congratulations on the new car! A used car is all that was affordable to me, but it is a good one, 29,000 miles and in great shape when I bought it. A gamble, it was 2,000 miles from me, I had never so much as sat in an F-Type nor could I remember even seeing one in the flesh in the mostly rural area where I live. But it's all turned out well, I enjoy the car and will keep it into my dotage, which at 77, won't be all that long.
A beautiful car in all its guises. As the owner of an older V6s, I shed a tear at the passing of a great object of automotive design (kudos to Mr Ian Callum) Who cares about the dated cockpit?! I’m too busy looking through the windscreen, and listening to the symphonic exhaust notes.
I recently bought a 3.0 S, a 2016 manual transmission Coupe, triple black. I love the analogue instruments, I don't like screens. And the glorious exhaust sounds are even better with a manual transmission.
@@stuarttownson5055 Both will be remembered as fantastic sounding engines! Maybe one day I will be able to afford a first generation SVR, with a V8 but I feel lucky to be able to drive what I do with the V6. Every mile brings a smile…!
I recently bought a 2016 3.0 S manual transmission Coupe, triple black. I'd heard that Jaguar was going EV, I will never get an EV car, at 77yo I'll never have to. With the exhaust on loud mode and a manual transmission that V6 howl is bliss. 380HP is quite sufficient in the foothills of the New Hampshire White Mountains where I live.
@zsb707 Not at all. I've driven the FType many times. FPace feels like driving a much smaller and nimble car, not like a big boat like Range Rover. Can't carry the family in the FType either which I would have bought instead if it was just me and the wife. Amonite grey, black roof, privacy glass, black 22 inch alloys with red brake callipers, and red/black interior. It soundss good too although you have to push it a bit harder to get the pops and bangs when in sport and dynamic mode.
It's very sad to see the 5.0 V8 Supercharged engine go, the power delivery and the sound make it so sweet to drive. At least it had a good run, 10+ years in production 👍

I'm sad to see it being pushed out for electrics but I understand why.
Jaguar have always nailed the superchargers in their V8s. I have 2005 XKR with a 4.2 V8. Sounds awesome and drives like a predator if you want it too. Yes the fuel economy isnt great but thats not what these cars are about.
I will never forget when you said "a dinosaur gargling hand grenades on the gaza strip". And that resulted in me buying a 2015 f-type R coupe, the only year for rear drive, hydraulic steering and the loudest exhaust!
This has to be the most impressive exhaust pipes to disturb my neighbors. I like the two-seater, it's perfect for office commute and powerful engine is sure way to warm up your morning.
The last of a dying breed ,the F type for me is still yet one of the best sounding V8s out there and I do not thing I'm going out on limb to say it is still yet the best production car by Jag case closed WE GONNA MISS IT
Great video 👏🏻. I'm sure all I.C.E. Jaguars will be missed but especially anything with that iconic 5 litre, supercharged V8! A shame more models did not have it fitted. Also I think for the last 10 years Jaguar have been the kings of understatement, which is probably a bad thing. With all these great cars there is not much to warrant or celebrate these limited editions. The 1988 F-Pace is another example to this F-Type 75.
I see nonstop about how criminally underrated it is, yet the sales numbers are pretty shit lol. That does mean you can pick up used ones for $70k cheaper, which I plan on doing early next year
I love it but don't have the wealth to run it for 10 plus years ...If its reliable & easy low cost maintenance, I would consider one . So people who loves to own it have no wealth , those who have wealth won't own one.
@@ajthomas770 no rich man would want to put up with jag's tantrums even if money doesn't matter. Rich people will have bigger problems in life to deal with.
The F-Type is to this day one of Jaguars 🐆 best. It’s gorgeous yet doesn’t scream 🙀 give me attention. It rides in a way that makes you want to drive without an end in sight. Best of all it’s English and after the warranty. You’ll see it in the shop more than your garage. 😂😅 Jokes aside I do like the car and have enjoyed driving them. 😊 Thank you for good memories F-Type R. 🎉❤
It is far more reliable than my two prior 911's were....or my Volvo's....or my subaru's. Have data and bills to prove that.... Bosch electronics, trw brakes, leer seats, etc. Top tier subsystems....and brilliant design. A masterpiece really and one day many will wish they had bought it when affordable...
I love my F-Type R, as a former tech for JLR it was probably the main vehicle that put Jaguar back on the map. I have the 1st generation F-Type just before the awd was standard for the v8 models. Its the best version of it.
Love the FType, but hate the restyled ftont end. I had a V6S up until Nov 2020. I definitely want another, but im tempted to buy an original V8R this time. ❤😊
Finally, showcasing a real machine. We are in an Era where every car, crossover, van, and truck look exactly the same. Looking at the new models, it doesn't look like we are getting out of it any time soon.
This is one of the best looking car then when it first came out years ago and it still is today and will be years to come ....oh yes it sounds awsome I'd have a mine in yellow
Don't discount the V6, especially if you can find a 2016-17 manual transmission example. They have fewer mechanical issues, are better balanced, and let's be honest, 380HP is plenty in a 3,500 pound car. My 2016 3.0 S coupe has all the options, sings a sweet song, the manual transmission adds to the fun.
A great car that would of reached the end of its life with or without jaguar going electric. The only thing I’m sad about having owned a jaguar in the past is that going up market as we are led to believe with there electric ambitions is I won’t be able to afford the opportunity of owning an electric version of there future cars. I wish them well but I think it’s a brave move trying to compete with Bentley.
I've longed to own and drive an F type. But the last time I test one, there was too much of me and too little seat. ( I'm sure the car shrank in transit. All that salt air on the ship)
@6:52 notice you say it's a glorious noise vs saying a glorious sound😄 And exactly! Should be able to enjoy a sportscar without setting off other car alarms. Been fascinated with Jaguars since Austin Powers and this FType continues that legacy. Unfortuantely this type is on its way out. Curious to see the transition of Jaguars electric and if that power still remains.
It's a bloody shame how JLR has treated Jaguar. From the axing of the XJ supposedly because of low sales, but how can sales be good if they're not investing in their cars? In the decade they kept the XJ, only making half-hearted changes, how many times did the S Class and 7Series improve? Plus they seem not to know their customers. I don't see Jaguar buyers lining up to buy Jaguar EVs just as they didn't flock to buy the X-Type, XE and E Pace. Land Rover is selling because the cars are refreshed regularly and many Jaguar buyers are buying them.
Hey Rory Love your videos. You are my favorite reviewer (ie F-Pace SVR). I have a black 2023 P450 AWD coupe. The new gen face lift version looks much better than the original version - especially in person. Photos and video don't do it justice. Never had people chat with me so much about a car, turns heads and thumbs up. People love the classic lines and sound of the engine. Never experienced as many smiles per mile, when driving it (I owned 911T, X/1/9, 124 Spyder and more in 70s - 90s. X3 & X6 in 2000s). A work of art.
Battery powered ones yes, may be other electric powered cars in time will be better (I hope). But current ones are soulless and full of tech that doesn't make them better cars, just gimmicks.
Jaaaaaaaaaaag - glorious. I have an xf 3.0 litre petrol (absolutely NO COMPARISON to the F type monster) but,i love my xf it's a wonderful long distance cruiser and has effortless power on tap. Jaguar have truly missed a trick by not producing an electric XJ - THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A KILLER !!. THE F-TYPE WILL COME TO OCCUPY THE SAME NICHE AS THE E-TYPE HAS IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS -IT'S A DESIGN CLASSIC FROM ANY ANGLE.
I disagree with the Carpathian Grey color being boring... I own this exact car model, in this color, but with two tone interior - Cream w/black trim. It stands out... This is a fabulous car to drive and own. It brings much joy, and many smiles per gallon.
Always wanted a V8 f type. The drive has such a sense of occasion and that exhaust note is to die for. I ended up going for a C63s coupe but I still have hope that I’ll scratch the F type itch one of these days. Will be sad to see it go
Happy to have been the curator of a 2015 F-Type R (RWD) for 2 years and 17K miles. Awesome sound and timeless design. They are destined to be a collector car! Thanks for the great video!!
The design of the F Type is gorgeous. I think as soon as we see denser batteries coming which allow to pack like 200kWh in a space under the chassis with not too much weight, this design will come bck gloriously. And then it will have huuuuuge storage with the entire front becoming a Frunk. So lets not give up on the gorgeous design just yet.
I own a 2021 F-Type R, and trust me, it sounds just fine right from the factory. The active exhaust tames the sounds mostly under about 3500 rpm, but after that it sounds great. I pulled the active exhaust fuse from mine and it sounds just like the old ones; fantastic all across the rev range. So, a five minute fix to make it sound better than any Porsche in my neighborhood by a country mile.
@@jonh5206 Some on the forums claim that pulling the fuse also brings back the crazy popping and banging. Other say it does not. What say you? I have an R on order and would like to have the better sound all the time, but not if it brings in massive burble tune…I just find that to be a bit juvenile…My opinion only, as I know most seem to like it. I don’t mind a bit, but not to the level of the previous gen car.
R F-Type it's a gorgeous car that can perform on a next level jaguar I love the design uu made possible two seats ,,& V8 I just love the sound of it‼️🔥
This is the first time I have ever heard of Jaguar's iteration of the ZF8 being better than BMW's. BMW has this gearbox nailed, no one has a better ZF8 box than BMW that's a fact. Anyway getting back to the F Type personally for my money I would go with the older version, looks better / sharper and sounds better too and cost heck of lot less!
Still such a timeless design. Jaguar has always made some of the best looking sportscars in the world. Will miss this car.
The F-Type is a look back car, when I park mine I look back at it as I walk away.

Jaguar have always nailed the superchargers in their V8s. I have 2005 XKR with a 4.2 V8. Sounds awesome and drives like a predator if you want it too.
Yes the fuel economy isnt great but thats not what these cars are about.
I will never forget when you said "a dinosaur gargling hand grenades on the gaza strip". And that resulted in me buying a 2015 f-type R coupe, the only year for rear drive, hydraulic steering and the loudest exhaust!
Still remember your coventry to switzerland drive for the geneva auto show… now that im studying in Coventry this car will always feel special❤
8 cyl F-Type is underrated. I’ve been thinking about getting a used SVR
Do it you will not Regret it Trust me
You must!
RIP to your wallet and mental health. Will sound good, though. 😂
Buy it while you can! This will be a classic in the future 👌
It's been one of the most beautiful cars on the road since the day it was released.
This title aged well...
What an exceptionally presented review, stands out as a remarkably lucid analysis of the actual drivers experience when driving this car.
The most underrated jaaaaag, hate to see it be discontinued
This has to be the most impressive exhaust pipes to disturb my neighbors. I like the two-seater, it's perfect for office commute and powerful engine is sure way to warm up your morning.
The last of a dying breed ,the F type for me is still yet one of the best sounding V8s out there and I do not thing I'm going out on limb to say it is still yet the best production car by Jag case closed WE GONNA MISS IT
Best option: Buy a used Jaguar F type SVR from 2018, then you've a un-neighbouring friendly jaguar roaring sport car.
Finally a real car review! since the old school top dear and donut not a signal car review guy has turned up well. Good job bro!
What an ending especially with the Rory's voice 😌
Great video 👏🏻.
I'm sure all I.C.E. Jaguars will be missed but especially anything with that iconic 5 litre, supercharged V8! A shame more models did not have it fitted.
Also I think for the last 10 years Jaguar have been the kings of understatement, which is probably a bad thing. With all these great cars there is not much to warrant or celebrate these limited editions. The 1988 F-Pace is another example to this F-Type 75.
Supercharging ls less efficient than turbocharging, so with nearly all manufacturers chasing low CO2 outputs, the supercharger was mostly dropped.
This has always been a car everyone would suggest to their friends and none would buy it themselves.
Jaguar's reputation precedes them
I see nonstop about how criminally underrated it is, yet the sales numbers are pretty shit lol. That does mean you can pick up used ones for $70k cheaper, which I plan on doing early next year
I love it but don't have the wealth to run it for 10 plus years ...If its reliable & easy low cost maintenance, I would consider one . So people who loves to own it have no wealth , those who have wealth won't own one.
@@ajthomas770 no rich man would want to put up with jag's tantrums even if money doesn't matter. Rich people will have bigger problems in life to deal with.
I love❤ your presentation on every episode. Captivating. Very interesting. Such fulfilling reviews. 🇬🇧
The F-Type is to this day one of Jaguars 🐆 best.
It’s gorgeous yet doesn’t scream 🙀 give me attention. It rides in a way that makes you want to drive without an end in sight.
Best of all it’s English and after the warranty. You’ll see it in the shop more than your garage. 😂😅 Jokes aside I do like the car and have enjoyed driving them. 😊
Thank you for good memories F-Type R. 🎉❤
It is far more reliable than my two prior 911's were....or my Volvo's....or my subaru's. Have data and bills to prove that.... Bosch electronics, trw brakes, leer seats, etc. Top tier subsystems....and brilliant design. A masterpiece really and one day many will wish they had bought it when affordable...
Gorgeous. I love this sort of design, jaguar, aston, maseratti, the roma…it’s just beautiful
I love my F-Type R, as a former tech for JLR it was probably the main vehicle that put Jaguar back on the map. I have the 1st generation F-Type just before the awd was standard for the v8 models. Its the best version of it.
As a tech what is your opinion on the reliability of the F-type? I know people that own them and they say they are pretty reliable.
The F-Type in any of it's forms, is likely the most fun modern car built. Just an absolute blast to drive.
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, 26/08/2023
Love the FType, but hate the restyled ftont end. I had a V6S up until Nov 2020. I definitely want another, but im tempted to buy an original V8R this time. ❤😊
Kudos to Rory for another amazing F-type video.
May I know which watch you are wearing? I absolutely loved it 😍👍
Finally, showcasing a real machine. We are in an Era where every car, crossover, van, and truck look exactly the same. Looking at the new models, it doesn't look like we are getting out of it any time soon.
I have one, as many others do on this thread. It's a truly beautiful car both for its looks and its ability.
Great video! That Brompton fold-up e-bike just needs the old cardboard/spokes/peg trick for a similar F-Type sound effect 😊
This is one of the best looking car then when it first came out years ago and it still is today and will be years to come ....oh yes it sounds awsome I'd have a mine in yellow
Probably the best sounding European V8.
Don't discount the V6, especially if you can find a 2016-17 manual transmission example. They have fewer mechanical issues, are better balanced, and let's be honest, 380HP is plenty in a 3,500 pound car. My 2016 3.0 S coupe has all the options, sings a sweet song, the manual transmission adds to the fun.
A great car that would of reached the end of its life with or without jaguar going electric. The only thing I’m sad about having owned a jaguar in the past is that going up market as we are led to believe with there electric ambitions is I won’t be able to afford the opportunity of owning an electric version of there future cars. I wish them well but I think it’s a brave move trying to compete with Bentley.
Just had to get one!
But in black, 575 horses and what a soundtrack!
Got mine in sorento yellow w black trim. It’s my favorite car right now.
I've longed to own and drive an F type. But the last time I test one, there was too much of me and too little seat. ( I'm sure the car shrank in transit. All that salt air on the ship)
I have the same concerns but haven't driven one yet. Am I gonna fit at 6'6 and 240lbs?
@@DaGoook That's the beauty of Car shows, just get in everything you like and twist all the knobs. Wish marriage was that way!
@@bawintermage8351 Haha well said!
I'm a big guy as well and it wasn't built for my size. Amazing car though.
@6:52 notice you say it's a glorious noise vs saying a glorious sound😄 And exactly! Should be able to enjoy a sportscar without setting off other car alarms. Been fascinated with Jaguars since Austin Powers and this FType continues that legacy. Unfortuantely this type is on its way out. Curious to see the transition of Jaguars electric and if that power still remains.
Truly the last real Jaguar, after that fiasco last week.
Rory, I love that watch! Who makes it?
It's a bloody shame how JLR has treated Jaguar. From the axing of the XJ supposedly because of low sales, but how can sales be good if they're not investing in their cars?
In the decade they kept the XJ, only making half-hearted changes, how many times did the S Class and 7Series improve?
Plus they seem not to know their customers. I don't see Jaguar buyers lining up to buy Jaguar EVs just as they didn't flock to buy the X-Type, XE and E Pace.
Land Rover is selling because the cars are refreshed regularly and many Jaguar buyers are buying them.
One of the best engines of all time!!!
Hey Rory Love your videos. You are my favorite reviewer (ie F-Pace SVR). I have a black 2023 P450 AWD coupe. The new gen face lift version looks much better than the original version - especially in person. Photos and video don't do it justice. Never had people chat with me so much about a car, turns heads and thumbs up. People love the classic lines and sound of the engine. Never experienced as many smiles per mile, when driving it (I owned 911T, X/1/9, 124 Spyder and more in 70s - 90s. X3 & X6 in 2000s). A work of art.
The move to 100% EV nonsense will cost this iconic company dear. It’s a catastrophic error. So I glad I owned 2 real Jags
@@gregderuiter583 you right mate
Just specced one online.. came to 108k!!!
love love love the production!
Why kill it off electric cars are a white elephant ....and are less green than this beauty to produce and run for the first five years
Battery powered ones yes, may be other electric powered cars in time will be better (I hope). But current ones are soulless and full of tech that doesn't make them better cars, just gimmicks.
For the first 5 years? Bit short minded no?
Great video as always, but that hoodie......love it!! Where did you get that from?
I want it!!
Auto trader are putting people OUT OF WORK, well done Rory, hat's of to you
glad this show hit the wall
Jaaaaaaaaaaag - glorious. I have an xf 3.0 litre petrol (absolutely NO COMPARISON to the F type monster) but,i love my xf it's a wonderful long distance cruiser and has effortless power on tap.
Jaguar have truly missed a trick by not producing an electric XJ - THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A KILLER !!.
THE F-TYPE WILL COME TO OCCUPY THE SAME NICHE AS THE E-TYPE HAS IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS -IT'S A DESIGN CLASSIC FROM ANY ANGLE.
I love that hoodie !!!
Ima get one
I disagree with the Carpathian Grey color being boring... I own this exact car model, in this color, but with two tone interior - Cream w/black trim. It stands out... This is a fabulous car to drive and own. It brings much joy, and many smiles per gallon.
Now they gonna Electrify it. 😢 RIP Jaguar F-type
Always wanted a V8 f type. The drive has such a sense of occasion and that exhaust note is to die for. I ended up going for a C63s coupe but I still have hope that I’ll scratch the F type itch one of these days. Will be sad to see it go
Rory is an amazing reviewer. 10M subscribers coming
Awesome that you drove it in New Mexico!!! Beautiful car!
Absolutely stunningly car, i remember when i first saw the R
the svr version will always remain my favorite sounding v8
Happy to have been the curator of a 2015 F-Type R (RWD) for 2 years and 17K miles. Awesome sound and timeless design. They are destined to be a collector car! Thanks for the great video!!
Man I love Jags. I will own an XJ6 and an FType before I croak
I have a 2018 400 sport. I absolutely love it
This car sounded amazing in the v6 , v8 I think there was a 4 cycl too that sounded good af
The design of the F Type is gorgeous. I think as soon as we see denser batteries coming which allow to pack like 200kWh in a space under the chassis with not too much weight, this design will come bck gloriously. And then it will have huuuuuge storage with the entire front becoming a Frunk. So lets not give up on the gorgeous design just yet.
Gonna try to land one next year before they’re all gone!
Great video
No doubt the next one will be on oil street lamps. Looking forward to that
Top tip - get the V6S like me - same sound, but cheaper to tax, insure and fix!
Make a video about (F-150 Raptor R 700 horsepower). Talk about it and give us your opinion about it 👍
Doesn't sound anywhere as mean as the early F-Type V8s. In fact, this does not even sound like a V8 anymore.
The sound in this video is bad and does not capture it well…It definitely sounds like v8
I own a 2021 F-Type R, and trust me, it sounds just fine right from the factory. The active exhaust tames the sounds mostly under about 3500 rpm, but after that it sounds great. I pulled the active exhaust fuse from mine and it sounds just like the old ones; fantastic all across the rev range. So, a five minute fix to make it sound better than any Porsche in my neighborhood by a country mile.
@@jonh5206 Good to know. Thank you.
@@jonh5206 Some on the forums claim that pulling the fuse also brings back the crazy popping and banging. Other say it does not. What say you? I have an R on order and would like to have the better sound all the time, but not if it brings in massive burble tune…I just find that to be a bit juvenile…My opinion only, as I know most seem to like it. I don’t mind a bit, but not to the level of the previous gen car.
I’m going talking about ur cameraman.. great job and a perfect every angles
Growler?? I think growler is something very different 😂 great video, gorgeous car.
I hope they don’t discontinue the SVR F pace. It’s the best SUV on the market
One of my personal favorite British sport's cars..
im going to miss this era of jaguar
One of the best looking cars of the last 20 years
R F-Type it's a gorgeous car that can perform on a next level jaguar I love the design uu made possible two seats ,,& V8 I just love the sound of it‼️🔥
This is the first time I have ever heard of Jaguar's iteration of the ZF8 being better than BMW's. BMW has this gearbox nailed, no one has a better ZF8 box than BMW that's a fact. Anyway getting back to the F Type personally for my money I would go with the older version, looks better / sharper and sounds better too and cost heck of lot less!
Rory is right I’ve had both, jag has the zf8 sorted
@@karlc4352 Never heard of BMW not having the ZF8 'sorted' they are well known for having the best iteration of this gearbox.
@@joebloggs4191 I’d say they both have to be fair
I have seen at least a handful of the bigger channels suggest that the implementation in this Jag is better than the one in BMW.
@@dlj1285 Which channels are they?
this car is a rare bread ...: a really nice looking modern car !
That's it - am going straight to the classifieds!
Brilliant presentation
