That V8 noise is absolutely magnificent, but the V6 sounds great to me as well!
To me it seems Harry is smiling a lot more riding in the V6. That noise is so amazing from the V6
That V6 definitely sounds more refined and exciting than the V8, imo.
Finally down in my price range I'll be shopping for a V6s convertible soon, can't wait 😍😍
That V6 S is SWEET!
I never was a huge fan of jaguar, BUT: GOD, this car - especially in the black/grey colour combination you've mentioned - is just STUNNING. Finally Jag really made a car that can be easily considered ,,desireable as HELL''. Great job! I'm in love.
I Just Love Proper High Quality 1080P Reviews
anyone else notice the look of awe on his face when he hears the v6 in high revs? Even he was surprised! Love that sound!
I chose the 2014 V6 S Spyder. Love it. Its been dreamy for years. Its lighter w a higher pitch purr.
I'm in love! The 6 sounds just as good as the 8
I love Harry's permagrin. I'd love to be able to take one of these exceptionally beautiful cars for a spin, too.
Great video, as always, Harry! Gotta say that I love the sounds coming out of both of the cars. The v6 just tickles my fancy that little bit extra. They've really hit the jackpot with that raspy, hollow, shouty v6 sound!
I can't help but smile when Harry smiles.
Beautiful car, Jaguar still going strong!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow! awesomne sound from both engines! jag is coming back!
I came across that road once when I wandering around Wales, it was one of the best driving experiences I've ever had, awesome road.
Mother of god, both sound amazing!
I honestly prefer the V6 sound to the V8. Sounds a bit more exotic. Both lovely cars though, new dream car for sure.
Love this engine comparison format. You've been on point this month EVO
And without him you would not see any of the EVO videos. Harry M is a legend lets us get to see exotic cars before they even are launched.
Same here. The V6 is pretty awesome, its one i'd have I think.
Both engines sound surprisingly well. I'd honestly have a hard time choosing between the two haha. Awesome video as usual
Proper old school straight six XK jaguar sound in the V6.
Well done, Jaguar!
Harry is the best ever! Love to watch his videos!!!
are we seeing evo-diaries on the Agera R anytime soon since you tested it in the magazine? would be awesome :)
Saw this at the LA auto show 2012. VERY good, sporty looking jag. well done.
Is that a quad copter shot at 2:20? Very slick.
Really love the way the videos are coming along. And of course, the NOISE. Wow!
Is the white Mito in the background yours Harry ? It keep popping up in your vids :) Cracking video btw, really glad to see Jaguar take a swing at this segment. Looks super sexy too.
That car looks just brilliant.... And then the sound.... Just awesome!
I like how they keep quite to enjoy the sound of the car
Your smile says it all Harry!
Best sounding stock V8 cars:
Alfa Romeo 8C
Jaguar F Type
Maserati Gran Tourismo S & MC Stradale
Close runners up:
Corvette ZR1 / New Stingray
Shelby GT500
The V8 sounds vicious!...amazing!
would love to have the v6 coupe
The sound on that V8 is incredible.
they are really doing it with the sound. nice.
Harry is straight thuggin in that beanie!
The V6 sounds great for a V6, but good Lord does that V8 sound absolutely amazing. A proper small two-seater sports car, with 495 horsepower and a convertible top. For around $100K that's a hell of a car.
that smile say everything
The Mito was Harry's latest addition in Fast Fleet. It's a twin air if memory serves, so a tiny 900cc but turbocharged and makes 85bhp. It's a very characterful engine.
They're both fantastic, my 2 favourite automotive journalists, but it is unfair to compare them.
that noise! that glorious noise!
I had a ride in this very car today - very nice, the sound is awesome
they really are going along a a good pace for that first few minutes!!
Just wow! The noise and experience seem amazing!
That V6 sounds so good!
Harry's smile tells us a lot...
Harry you have the best job in the world.
That's what I love about Harry.
My wife was overtaken by an F -type V6s on a lovely road for fast overtaking (A96). The shiny red, gorgeous jag clearly had the sports exhaust which sounded like a Spitfire. The driver thrashed hell out of his Jag to stay ahead of the wife's RS6. .. the poor blighter thought we were racing. My wife scarcely went above 2500rpm which is ample for brisk progress. ... she could have crushed his ego at will. but didn't. .... jag-man was in heaven, why spoil it? ..... I wonder how many times he's told how raced and beat a new RS6 in his local pub?
RS6 will win anyday vs Ftype V6. But S6 vs Ftype V6 is more a comparison.
RS6 vs Type V8 is more equal, especially awd. Videos below show both track and drag results.
RS6 vs Ftype SVR will be an unfair comparison.
As a joy to drive, any f-type over any Audi, bar R8 range. Audi has taken a long-term contract with Xerox after Walter Da Silva penned the A5.
jesus this car is a beauty
Best looking rear end of any car built today
Gotta' keep in mind it's a convertible, too. Hard to get truly proper noise dampening in a tiny cabin with a retractable top! The camera's position on the dash may also have something to do with additional air cycling around the cabin's far edges, catching additional noise.
I can't wait to see one of these, what a car, looks and sounds insane!
Great Sound, you can't stop smiling
love the v6 sound
v8 s starts at $92k. XKR starts at $97k. two totally different cars and but worth the price. no maintance other them oil changes. Jaguar is stepping up it's game but they also need to make a car that is low to mid $30k again. X-type sold well(of course it has it's problems but owners love them) and i hope jaguar will make a one soon.
old boy is soo happy
Cheers from San Francisco California. I enjoy your videos!!
The most beautiful car money can buy today!
Or boy, that hat made my day. To get even more laughs imagine Harry in that hat driving a Zonda
Just love how easy going he went sideways
V8 sounds just sensational. Great, great noise.
I love the sounds from both cars....dammit I want to drive them!
I was surprised how awesome that V6 sounds.
That is a monster of a sound
Nice filming at 2:48. The scenery is classic UK - mega. Amazed about the hat and how the glasses didn't fall off when driving w/out roof at that speed (looking fast). Mike's got solid, sort of elegant, silent voice, but can't hear properly on vid. Fan of V6.
jaguar is BACK!!!!!!
Demented lovechild of an old school TVR Griffith and the XK! EPIC.
Own The Type R 550 Hp, Love it, it's a beast in sheep's skin.
Having the engineers drive you around in their car is the embedded journalism of the automotive world.
Harry is like a kid on Christmas Day.
saw the v8s the other day, sounds awsome
Am I the only one who prefer the V6 over the V8?
I got the opportunity to drive the V6 S and it sounds awesome but man I would have loved to drive the V8 S
jags have great performance, only reason i sold my newer xkr was of the all time jaguar electrical problems
I love the looks of the V6. It's alot more aggressive and tight.
The best car now available on the market
Went to the new Range Rover launch event and the new F-Type was also their, peaking away in the corner, loverly car but i was staggered to see that the V8 S has an average price tag of 89k which i feel this makes the XK redundant (apart from it has two more seats than this)! Would you pick this over a AM V8V or R8 which are both around this price range? I personally would rather have a V8V however im sure Jaguar will sell many of these!
loved the look of this car from the picture i saw of it
Brilliant cars! BEAUTIFUL! LOVING the newer designs! Amazing!
lol i couldn't stop laughing at your hat at the start
im in love with this car.
I just laughed so hard when he said "That's pretty cool" 1:36
Im not convinced by this jag, but that exhaust sound reminds me of the 40s' 50's V12 F1 cars, wow, nice
If ever I loved a new car, this is it.
The titanium grey model with black wheels at 7m:30s looks immense.
Sorry to hear you had Problems with your XKR. I have seen 07-up XK's have real magor problems unless they are rebuilds.
Even a car as good as this cant overshadow THAT HAT!!!
The devilish smile says it all
So happy to see Jag back in the game. No offense to the German cars (which I think are great) but its time for some variety. Would love to see a F-type V6 S go head to head with the Carrera S.
Finally they have a OK looking face lip and front lights sport car!
That hat is awesome, Harry. Going all chav on us.
One man is wearing sunglasses, other winter cap! One more proof that older man always knows better :)))
they shouldve tested the V6 first. even though the 6 sounds nice that 8 is sooooo awesome. and 495hp is crazy. beautiful machine
You know, I think Jag has finally made a new version of the E-type. Love the noise, but wish the headlights weren't like the California.
Harry's face in the V8 says it all :D
Great video, great car, great sound, hilarious hat Harry.
Is it my imagination or are Harry's eyes a bit wider than normal? I don't think he likes being a passenger as much as being a driver but he's still excited to be in a brand new car. :) Beautiful cars with wonderful sounds!
Awesome exhaust note and the rear :O
