5 Years After I SOLD Mine... What's CHANGED On The F-TYPE R?
Вставка

- Nearly 5 years after I sold my Jaguar F-Type R, I try to figure out what has changed for this latest version.
The new F-TYPE R continues to set the benchmark for truly involving, driver-focused sports cars. Just as its design has evolved, so too has the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 at its heart. It now generates 575PS and 700Nm of torque; increases of 25PS and 20Nm compared to the previous model.
Taking all of the learning accrued from the development of the limited-edition 200mph Jaguar XE SV Project 8, the Quickshift transmissions in 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 selector. Both upshifts and downshifts are more immediate and give an even more connected and responsive feel.
Combined with the torque on-demand all-wheel drive system with Jaguar’s Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) control technology, this delivers truly extraordinary performance and immediate throttle response in all gears and in all conditions. Acceleration from 0-60mph takes just 3.5 seconds, while the maximum speed is electronically-limited to 186mph.
The bespoke calibration to IDD and to the rear electronic active differential (EAD) ensure optimum torque distribution between the front and rear axles and across the rear axle. Combined with a new calibration for the Dynamic Stability Control system, this enhances traction and dynamics - on all surfaces and in all weathers - while maintaining the F-TYPE R’s rear-wheel drive feel and handling balance.
Aluminium double wishbone front and rear suspension and a recalibrated state-of-the-art electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) system offering an even more connected feel are fundamental to the car’s immediate and intuitive responses to every driver input.
Matched to new springs and anti-roll bars, the chassis is further enhanced by the continuously-variable dampers at the core of Jaguar’s Adaptive Dynamics system. The valves inside each damper and the control algorithms have been recalibrated to improve both low-speed comfort and high-speed control.
The unique tune for the Torque Vectoring by Braking system enables even more precise control of the braking applied to the inner wheels to further mitigate understeer - even at high corner entry speeds.
The rear knuckles are now aluminium die castings, which, together with new, larger wheel bearings and revised upper ball joints increase camber and toe stiffness by 37 per cent and 41 per cent respectively. This results in more precise control of the tyre contact patch, which translates to an even more connected steering feel.
Fitted as standard with large 380mm and 376mm front and rear brake discs, the F-TYPE R can be specified with Jaguar’s Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) braking system. Featuring even larger 398mm and 380mm discs and six- and four-piston monobloc calipers with a distinctive yellow finish, this system delivers exceptional braking performance with outstanding fade resistance. The brake prefill system ensures consistent pedal feel, stop after stop.
The specially-developed 265/35/ZR20 and 305/30/ZR20 Pirelli P Zero tyres are 10mm wider than before and provide exceptional levels of grip. These are paired to new 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels in Gloss Black with contrast Diamond-Turned finish and are exclusive to the new F-TYPE R.

![2,500 Miles In My New Jaguar F-Type R: Initial Impressions [London to Austria]](/img/n.gif)
I miss how incredibly capable mine was. It was such a massively memorable time of my life having that. I think the same for yours so I can see how exciting this must be.
They are cars full of character that seem to make every drive special
@@seenthroughglass To be honest. I think that way about most of the cars you purchase. You clearly buy with your heart, not ‘just because’!
It’s endearing to watch, I said this to Tony at the weekend actually.
That's why I've hung on to mine Rob just nothing else around that ticks all the boxes for the price ;)
@@kevind1447 Yes, I tend to agree. It’s just I have shined ball syndrome!
Good move, Jaguar UK. Lending this car to one of Britain's finest UA-cam influencers. Production quality is second to none, as always. Only 10 minutes in, time to crack on. Excellent lunch break entertainment! Best of luck, Sam!
Thanks so much mate!
They are hoping Sam will buy it!
Just stick 10K miles on it and barter them down!
I’m watching on my break to from Texas ! Where’s the jag owners from Texas !! Stand up y’all
Can’t believe that was 5 years ago 🤯 I still remember watching the road trip videos with Red and orange crew hahaha
It is insane how it has been 5 years!
Scary how time flies
@@seenthroughglass I remember watching back when I was doing GCSEs and dreaming of my own f type and mclaren ... I’m now nearly graduated from uni ... sadly an f type or mclaren is still very much a dream
Would love a video explaining how the logistics of this arrangement works with Jag. E.g. who pays for fuel, insurance, registration? Do you have targets to hit in the way of views and hits?
I like to think that Sam has numerous cameras and that he just leaves them there when he leaves
Yes F type content. Missing these. Quite nostalgic atm🥺
Agreed! Semi emotional over here
This is amazing Sam, great to see a F-TYPE back on the channel!
So happy to be back behind the wheel of one
was feeling crap before this vid, now I feel incredible thanks sam
Amazing to hear! Stay strong
I’ve been watching your channel since I was 13, 20 years old now!! Fantastic content Sam
WOAH!!! You’ve just aged ME. Haha. Thanks for the support
16 to 23 here as well. Crazy how time flies. Those Monaco road trips were the best.
Has it been that long? wow... I still remembered the reveal video of your red f-type.
Same! Thanks for sticking around so long
Okay that transition was incredible 2:33
Greetings from the States, and great video! I used to own a 2015 F-Type R, and it was the most fun car I'd ever owned. Loved the sound and fury, and since mine was rear-wheel drive, I could definitely get sideways with all that power, even with the nanny systems turned on. Tons of fun.
I'd owned a couple 911s before it (traded a 2006 911 in on it in fact), and I remember somebody posting on a forum once comparing the two, and paraphrasing, it went something like this: "The 911 is like a scalpel, very precise. The F-Type is like a sledgehammer. And sometimes you just want to break s**t with a sledgehammer." That summed up my feelings about the F-Type perfectly. And that styling - one of the most beautiful cars ever made I think. Although, I admit I still like the older headlight style better. To me, the newer headlight style looks a little too generic. But styling is very subjective, so that's just me.
Kind of disappointed they did away with a lot of the crackles and pops from the exhaust, but that's to be expected with all the environmental regulations going up around the world. Was fun while it lasted. But so glad to hear with things being taken away, they've made so many improvements in other areas. I'd definitely get another F-Type down the road.
Enjoy your F-Type and keep posting - great car and video!
As usual your production value is stunning. Congrats.
Your coffee blend is going down well with friends and family, just finished my second bag and will be reordering some more!
There is something about the F-Type that just makes STG’s videos that much better 👌
Genuine passion and enthusiasm?
Cannot believe that was 5 years ago! Ah, how much I loved those times!! And that green in the sun, so beautiful.
You are a different Man with a Jag on the channel! Lovely car...
Hi Sam, great work! I am considering buying an f type coupe since I’d like some more sportiness (I am now having a db11 v12). Which one would you prefer: the old R RWD, the old R AWD, the current P450, P575 or perhaps the old V6S? All in coupe form. And by the way I know it’s very different from the DB11 and other cars I owned (a California, a Rapide, a FF, a 5.0 Mustang, a Giulia QV, an XKR 4.2, a Mas Granturismo S, among the others), but how would you compare them in terms of driving sensations? It’s a “worst” car being less expensive or forget about that?
Thank you very much!!!
Hmm ... everything you describe you got in the 2018 V8 R 5.0 AWD including ZF and infotainment with Apple Carplay. Plus the original (better) looks. And the insane sound ALL THE TIME. So please excuse me if I don‘t see the improvement here. Why not get a low mileage, well equipped 2018 instead?
(Which is exactly what I did a month ago.)
Lovely Jubbly, amazing camera and editing skills you have, Jaguar just tops it off.
So happy to see an f type back on the channel
7:42 Great example as to why I love the British lol. But yeah, always a great channel. Expressing an equally as great topless (the way I prefer them 😉) sports car. I truly miss the true savagery that was the F-Type SVR, which to this day remains in my top 3 cars of all time. It’s engine note and it’s noises were as close to ear-orgasms as one could get. This cars styling to me looks slightly too generic. Like it’s trying to copy a Maserati. It’s still beautiful just, not quiet as “unique” as it’s predecessor.
Anyway, great content my dude. Keep it up! Cheers from across the pond!
Please, PLEASE, try a V6 F-Type S before you decide what to buy. A comparison video would be epic
Been here from 1,500 subs, the Audi TT days. Now your boi drives a GT3 RS love this channel
Peak & Lake district in an F-type R... Not jealous whatsoever! 😩
I do like them but over here in Oz they’re flipping expensive (as all sports cars are) which makes it harder to justify the stuff that’s missing. But I’m now at the stage where it’s a second car that can be fun only so I might just have to drive one!
Do it!! Trust me, once you get behind the wheel, none of the other stuff matters
Fantastic seeing your enjoyment in the new F Type Sam. Looks and sounds great. Very compelling 👌
Go and try one! They’re mega
@@seenthroughglass I’m planning on doing exactly that 👌
Sold my 2014 V8 S a few months back. I truly miss it but I live somewhere that it's just no longer practical (dirt roads).
What's scaring me is that I remember you GETTING it. Holy crap that was a fast five years!
You can fix that exhaust valve issue by removing a fuse I believe, like the older XK models. Should help get back some of the sound in the low to mid part of the rev range.
Halloumi needs to be eaten straight away, before it goes squeaky. Schoolboy error.
How do you know I hadn’t already eaten it before I got in the car...
@@seenthroughglass Because you said “nice looking burger”. Unless you had eaten it but didn’t want to praise the restaurant too much because it was average?
Thats the color combo I want just like my Jaguar XJL
Beautiful car made even better by that engine. A great part of the world too!
How is it possible your suscriber amount doesn’t increase massively ??????? Your uploads are By far the most anticipated one on YT for me, keep up this excellent work !
The f type and Ferrari Roma are my favorite new good looking cars
So much effort with making content, much appreciated...
Some of the UK UA-camrs could do with taking some notes from how you're doing things.
I remember driving the Peak District quite a few years, I'm definitely overdue another trip there!
Jag had problems with electronics so they opt out
Wait, the peak district is not called that cus of all the.....peaks? Every day is a school day. Love the car 👍
Blew my mind that fact
Great stuff Sam.
Well, the color changed, didn't it? 🤔😂
Jokes aside, absolutely ready for this F-Type trip!
That sound of the v8 is epic and will be missed in not too distant future - how is the front growing on you ? This version of the previous ?
It is growing on me! Certain angles but every day I like it more
let me guess, come december, youre going to buy this,
fuck sam is going to have a bad midlife crisis
The most artistic uk car vlogger
Ah we're up in Scotland from Saturday for 5 days, I'll keep an eye open for you ha ha! There's a Ferrari in our group too 😁
Looking forward to hearing your long term thoughts on this and ultimately which one you end up buying! Having had my ‘old’ rwd R for 4 and half years now, I still struggle to think of bang for buck alternatives that can put as much of a smile on my face.
Love love love it great car great spec and brilliant video. You wear the F Type very well sir
Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in
5 years fly by like nothing !!!!
Love this goofy dude and his car videos.
Wow time flies it's been 5 years damn but soo happy to see you back in this😍😍
Ok, you've mastered the art of mounting/masking the external 360 camera... I simply can't see the car mount! Trying to figure it out for my videos 🤔
I think so shmee and Sam are doing a road trip together.
Nice drone shots Sam.
And those camera angles. Watch out Guy Ritchie....😁
Wicked and super scenery too 👌nice one Sam.
Can you please review a 2015 Jaguar XJL-R??! Its the last xjr before it became the 575.
UA-cam please give me the power to give this channel 1 billion subs. Sir plz upload everyday.
Haha. Hero
Love the tan interior
Thank you, 'Scenic Through Glass', impressive sights in this classy Jaguar, deffo go for the Convertible for your example later . And all the UA-cam mods offcourse, yes 👍
I pulled the trigger on a low-mile 2016 AWD R Coupe a couple months ago. You just point it and it goes ... really fast and really loud! Going through tunnels or under overpasses is comical when you drop down a couple gears and get on it. It's like hell let loose, no joke. The infotainment is definitely a bit out of date now, but I find myself entertained just driving it. It's a not-quite-rich man's supercar. In America, it's just rare and quasi-exotic enough to turn heads. If the looks don't, that exhaust note will. I freaking love it!
I agree with you Sam in terms of ACC, I don't get why it isn't on the F-Type tbh, I have it on my XE S and it's a definite nice to have, if a little binary at times... I'm thinking of a P450/575/SVR at some point, would you say the P450 is 'enough' Sam? I know the 575 is basically an SVR underneath in terms of chassis/components too, so that's also worth considering...
I have my ‘17 V8-R stage 1 mapped. So it’s all wheel drive, 480bhp and sounds antisocial. Which is what you really want. I think they killed the new one with the exhaust mute. Plus I sont like the beady eyes of the new one. Like I don’t like the new aston vantage ones. I think you should go for a 2019 SVR and get it modified to 500bhp.
Pssst... Jaguar, why don't you bring back what everybody actually wants ...a new 'E-Type'. Porsche was smart and never stopped their legendary 911, so why in the world did you stop producing your most famous car - the E-Type? Here is the magic formula: make it beautiful, keep the technology bullshit to a minimum, use analog gauges, manual convertible top, manual transmission (no stupid paddle shifters), no GPS and stupid computer screens), put the rear view camera in the rear view mirror, manual seats, manual windows, manual mirrors and 17 inch tires (anything more than that is ridiculous), and no radio. Pure sports car. Price it right and make a ton of money. Oh, and bring back the old growler badge, it looked majestic. The current one looks like a five year old drew it in kindergarten class.
5 years since you SOLD it?! Christ, I remember watching you back when you had the Alfa. Didn't realise it was 7 or so years.... is there a way to find out how long I've been a subscriber for?
For me, you always did and still do the best videos from all the car youtubers. Cuts, music, scenery - just amazing, so relaxing to watch and always looks so professional. Hope your channel keeps growing :)
Hope you don’t mind me saying Sam but you need to swap the Porsche with F-Type R! Those front lights on the Porsche alone... (said with love).
Radar guided cruise control? Surround cameras? Oh dear... Personally, they remove the raw driving appeal in my opinion. Rely on your wits and your parking skill and it's not an issue. Nice episode though!
Just wondering if you enjoyed being back in an F Type Sam? It didn't really come across on the video! 😉🤣🤣
A beautiful car and nice to see such a positive review. As a lifelong fan of the 911, I would chose the F-Type convertible over the 911 convertible. I fail to see why any car enthusiast would ever require any form of cruise control. Eyes, brakes and an accelerator are quite enough.
Bro...I just got back home from the seaside...I drive an mx5 which has a cruise control, but it ain't adaptive...so after 4 hrs of highway my legg hurts.... its a GT car, ofc it should have an adaptive cruise, especially for that kind of money :Xx also adds to the resale value and stuff....I guess the guy can't talk too much shit so they keep giving him cars, but everybody knows the old F-type is a steal right now...the new one adds nothing to compensate the money you'd have to give :# You can't argue with that one.
Lol, wait what: no annoying radar cruise control, possibly no lane assist that should be called driver irritation system AND no silly 360 camera...that s a virtue and great, this seems to be a proper Jag!
Does one really need 360 cameras and Parallel parking in a small sports car? I think not... I wouldn't have those features on a caymen so why the Jag. A little hyper critical I feel.
Sorry mate, honouring convenience over quality nullifies your ability to influence me on anything! Starbucks, bloody hell!
I think STG was very cool in the 4C and the project 7 replica times. Not so much afterwards.

The 2021 SVR exhaust is better than the R exhaust.
I suggest having a look at the Defender V8, it might be the best of all worlds for you.
Surprised Jaguar engineers overlooked the screen glare given it is a convertible. All they needed to do was put anti-glare films on the TFT display, really cheap and effective solution.
I put 305 Michelin pilot sport 4s tires on my 2015 RWD R. No traction worries. But I don’t often floor it lol
The intro tells ya everything
It does indeed... but please watch the rest haha
Wow all the things you attack McLaren are doubly true for JLR yet here you are shilling for them.. do you think it will last till December?
If you need crap like lane assist and adaptive cruise control (whatever the extra stuff you mentioned about lol) and all of the fancy rubbish that comes with cars these days, you don't deserve to be driving quality cars, go drive a ford focus
I rented one from Avis of all places for a week and almost cried when handing it back. This is a bargain super car... It's just so much more fun than its German rivals.
I reckon the noise is still too much less to match the experience for me...cars lovely but the old one was meaner.. and just more raw!! That's the experience I'm after!
Sam - new subscriber from Australia & about to pull the trigger on a 2019/20 SVR gloss silver / tan leather. Has the same wide screen as this, has there been any further upgrades to the entertainment system
I refer to Starbucks as "Charbucks". The coffee tastes burnt. YUK !!!!!!
The new F type just doesn't cut it.. The old one was why better... Its more a Mazda this one 🤣🤣
I find myself more upset these days with all the aids and gadgets they pack into cars these days. I like analog everything in a car just due to not having to look away from what matters most. I always prefer to go for a drive rather than go for a ride. If the car drives itself....meh.
F-Type V6, F-Type R, LC500, or Porsche Boxster GTS?
So annoyed I was most likely in school when you came through glossop, which annoyingly, is where I live.
Isn't a Cayman a better all round GT sports car? Do I see a comparison video incoming?
I'd be saluting the fact the Jag doesn't have the features you mention that 911s etc have. I just try and turn all that shit off before I drive so fantastic it doesn't have it.
No touchscreen like buttons on the steering wheel, just real buttons yeah! (big plus!!)
So you want an F-type, but you want it with more tech? Who's going to explain it to him.....
Great video....got the vibe of the drive the world series which is a massive positive !...top not content & production
If I could like this twice I would! Such high level content, check out the roads in Torridon if you get the chance when you’re up north!
Are there any good sounding after market exhaust that re-install the balls from this gender bending girlyman exhaust?
Why not just remove the filters after y get the car inspected and when you have to get it inspected you put them back on?
Missed the jaguar F-type. And that spec gave u is dream spec. Butifule country side to enjoy also
I think I spotted you at a service station on the M1, parked up in the corner. It’s a nice looking car!
Can you get your hands on an F Pace SVR for us performance SUV lovers?
