Never cease to give us a good laugh during your reviews, Joe. 😂. I’m pretty sure nobody is ok with having 2” less of virtually anything. Another fun review and yes, that’s one gorgeous vehicle!
The fact that this morning I rented one of these from Turo for when I go to Valrico next month and then I hop on TH-cam to see you post a review video of this just made me even more for sure on my decision on renting one of these. Love it!
I agree with you not only are they not making the SVR trim anymore but there's something about the new design that is jarring to me it's undoubtedly the new front grill I just don't like it but I like everything else I have to wonder if financial reasons played a part in them not making the SVR trim anymore I hope they reconsider. I would also suspect that other players in the price bracket and more mechanical reliability also played a role but I'm not sure I've read many reports saying that jaguars are a pain in the neck to work on and my father before the 2008 collapse he loved them but he always said the same thing and he was a dealer
matt manley They’re still making the F-Type SVR but under a new name. F-Type R. Same V8 pumping 575 hp with 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 186mph. Weird performance is worse than the previous generation.
Joe you always crack me up with your "high speed run warmup routine"! My favorite part is watching the car behind you in the rearview mirror disappear when you floor it. I know how that feels as I have a 2012 XK-R with (only) 510 HP version of this engine, and when the F-Type came out I wasn't really wowed. I still think the XK looks better but 2017 was the year the F-Type caught my attention. The aero, the sound, the priority of sport more than luxury; this is when it actually became different enough from the XK for me to actually consider adding to my collection. Mine is 8 years old and roars like a---well, you know! :-)
Loved your review and love your channel, Joe! Seeing you review my car was awesome! I own the same exact one including carbon roof and brakes. The sound is indeed "eargasmic!"
That was a fun review - I really enjoy your "dramatic humor"! Coincidentally I bought an SVR 2 months ago after being in Stuttgart to visit my son and taking in all the Porsche magic. Emotions are known to make the biggest decision, and we both thought the F Type was the car we longed for even if some of the numbers would say otherwise and I have been a Porsche fan for 40 years.. The looks and sounds of that thing are the killer surprise pounce!
Great exhaust. Good looker. I had a 1998 xk8 convertable for 10 years, 134k miles, then traded it. Good car, good price and miles. Got hook on 911's now.
You're in top form here Joe, and brought this car's true performance to life. I would suggest you mix up the approach to photography and capture more wide angle beauty shots of the cars alone, let us really see them in their glory. How's your darling Lorrie?
I just bought a 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR and can't wait until it lands in my driveway. You literally got me excited all over again. I can't wait! BTW, great review.
@@clevelandfan2286 Best purchase I have ever made. I still have it, I take it to a lot of car events and it turns a lot of heads. Thinking about getting Velocity AP mods and getting it up to 700 HP. If you're thinking about getting one, get the R or SVR. They are rare and eventually, the price on them will go up if you take care of it.
@@amgloverboy that was what i was wondering about. modding potential and taking it to meets. sounds amazing stock so if there’s tuning potential to make it sound even better that would be nice
@@amgloverboy Bad ass car bro! Im proud to be a part of the family as well. I picked up a '17 R last year after trading in my supercharged C7 Vette for it.
Personally I think so and I love the F-Type I've even had the pleasure of seeing one in real life. I think the main problem with Jaguar is that they are really expensive and I'm no mechanic but I've heard that they're incredibly prone to mechanical problems as well. If I'm wrong on this I would love some correction but I do think the SVR is one of the most gorgeous exhausts notes on the market it's sad that they are not making the trim anymore and personally I don't know what it is but I don't particularly love the redesign of the car itself I think you already reviewed the new refresh I'm not sure. Personally I like the old look here and I like the SVR trim but the f type as a whole you don't see a lot of them and that's why it makes them special.
"Awesome car, and it only had 15 miles on it. It drove great til June of 2016 when I got a check engine light, took it in and they said it was a fuel door issue. 20 miles later the light goes off.. and then it comes back on, I take it in.. same thing happens aka "Fuel door was open". I finally got that fixed when they replaced the fuel door. Current time spent at dealer: 4 days Next was my speakers, they had a huge buzz coming from any song with a bit of bass so they ripped out my speakers on both doors and replaced them.. didn't fix it. Ended up being a software update for the speakers. Current time spent at dealer: 10 days Exhaust leak started happening with my car so they replaced the exhaust system because it started triggering CEL's (again). Current time spent at dealer: 20 days For a year, absolutely nothing happened until around October of 2017 my supercharger decided to implode on itself because I started hearing a ticking noise with RPM, but no CEL.. ended up that the S/C housing itself got loosened up and started developing belt slap aka (super loose S/C belt). This is where my journey begins... Dropped it off in Late October.. had the supercharger replaced which took 20 days and they got my car back. Current time spent at dealer: 40 days I get in the car, instantly I hear the sound again and drive it back. They tear the motor apart a few days later and find it was extremely low on oil and started knocking (1 liter of 5 liters was actually in the motor and the oil meter DIDN'T work + no CEL's at all). They order a new motor for me as well as another supercharger to get it all in in one-go. Current time spent at dealer: 70 days A whole month goes by and they say the motor is here and they should be up and running in about a week or two. Current time spent at dealer: 100 days Another month goes by and they tell me a tech screwed up and stripped a chassis bolt that connects the motor to the frame and needs to order a back-ordered part... and they kept this up til 80 days later, I get a call telling me they ended up just welding the bolt back in and gave it to me. Current time spent at dealer: 185 days First thing I notice driving the car out of the dealership is there is some power steering whine on full lock that is VERY prevalent and that the car thumps (you feel a thud in the foot well) when going in between gears like reverse and drive or even a brief start accelerating (very noticeable) and luckily I have already been talking to Jaguar and started this process a while ago to get a replacement car but they have been VERY slow to communicate. Now the car just sits in my garage because I'm too scared something will break if I hit (accelerate) it, it almost sounds like the transmission is loose in the car so I'm letting it sit til they have to come get it."
I looked at one a few months ago and was just blown away.It was a 2017 SVR with 12k miles for 58k.When I checked Carfax--it had been bought back by the dealer under the lemon law--which is not just someone angry or regretting a purchase--it had to have some thing really and provably wrong.Was told the car was sluggish and had electrical glitches and was fixed by jaguar.Luckily I have an honest friend who works at Toyota--as a mechanic--he has no bias and just gives honest opinions.He said they--like you said are spotty and expensive to repair--bTW he said all the European cars are called lemons.I bought a stinger Gt with AWD after doing research.The KIA was beat up in the desert for millions of miles--german and European cars are tested in the cooler European areas where it is cool and they can run wide open--which is actually good for a car--because it blows out carbons and deposits.One last thing--I had to take a business trip and got a brand new rental a6 AUDI--6k miles--is a 70k car.I will write a review--but the AUDI was more comfortable interior better then the stinger--but not twice as much and the kicker.The AUDI had one thing I loved--the center dash had a feature for a 3d nav/map/GPS.Man it was the only thing I really would have liked on my stinger--it stopped working right after I past chatanooga on the way to Nashville and never came back on--an orange light flicked--some arning--then a digital compass appeared.My phone GPS had to be used--and my escort radar had GPS and was also getting a signal--also the MPH were in MPH--but the fuel mileage--torque--temp and all the other info was in KMH and NM and kilometers per min or something for gas.Found out car had to have a computer reset only 2 European cars I drove or considered buying and both were nearly new/new and already had problems.
Country driving is what you should do! I drive my 2017 SVR in New Zealand. Hills, mountains, coastline! It is stupendous. Porsche not as much fun... Merc just another Merc. Vantage?! Almost as good and very expensive, but sexy looks to the max!!!!
I know you're job is to sale a car, but I do like how you give history and info that most don't know.. FYI while in dynamic mode, pull it over in sport but don't touch the paddles.. you will fine another BEAST mode.. then you will see that 8 Speed ZF really come to life.. only draw back is once you touch a paddle it stays in manual until you move the shiftier back to normal.. LOVE Mine, SVR would be a nice upgrade.
Absolute beauty of a beast!!!! That exhaust note is downright orgasmic!!! Great review as usual Joe!!! This one has 16k on the odometer.... Joe bout to break it in!!! OOOONNNNNN THROTTLE TIIIIIME!!!!👍🚗💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨
Beautiful vehicle. The exterior looks absolutely stunning. Did 2016 cars have ventilated seats? Not sure I would’ve zonked it for that reason. $74k for this particular model with 16,000 miles on on it is fair. You’re having way too much fun Mr. Raiti. 😀 This car would be perfect for me but it would upset the Mrs because of the price. Excellent review - this was one of my favorites. 👍
Raiti I believe I've posted before but I've actually had the pleasure of seeing and hearing a GT4 the 2016 model before they are now in mass production I even had dinner with the owner on the spot completely nice man total stranger and he was so excited that somebody knew what his car was I'm a huge fan of the GT4 that this man I think we had like $250 worth of seafood totally on a whim over a car.
The spoiler is functional At 70mph, and retracts back at 50mph. To work the spoiler while stationary. The car needs to be in accessory mode, then you push the button.
Good Video the Hood Vents Same Style as a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP , or the Stick on ones Ebay Sells .!!!! Brakes at 14" Eh , 2021 Tahoe PPV - 6 Pot Calipers with 16" of GIRTH !!!!! the Exhaust on this CAR is INSANE in the Membrane
Good review but a lot of errors... that spoiler is active and adjustable and the button inside does work you have to have the engine off Ignition in acc. mode and in motion it adjusts automatically to speed and throttle... and that wasn't carbon fiber on the lower front lip/spoiler just plastic all f-types have active wings non are fixed only svr-base even the ones without the appearance have one hidden that deploys almost cooler then the svr version
Lov this car an review. I think we might be on the same page that the refresh doesn't look as good as this body style. This Jag Svr is a gem. Tbh...I believe this is a legend in it's own right.
I agree with you Joe, this car is sexy. Beautiful design. They did a great job redesigning it though. But this one, is gorgeous. The proportion is just great
@@RaitisRides love this old design better and the headlights on the 2020 are beautiful. For 2020 they took some of those obnoxious bangs and pops away. Just enough to enjoy the car even more. I had a 17 F type R and believe me it was obnoxious over time. The 2020 SVR might be the last V/8 jaguar does in the F type.
I don't like them cause they got early 2000 ford focus headlights and no back seats.I wish they continued the XK and just gave it the F-Type rear end for a new body style and make the back seats with enough room in the back seats to sit in like a mustang or Camaro
You know someone has to drive these awesome machines. Carving it up on the twisties with the exhaust booming away. It’s a tough job. Thank you for the public service Joe 😂
Greetings Brother 💪🏽 I’m close to trading my 2019 Camaro ZL1 1LE with 14,000 miles for a 2017 Jaguar SVR with 5,400 miles…please let me know what you think! Love the reviews!
Your drive overlooks four main things: (1) The SVR is a slower GT version of the original F-Type sports car. "Sports car" meaning, a purpose built, soft top, 2 seater with racing power. The 911 is a 4 seat family sedan with rear weight bias. The 911s successor, the 928 is a much better comparison to an SVR as it was a massive improvement as a front mid-engine 50/50 V8 GT, but 1977 is just too much of a time gap to cover. (2) The 911 predates the sound wars the original F-Type started, and the SVR post-dates it. Any June 2016+ F-Type has the sound reduced software, sadly. A dealer "upgraded" my 2014 software once. If Jag hadn't developed a patch-back due to the bevy of owner complaints, I don't know what would have happened. Its takes the car from a 10 to a 4. Still, way better than any Porsche, but not original F worthy. (3) Styling is subjective, but I think all would agree the 911 is the poster child of dated styling, and most would agree the original 1938 Type 64 is still the most modern looking car in the 911/Beetle family. Porsche tried with the awesome 928, but found 911 owners buy the past not the future. IOWs, they want a recognizable "Porsche." (4) Because the F's AJ133 ships so detuned due to ZF8HP70 official torque limits, a mild $1000 tune brings back the 10L displacement (5L @ 2 atmospheres) 700HP/700 ft-lbs the F-Type was meant to be. Yes, we are over-torquing the amazing transmission, but the ZF8 handles it with ease. The 911 Turbo S 6 cylinder just can't reach into the same torque class as an unleashed, but quite reasonable 10L V8. The F is so much faster on the street its not a contest. Granted, mine is RWD 3600 pounds @ 700 HP vs your SVR GT's 3900 @ 575. And then there is perhaps the biggest difference, I'm on Cup 2s vs Jags OEM passenger car tires. 🤷
@@1stdefenseinc Velocity AP is solid. Don't let clueless reviewers who spend a minute or two driving the car regurgitate urban legend. 911s are in no way competitive with the monster F-Type. In fact, the F-Type has two 911 size engines and the same or less weight in a pure Jag sports car. The 911 is intended to be a family sedan with child seating that is reality is very slow by comparison, plus has Porsche's bottom in the world build quality. The 911 is ranked dead last among all cars by the repairpal database that objectively analyzes tens of millions of repair invoices. Porsches are disgraceful cars, ranked 32 of 32 of all manufacturers, complete junk. Look at the data. If you want a good, amateur side-by-side, check out Christina Kahlil's (a popular underwear model) drive of the two one after the other. She compares an original 495HP F-Type to a 911. Bottom line, driving the F was "the best day of my life." "The 911 was the slowest and most disappointing car I have driven so far."
Being brutally honest...the SVR is basically a Type-R with a few upgrades here and there. Mainly to the wheels, exhaust (R is split-piped) and interior. Other than that, and a few other things, not too much. Both are lighting-fast!
I love this car. Its just too bad I cannot fit inside this car comfortably (I have tried on a few occasions). 6'5" tall, so finding a car roomy enough for me is hard. Still one of my favorite cars on the road though! Great review Joe!
Hello! I have a question about some Mustangs! So my family is looking into buying a Mustang, and we have three options. A 2017 Mustang Premium, a 2019 Mustang Premium, and 2019 Mustang Coupe. Which One would y'all recommend? We are not sure which one would be best and know you know a lot about cars and we would love some help! Thanks!
Definitely worth it. Yes there's Porsches, Bmw's and other cars. But this is special and exclusive. Would be hard not to look back at it after you park it. #Jagggggggggg
@@RaitisRides I personally think on all cars the drivers seat had to be totally comfortable, so when trying a car to buy, don’t overlook comfortably, if not you’ll start to hate your car. Right ????
My personal opinion the 911 is much better then this vehicle, this vehicle does not handle as well. Also the rims get damaged from heat or any chemical put on them. The interior is great though very well put together.
I drove to Tamps 3 weeks ago to buy this exact car, I was very unhappy with this dealer when I saw the front bumper cover on this car had been removed and the dealership manager told me I did not know what I was talking about! I took my $78K check and drove back to Jacksonville. This dealer treated me like shit! I hope they properly disclose the condition of this car to the next buyer before they drive 3 hours just to be told they are stupid by the dealership employees!
Am I the only one who skips Joe's "origin story" for each car brand at the beginning of his reviews now? None of the other popular car reviewers do that. Call me crazy, but I just want to hear about the car on display, not the entire history of the automobile in America. Nice Jag. I love the color.
Love the reviews but there's one in particular I'm waiting for although I have my doubts that even you with your magic powers would be able to possibly review the new 911 turbo s? Hope to see it soon. If I could physically drive I would either drive a 911 turbo or a GT4. I have a bit of a soft spot for Porsche and seeing both of these in real life and hearing them Not that it matters but yeah just so you know I can't even physically drive So watching your videos it's kind of cathartic for me a guy can dream.
Hi Raiti, this question has been killing me for a while now (can't find the answer anywhere online): are those tall vertical side vents behind the front fenders fully functional? Does air flow from the wheel housing out the sides? Thank you for looking, you are my only hope!!
They are functional yes... they vent heat from the brakes and tires as well as reduce coefficient drag I own a 2017 svr and it was one if the 1st things I checked lol
Imo one of the best looking cars ever made.
Agreed. One of the best looking jaguars EVER made
The sound is even more exceptional, as is the brutal torque and the perfect ZF8. Best sports car ever, and nothing else comes close.
I honestly like the refresh looks wise
Best exhaust ever too
If you feather the gas pedal within 3k-5k rpm eargasm
Never cease to give us a good laugh during your reviews, Joe. 😂. I’m pretty sure nobody is ok with having 2” less of virtually anything. Another fun review and yes, that’s one gorgeous vehicle!
Dude I cried when he said that 😭😂
@@johnmirabal96 so glad I wasn't drinking anything when he said that. I definitely lol though.

This design is better than new generation in my opinion
I totally agree with you Karem!

@@j.phoenix That's because they had the are and the SVR in the previous generation if I'm mistaken correct me but I don't believe I am
matt manley To be honest, I’m not 100% sure. I don’t keep up with Jaguar too much.
I would love to see more cars like this. I didn't realize how awesome this car is. Keep up the great work. I love your channel.
You’re a big reason I just bought my first sports car… it being a blacked out 2017 f type svr.. thank you. wonderful review..
Wow Joe, love the sound of this one. This channel deserves more subs
Thanks Danny for saying that! Will sill get there one step at a time.

Thanks for that info Lee!

911 is too clinically good, SVR is emotion and beauty.

I say Raitti for President! It's awesome that it's job one for him to get the job done with these professional reviews.
The spoiler does adjust just have to hold down the button for a few seconds.

I finally got that fixed when they replaced the fuel door.
Current time spent at dealer: 4 days
Next was my speakers, they had a huge buzz coming from any song with a bit of bass so they ripped out my speakers on both doors and replaced them.. didn't fix it. Ended up being a software update for the speakers.

Exhaust leak started happening with my car so they replaced the exhaust system because it started triggering CEL's (again).

First thing I notice driving the car out of the dealership is there is some power steering whine on full lock that is VERY prevalent and that the car thumps (you feel a thud in the foot well) when going in between gears like reverse and drive or even a brief start accelerating (very noticeable) and luckily I have already been talking to Jaguar and started this process a while ago to get a replacement car but they have been VERY slow to communicate.

I've seen a handful in the wild for years, the SVR even more rare. For the used price that Joe quoted, that's not too shabby!
The only thing I wish the older style had was no crossbar in the front. If the entire grill was open, it would look even more menacing.
I looked at one a few months ago and was just blown away.It was a 2017 SVR with 12k miles for 58k.When I checked Carfax--it had been bought back by the dealer under the lemon law--which is not just someone angry or regretting a purchase--it had to have some thing really and provably wrong.Was told the car was sluggish and had electrical glitches and was fixed by jaguar.Luckily I have an honest friend who works at Toyota--as a mechanic--he has no bias and just gives honest opinions.He said they--like you said are spotty and expensive to repair--bTW he said all the European cars are called lemons.I bought a stinger Gt with AWD after doing research.The KIA was beat up in the desert for millions of miles--german and European cars are tested in the cooler European areas where it is cool and they can run wide open--which is actually good for a car--because it blows out carbons and deposits.One last thing--I had to take a business trip and got a brand new rental a6 AUDI--6k miles--is a 70k car.I will write a review--but the AUDI was more comfortable interior better then the stinger--but not twice as much and the kicker.The AUDI had one thing I loved--the center dash had a feature for a 3d nav/map/GPS.Man it was the only thing I really would have liked on my stinger--it stopped working right after I past chatanooga on the way to Nashville and never came back on--an orange light flicked--some arning--then a digital compass appeared.My phone GPS had to be used--and my escort radar had GPS and was also getting a signal--also the MPH were in MPH--but the fuel mileage--torque--temp and all the other info was in KMH and NM and kilometers per min or something for gas.Found out car had to have a computer reset only 2 European cars I drove or considered buying and both were nearly new/new and already had problems.

Absolute beauty of a beast!!!! That exhaust note is downright orgasmic!!! Great review as usual Joe!!! This one has 16k on the odometer.... Joe bout to break it in!!! OOOONNNNNN THROTTLE TIIIIIME!!!!👍🚗💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨
Great car. Thanks for your funny reviews, I love to watch it. Greetings from Berlin.
I am so glad that I can bring them to you! One of these days I want to come do some reviews in Germany.
@@RaitisRides Yes, that would be great. Hopefully the world gets better quickly and Corona goes away.
Beautiful vehicle. The exterior looks absolutely stunning. Did 2016 cars have ventilated seats? Not sure I would’ve zonked it for that reason. $74k for this particular model with 16,000 miles on on it is fair. You’re having way too much fun Mr. Raiti. 😀 This car would be perfect for me but it would upset the Mrs because of the price. Excellent review - this was one of my favorites. 👍
That front facial was so distinct on the former F Type idk why Jaguar changed it, to me now the look is so blended ...great review 👍
If it's not broke don't fix it.
Enjoy enjoy enjoy. Well done sir. I’ve got a 2020 used SVR coming 2600 miles.......maybe the last one. Who knows. Haven’t seen one coming in 2021
Start up @8:15
Thanks!
I'll have a Cayman 718 gt4 please.
I need to get my hands on one of those!
Raiti I believe I've posted before but I've actually had the pleasure of seeing and hearing a GT4 the 2016 model before they are now in mass production I even had dinner with the owner on the spot completely nice man total stranger and he was so excited that somebody knew what his car was I'm a huge fan of the GT4 that this man I think we had like $250 worth of seafood totally on a whim over a car.
Raiti's Rides definitely check out the comment before lol definitely not us with our twinkies, and sure not a bmw owner!
This is the one! It's the one car I don't care about reliability with...it's so worth it.
That shade of orange is strikingly reminiscent of my great-uncle's Jag.
I noticed this car when you did the Kia. Thank you for doing this cat
The spoiler is functional At 70mph, and retracts back at 50mph. To work the spoiler while stationary. The car needs to be in accessory mode, then you push the button.
Good Video
the Hood Vents Same Style as a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP , or the Stick on ones Ebay Sells .!!!!
Brakes at 14" Eh , 2021 Tahoe PPV - 6 Pot Calipers with 16" of GIRTH !!!!!
the Exhaust on this CAR is INSANE in the Membrane
Working on buying exactly this model, can’t wait already
Glad they put zf 8 speed and jaguar looking back on track! This look so rare exotic car
The back spoiler does raise automatically at certain speeds. Also, there is a button near the gear box that can raise it
You are correct!
Good review but a lot of errors... that spoiler is active and adjustable and the button inside does work you have to have the engine off Ignition in acc. mode and in motion it adjusts automatically to speed and throttle... and that wasn't carbon fiber on the lower front lip/spoiler just plastic all f-types have active wings non are fixed only svr-base even the ones without the appearance have one hidden that deploys almost cooler then the svr version
Lov this car an review. I think we might be on the same page that the refresh doesn't look as good as this body style. This Jag Svr is a gem. Tbh...I believe this is a legend in it's own right.
I can’t find no svr for nothing
I agree with you Joe, this car is sexy. Beautiful design. They did a great job redesigning it though. But this one, is gorgeous. The proportion is just great
Great video Raiti and thanks for showing me my old neighborhood.. Glad TPD wasn't out while you smashed the gas!! lol
The orange rocket. Great review!
Orange Crush 🍊
@@RaitisRides true...I'm in love with it!
ufff that was some ungodly exhaust note, i loved it Joe, I absolutely love this car
Joe, the “ Rear Diff’s go bad and the oil pan leak. Always buy a car with a Factor Certificate so it’s covered under warranty.
Thanks for that great input Richard!
Sound and look sells this for me
AGREED!
Nobody: Raitis: on throttleyeeeeaahhhh
easily the funniest car review guy LOL I dropped dead when he said 2 inches less
Awesome commentary. Happy New Year 2021
Thank you Willert for saying that! Happy New Year to you!
I felt like i was in the car with you. Im sold
Great review Raiti, thanks for doing it.
Quite a different exhaust tone/frequency than the more baritone F-Pace SVR....cool
Love your videos! Keep it up
Thanks Cory! You are the man!
@@RaitisRides love this old design better and the headlights on the 2020 are beautiful. For 2020 they took some of those obnoxious bangs and pops away. Just enough to enjoy the car even more. I had a 17 F type R and believe me it was obnoxious over time. The 2020 SVR might be the last V/8 jaguar does in the F type.
i think ill be happy even with the none SVR version. looks so good
Great show brother!!!
When you hear "Yeaaaaaah" you know that power hit
I don't like them cause they got early 2000 ford focus headlights and no back seats.I wish they continued the XK and just gave it the F-Type rear end for a new body style and make the back seats with enough room in the back seats to sit in like a mustang or Camaro
18:41 On Throttle! That’s what it’s about. Driving down the twisty roads. Check out Big Bertha!!
You are awesome man!
You know someone has to drive these awesome machines. Carving it up on the twisties with the exhaust booming away. It’s a tough job. Thank you for the public service Joe 😂
Great review ,do agree they should have made a manual gearbox
Wow this car is really nice !! Love the sound . Good review joe👍🏼👍🏼
Greetings Brother 💪🏽 I’m close to trading my 2019 Camaro ZL1 1LE with 14,000 miles for a 2017 Jaguar SVR with 5,400 miles…please let me know what you think! Love the reviews!
Leno said it best, "I don't know if the F-Type handles better than the 911, buts its certainly a lot faster." It handles better, too.
I rather go 911.
Your drive overlooks four main things:
(1) The SVR is a slower GT version of the original F-Type sports car. "Sports car" meaning, a purpose built, soft top, 2 seater with racing power. The 911 is a 4 seat family sedan with rear weight bias. The 911s successor, the 928 is a much better comparison to an SVR as it was a massive improvement as a front mid-engine 50/50 V8 GT, but 1977 is just too much of a time gap to cover.
(2) The 911 predates the sound wars the original F-Type started, and the SVR post-dates it. Any June 2016+ F-Type has the sound reduced software, sadly. A dealer "upgraded" my 2014 software once. If Jag hadn't developed a patch-back due to the bevy of owner complaints, I don't know what would have happened. Its takes the car from a 10 to a 4. Still, way better than any Porsche, but not original F worthy.
(3) Styling is subjective, but I think all would agree the 911 is the poster child of dated styling, and most would agree the original 1938 Type 64 is still the most modern looking car in the 911/Beetle family. Porsche tried with the awesome 928, but found 911 owners buy the past not the future. IOWs, they want a recognizable "Porsche."
(4) Because the F's AJ133 ships so detuned due to ZF8HP70 official torque limits, a mild $1000 tune brings back the 10L displacement (5L @ 2 atmospheres) 700HP/700 ft-lbs the F-Type was meant to be. Yes, we are over-torquing the amazing transmission, but the ZF8 handles it with ease. The 911 Turbo S 6 cylinder just can't reach into the same torque class as an unleashed, but quite reasonable 10L V8. The F is so much faster on the street its not a contest.
Granted, mine is RWD 3600 pounds @ 700 HP vs your SVR GT's 3900 @ 575. And then there is perhaps the biggest difference, I'm on Cup 2s vs Jags OEM passenger car tires. 🤷
@@FFE-js2zp Do you recommend a tuner?
@@1stdefenseinc
Velocity AP is solid. Don't let clueless reviewers who spend a minute or two driving the car regurgitate urban legend. 911s are in no way competitive with the monster F-Type. In fact, the F-Type has two 911 size engines and the same or less weight in a pure Jag sports car.
The 911 is intended to be a family sedan with child seating that is reality is very slow by comparison, plus has Porsche's bottom in the world build quality. The 911 is ranked dead last among all cars by the repairpal database that objectively analyzes tens of millions of repair invoices. Porsches are disgraceful cars, ranked 32 of 32 of all manufacturers, complete junk. Look at the data.
If you want a good, amateur side-by-side, check out Christina Kahlil's (a popular underwear model) drive of the two one after the other. She compares an original 495HP F-Type to a 911. Bottom line, driving the F was "the best day of my life." "The 911 was the slowest and most disappointing car I have driven so far."
I wonder what it’s like driving the SVR. Drove the F-Type R but didn’t really get to push her.
It's a beast!
Being brutally honest...the SVR is basically a Type-R with a few upgrades here and there. Mainly to the wheels, exhaust (R is split-piped) and interior. Other than that, and a few other things, not too much. Both are lighting-fast!
I love this car. Its just too bad I cannot fit inside this car comfortably (I have tried on a few occasions). 6'5" tall, so finding a car roomy enough for me is hard. Still one of my favorite cars on the road though! Great review Joe!
Thanks for letting me share it with you Jace!
my neighbor have one with exact color but he never drive it so I never hear it until now thx Joe...
Great video Joe!!
My jag's seats are cooled, 2017 AWD R Convertible...
looks like a Nissan GTR, a Porsche 911, and a Corvette had a kid
I'd be happy to pick up the groceries in that car. I wish that Mustangs had a glass top option.
Wow! just wow. This puts it in the price of a used gtr. What would you pick Joe
I love this car the sound is amazing
Sweet. We love a bit of SVR action. Let’s get that engine roaring!
I am so glad that you approve Gareth!
Give me those magical words “on throttle!” Such a great sounding car.
@@AbdullahHood You will get two scoops! LOL
I don’t think they will be able to do better than this! I’ll wait a couple more years and grab a low mileage used one for half price!
This Jaguar is so Gorgeous
Hello! I have a question about some Mustangs! So my family is looking into buying a Mustang, and we have three options. A 2017 Mustang Premium, a 2019 Mustang Premium, and 2019 Mustang Coupe. Which One would y'all recommend? We are not sure which one would be best and know you know a lot about cars and we would love some help! Thanks!
Your job is the coolest , I enjoyed all your 🎥 don't comment as much but as long as I 👍👍👍 works 4 both of us !!!!!
" if your okay with 2 inches less, a lot of men have less" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great video. “A lot of guys have less than 8 inches” lol
Great job as usual. Would it be possible to review the 2020 Buick Regal GS?
I need to track one down for you!
Can definitely see a bit of reference of body style taken for Tesla “Model S”
Hi Joe, great video. Can you please review the silver ftype convertable in the back?
When I saw this car behind you in the custom Kia Stinger video I knew you had to review it. XD
Definitely worth it. Yes there's Porsches, Bmw's and other cars. But this is special and exclusive. Would be hard not to look back at it after you park it. #Jagggggggggg
I love ❤️ it. It just to be a little larger like it’s predecessor.
Sheesh! Excellent review. I want one.
I love my orange f type R. Nothing better than downshifting in a tunnel
In your opinion, is the jaguar product better now than 20yrs ago?
Warning ⚠️ Joe very important, do not ask the dealer to update the info center because it quite’s the sound “
So true!
@@RaitisRides I personally think on all cars the drivers seat had to be totally comfortable, so when trying a car to buy, don’t overlook comfortably, if not you’ll start to hate your car. Right ????
Way better looking than the new FType
My personal opinion the 911 is much better then this vehicle, this vehicle does not handle as well. Also the rims get damaged from heat or any chemical put on them. The interior is great though very well put together.
That is the direction I would go in.
Raiti's Rides my opinion is from personal experience between the SVR f-type & a GT3 RS
I drove to Tamps 3 weeks ago to buy this exact car, I was very unhappy with this dealer when I saw the front bumper cover on this car had been removed and the dealership manager told me I did not know what I was talking about! I took my $78K check and drove back to Jacksonville. This dealer treated me like shit! I hope they properly disclose the condition of this car to the next buyer before they drive 3 hours just to be told they are stupid by the dealership employees!
Not gonna lie looks close to a Nissan Z
I see it a little!
Am I the only one who skips Joe's "origin story" for each car brand at the beginning of his reviews now? None of the other popular car reviewers do that. Call me crazy, but I just want to hear about the car on display, not the entire history of the automobile in America. Nice Jag. I love the color.
Love the reviews but there's one in particular I'm waiting for although I have my doubts that even you with your magic powers would be able to possibly review the new 911 turbo s? Hope to see it soon. If I could physically drive I would either drive a 911 turbo or a GT4.
I have a bit of a soft spot for Porsche and seeing both of these in real life and hearing them Not that it matters but yeah just so you know I can't even physically drive So watching your videos it's kind of cathartic for me a guy can dream.
😂😂watched this video like 20 times today🙆♂️🙆♂️That sound is just something else
I am so glad that i could share it with you!
this car sounds great , joe how many Twinkies does it hold ?
Hi Raiti, this question has been killing me for a while now (can't find the answer anywhere online): are those tall vertical side vents behind the front fenders fully functional? Does air flow from the wheel housing out the sides? Thank you for looking, you are my only hope!!
They are functional yes... they vent heat from the brakes and tires as well as reduce coefficient drag I own a 2017 svr and it was one if the 1st things I checked lol
This car is a BEAST!!!
I love the design of the car and this color is amazing.
So do I!
Raiti's Rides I’d still take a 2017 no matter what.
