I am a car enthusiast but this is the first video of yours I came across, watched it till the last second and subscribed. Great job out there, you definitely made me fall in love again with the F type
+Darsh Jain Welcome to the channel! We're glad you enjoyed it :) The F-Type is most definitely an amazing machine, we can't wait to get our hands on other variants to show you guys.
I own a f-type v6 S and test drove the V8 today. It's insane the S is crazy loud , the V8 is absolutely insane. Great review. Gives you real feel. Keep up the great work!
Hey, fellow F type owners. Yea it's brutally quick. 2015 R with RWD, it will rip it in 2nd gear at more than half throttle haha. I hear Michelin 4S tires are a big upgrade over the stock Pirellii P Zeros for better grip, I'll be upgrading when I use these up.
that is a beautiful car if I could afford one i would love to get one everything is wonderful about this car there is like nothing bad about this car beside the RWD version the AWD is a better choice for a 550HP V8 supercharged great review!!!
Great car. No need to compare it to a Corvette. The Jaguar is out of the Corvette's league. I have had 3 Corvettes and one XF Jaguar. I take the Jaguar in for service once a year at no cost. The Corvettes went in about once a week with no loaner and a couple days to repair any minor problems.
Well done review... I've been watching this car for awhile and thinking of purchasing. .. you made it more easy. I love Brian cooley's reviews but you was right on spot! Great job sir
The V8 gets 29 mpg hwy in 8th. Also, a $700 Racechip GTS Black works seamlessly, Dynos at 630 HP. Add a $200 supercharger pulley for a cool 652 HP Dyno, the ZF8 is good to 800 HP.
You guys get speeding tickets? Her in BC, Canada if we go 40 km above the speed limit, so lets say the speed limit was 50 km, and I went to 90 km for a few seconds and get caught, the cops tow our car to the impound and hold it for a week. Yes, thats quite horrible.
Maan I love the F-Type exterior design and interior styling...very impressed with Jaguar. And yes that exhaust sounds soo good, very similar to Ferrari
Such a disappointment on that interier. They should've broken that up with some color and taken that stitch on the seats to the dash. Also those pop up vents are one more thing to break. A car like that shouldn't have to resort to cheap tricks. GREAT VID MY MAN, KEEP CLIMBING!!!!
I agree, I have one. Interior is just OK imo. Car is flat out sick. Those smiles and laughs - After 3 years of ownership, still getting them. Just bought a 2020 V8!!
The convertible is sooooooooo much louder to the driver. The RWD version is wickedly faster than the AWD: its 300 lbs lighter with half the transmission losses for about 25% more WHP to weight.
Thx for pointing that out. I'm trying to decide which model to get, the S or R or the XF. I love the exhaust sound so whichever gives me that pleasure is pretty much the way I'm going to go. The only thing I dislike is the crackle of the exhaust. I like a steady roar, the crackle reminds me of the olden days when your timing was off...Lol

I have the V8R convertible here in the UK. If you drive it in snow/rain mode you can get 38MPG , however if you drive it how it should be then you'll get about 8!
Good looking car, great sound. Most people prefer a bullet proof car at its price point, no matter how good it looks. Wonder how many owners looked on as a Porsche passed by their stranded Jag?
Great review! You captured all the relevant points. Manufacturer's 0-60 mph is a very conservative number. Having owned and driven many cars, my F type V8S convertible is a car that consistently makes me smile and laugh when driving it ! It is just so fast and with the 2WD version I have, requires my attention at all times. Even now, I laugh every time I floor it. The only point I would make as a mechanical engineer is that you should refer to torque values in lb-ft please :-)
As a current owner.. Cannot tell you how amazing this car looks and drives... Everyone everyday looks at it.. You just dont see a lot of them on the road.. I like it that way..I let. Every valet driver take it for a spin.. Why?... Why not.. We only live once.. Peace ✌️
Great review of the car. It has always been one of my favorite sports cars The look of the car as you mentioned is beautiful The performance is awesome So I bought one this week now that it is affordable at less than half price It is a mint condition White exterior with red /black interior Low mileage It does have the carbon fiber 20 inch wheels with the red calipers brakes I didn't want the ceramic brakes Thank you for the great review and inspiring guys like me to buy one
I have the 2018 F Type V8 and love it! I have all the extra packages and very pleased with it. I agree the stereo needs updating. My car is actually in the shop for almost 2 weeks now due to the recall of the stereo where they had to order a part from the UK. Hope to get it back this week. Love driving this car♥️
Excellent review as always! I'm seriously considering this car.. compared the base model and S model vs Porsche Cayman Base and S model, and this car is by far faster and louder. It handles exceptionally well, but not as well as the Porsche. I'm really curious why @redlinereviews chose the Cayman GTS over this for his personal ride ;-)
Whelp, time to save some pennies and trade my 2015 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker on an F-type in a couple of years. Sorry American muscle..., I'm committing treason and going for British muscle.
Dude ur waisting time on the display U should be driving this car on the edge. By the seat of ur pants oblivious to weather the seat is hot or cold totally immersed in the thunder eminating from the exhaust Oh, has it got a stereo ! I never noticed
Everyone knows what a Corvette and Mustang is and they have seen plenty. People still don't know what the F-type is. It looks way cooler. I have a 2016 R.
+sofyanbey +Redline Reviews What an absolutely great work of art review. It was impossible for you not to laugh of the start. I do understand that this car is a bargain at $120,000.00.
An interesting review, however, did you never hear of the XKR??? FROM 4.0 TO 5.0 Suprcharged (1998-2014)? The E type you quote was designated the XKE, abbreviated to E Type - note the letters XK. THIS was the replacement for the E type, after the XJS. Maybe a Jaguar history check is required here before saying factual errors
v6 is more practical. U can drive it daily. may be road trip. costs less to maintain. no points if getting 500hp+ car that you never drag or race it at the track. defeats the purpose. People focus too much on specs. Think about practicality. I bought lexus rc350 fsport v6 not rcf v8 for the same reasons!!!
I'd Genuinely Like To See The V6 S Put Up Against A Corvette C7 GS. Both Look Great (Might Be Subjective Entirely, To Be Fair), Sound Godly & Intoxicating, Are $85K-$90K Well-Specced. And They're Both Are Great Driver's Cars. But, I Don't Want An Instrumented Test; More People Driving It, While Babbling On About The Feel; The Steering, The Brakes & Throttle, And Whatsoever.
I like that they added AWD, but that added more weight which this car didn't need. Now I'm finding out they switched from hydraulic power steering to EPS. Damn shame. And no manual available on the V8....
I have a RWD V8 in rainy Britain, it's absolutely fine. It can be a bit slow off the line in the wet, but it's tons of fun and not at all unpredictable.
Redline Reviews, and in this video Sofyan talks about the Jaguar F-Type R for 10 minutes and giggles like a school kid whilst mashing the go pedal for the other 17 minutes. :D
Porsche 911 gt3 is a whole different kettle of fish than this bad boy. The Carreras 4s would be a more direct competitor. Great review though, the engine sounds is fucking insane.
Good Lord! I'm old enough to remember when cars were meant to be driven. I had an XKE, get in, turn on, drive, smile. Is there a college level course on all the crap distracting from the actual experience?
Great review!! Well done. Hopefully you'll be able to get your hands on the R's replacement the rumoured 600 HP SVR and do another review. LOVE the R. Gives cars costing double or triple a SERIOUS run for the money. And beats them IMHO. There might be faster (on paper) cars but few can offer "performance + elegance + sporty styling + sexiness" in one car. They are usually "just sporty" or "just elegant". Only other manufacttuer to offer "elegance + sportiness" would be Aston Martin. Ferrari's are IMHO "sporty + sexy"...not "elegant". Porsche 911's...sporty. This is a near faultless design Only thing I don't like is that if you opt for the carbon ceramic brakes you're forced to take the one wheel design. While ok looking is not the one I'd choose. I prefer the "carbon fibre wheel". Maybe there's an aftermarket rim out there that will fit. He brings up good points. Not rehashing what's been said. And the test was done on city roads and highways where this car will actually be driven. Not on the track. Or doing 0-60 runs. Do a review of the 2015 or 2016 911 Cayman GTS next. Or GT4. :)
Podcast I follow, the parents bought a Type R. How come this car is not common? Its beautiful, sounds fantastic, reliably seems great.. what am I missing?
Thanks,debating between this and the400 sport. Just sold my E93 M3 a few months ago.I'm getting long in the tooth,so wondering ,if I can go from an 8 to a 6. Now! lol
This isn't a "muscle car" it's a true sports car. Mustangs, Challengers and Camaro's are muscle cars. If you're calling it a "British Corvette" then how can it be a muscle car?
valet mode? yeah those videos of top gear sheading Bentley tyres due to torque would not lend to giving the keys of the old 530ho SC to anyone not a trained tamed racing car driver. it jumps out like an old firebird trans am could in the day of big block but with the nose and width in controls figure the bumps on the road the price of the ride.
ok - for forcing me to watch a 30 seconds Lidl add without skip button, I will tell my wife to not go shopping at LIdl and Kaufland for the next 2 weeks. That's a contraproductive advertisment. (nothing to do with Redline Reviews).
Thanks for the review. I am in the market for a used 2016-2018 model one that has taken the depreciation hit which is wicked. To me the car is deliriously beautiful. I have this continuing concern about mechanical stability aka quality of the Jaguar product compared to for example the better German products such as MB and Porsche. The Porsche exudes quality though I think its an ugly car from a styling standpoint. The Jag interior seems a bit under conceived considering the price point and mystique of Jaguar. The question is, has Jaguar improved its quality of construction? Is it a good car or can I expect it to shake rattle and roll nickel and diming me (or maybe 1K ing me) for ever. Is it a value trap? I would love to know because I am in love with the look of the car.
it's too new to tell its reliability. Jaguar is known to be unreliable. I like this car very much too! german cars are money pits! i would never buy one. i'll lease one if i can.
If you had the chance to sit in one and fire up the engine it'll bring a tear to your head. Just an awesome exhaust. I'm a young guy but the classic E-type was something I dreamed of owning as a kid. This is that and a kick in the butt amazing. I love the comment by the reviewer - "piss of your neighbors..." with the crackling exhaust. Too funny. If I'm fortunate to buy one then I can care less. They can move. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow. God please.
I love to see your smile and hear your chuckle while accelerating. I do the same thing with my 2015 R Coupe. This is the most fantastic car I have ever owned! Unfortunately in Southern California, the traffic is so heavy that I haven't been able to go faster than 121 before I have to slow down. I am going to trade it in for the 2016 XJ as soon as my order goes through because my back is not in good shape and I need more comfort. I am SO glad that I bought it but it has to go. :-(
i dont like it how these new cars always have those plastic covers ontop of the engine, i always take them off cause it looks stupid, do they even provide any benefit other than appearance ?
It really doesn't come across the microphone and video how much of a difference open vs closed is. You have to hear it in person. Closed is A LOT quieter, or rather, open is a lot LOUDER than this makes it out to be.
its not as fast as peole may think i was thinking of buyin one of these for the track but i went with the gtr i find that it accelerates to slowly for my taste

+Svere Style Ya don't say.....
Lol
Yep bc he was at 200 mph LOL
This is without a doubt my dream car. That exhaust cannot be topped by anything on the market today!
I own one (fully loaded 2016 F-Type) and its fantastic. I agree with you 100%
That's! how you drive a jaguar soyfan! Drive it like you stole it.
Jonathan Washington yup
"It's the last one, I promise"
*30 secs later
*Slams on the gas
*Laughs maniacally
"HAHAHAHA!"
In quiet mode, unless you are full throttle, the F-Type is completely silent. It makes absolutely no noise.
really like the F type. car sounds like a machine gun lol.
Would take it any day over the 911.
Both are great.
I'd be stupid to not pick the 911
Idk man this car is dope af. But the 911 is on another level.

I own a f-type v6 S and test drove the V8 today. It's insane the S is crazy loud , the V8 is absolutely insane. Great review. Gives you real feel. Keep up the great work!
I bought a 2016 F-type R. I have not driven it 100% yet but put 50-60% on the throttle and it created chaos.
Hey, fellow F type owners. Yea it's brutally quick. 2015 R with RWD, it will rip it in 2nd gear at more than half throttle haha. I hear Michelin 4S tires are a big upgrade over the stock Pirellii P Zeros for better grip, I'll be upgrading when I use these up.
Anze G Yeah. Everyone chooses the PS4. I have those on my XJ. I will get them for the F-type too when it’s time.

Do a review of the 2015 or 2016 911 Cayman GTS next. Or GT4. :)
Podcast I follow, the parents bought a Type R. How come this car is not common? Its beautiful, sounds fantastic, reliably seems great.. what am I missing?
Thanks,debating between this and the400 sport. Just sold my E93 M3 a few months ago.I'm getting long in the tooth,so wondering ,if I can go from an 8 to a 6. Now! lol
The less technology with the car is the reason it doesn’t break lol
This isn't a "muscle car" it's a true sports car. Mustangs, Challengers and Camaro's are muscle cars. If you're calling it a "British Corvette" then how can it be a muscle car?
valet mode? yeah those videos of top gear sheading Bentley tyres due to torque would not lend to giving the keys of the old 530ho SC to anyone not a trained tamed racing car driver. it jumps out like an old firebird trans am could in the day of big block but with the nose and width in controls figure the bumps on the road the price of the ride.
ok - for forcing me to watch a 30 seconds Lidl add without skip button, I will tell my wife to not go shopping at LIdl and Kaufland for the next 2 weeks. That's a contraproductive advertisment. (nothing to do with Redline Reviews).
Thanks for the review. I am in the market for a used 2016-2018 model one that has taken the depreciation hit which is wicked. To me the car is deliriously beautiful. I have this continuing concern about mechanical stability aka quality of the Jaguar product compared to for example the better German products such as MB and Porsche. The Porsche exudes quality though I think its an ugly car from a styling standpoint. The Jag interior seems a bit under conceived considering the price point and mystique of Jaguar. The question is, has Jaguar improved its quality of construction? Is it a good car or can I expect it to shake rattle and roll nickel and diming me (or maybe 1K ing me) for ever. Is it a value trap? I would love to know because I am in love with the look of the car.
it's too new to tell its reliability. Jaguar is known to be unreliable. I like this car very much too! german cars are money pits! i would never buy one. i'll lease one if i can.
I have a 2016 R. Bought it used with 2 years of warranty. Have had it for 3 months now. I trust it and it has no issues.
@@vika0194 how has it been holding up?
@@marcalexander6450 Well. Just the center air vents failed to rise. Went in to the dealer and they fixed it under warranty.
If you had the chance to sit in one and fire up the engine it'll bring a tear to your head. Just an awesome exhaust.
I'm a young guy but the classic E-type was something I dreamed of owning as a kid. This is that and a kick in the butt amazing.
I love the comment by the reviewer - "piss of your neighbors..." with the crackling exhaust. Too funny. If I'm fortunate to buy one then I can care less. They can move.
Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow. God please.
I'll wait till 2019 or 2020 to pick one up @_@
Nah it wouldn’t piss your neighbors, it will rather turn them on cus it sounds so FUCKING GOOD!
Im officialy in love. its got so much character and spunk. i wonder how maintiance and realiability is?
aky19832001 It's actually very reliable, alot of people Have been daily driving it and it had No or very little problems!
After 1-2 years
Being that this is a British car, it's necessary to mention that "spunk" means something entirely different in Britain.
I love to see your smile and hear your chuckle while accelerating. I do the same thing with my 2015 R Coupe. This is the most fantastic car I have ever owned! Unfortunately in Southern California, the traffic is so heavy that I haven't been able to go faster than 121 before I have to slow down.
I am going to trade it in for the 2016 XJ as soon as my order goes through because my back is not in good shape and I need more comfort.
I am SO glad that I bought it but it has to go. :-(
Beast!
i dont like it how these new cars always have those plastic covers ontop of the engine, i always take them off cause it looks stupid, do they even provide any benefit other than appearance ?
lmao i thought the first rev already had the valves open
It really doesn't come across the microphone and video how much of a difference open vs closed is. You have to hear it in person. Closed is A LOT quieter, or rather, open is a lot LOUDER than this makes it out to be.
I would think someone with the money to buy a jag would be smart enough to not buy an iphone :D
"its not going to kill you" lol
its not as fast as peole may think i was thinking of buyin one of these for the track but i went with the gtr i find that it accelerates to slowly for my taste
I thought this car and the gtr don't compete against each other
Ahmed Kashif well here in canada the f type r is 117k and nissan gtr black edition is 120k so i personally cross shopped them
+Aaron Chandra oh okay but class wise do they compare I thought this is more of a gt car and the GTR a track car
Very nice ride, I’m not a huge fan of the rear but still very nice.
Have you seen an R in real life? I have one. It looks extreme from the rear.
beautiful beast car! me too. not a huge fan of the rear of the coupe. id prefer the convertible.
There is a 'U' in Jaguar - also the back looks shit
