Carlos Lagos Reviews the F-Type V8 S in the Canyons
The Jagur F-Type is not the E-type. It is supposed to be the successor to that car, but the sooner the automotive world steps away from making that comparison, the better off we’ll be at appreciating the F-Type for what it is: a totally modern sports car. While the E-Type is pretty much the definition of beauty the F-Type sets out to do more than just look pretty.
In the case of the V8S, it sets out to be very, very fast.
MotorTrend’s Carlos Lago gets behind the wheel of the F-Type in their review and runs it through the canyons of Malibu in southern California. As with any car like this, the experience of driving it is more important that a pure comparison of numbers. Tearing up the canyons with the roof down is certainly a great way to experience it. Regardless the numbers are pretty dang good. The supercharged 5-liter V8 outputs 488 horsepower with 461 lb-ft of torque. The car itself is heavy at 4000 lbs, but it doesn’t seem like Carlos is bothered by that.
Ultimately, the question for any car is this bracket is how it compares to the 911. Better? Worse? Or just different? See what MT thinks in the video below.
