Waitey · May 14, 2015

Going to be a long two week wait to pick it up! Crap iPhone photo's will have to do for now.

AdDaMan · May 14, 2015

Nice. Very nice.

Mr R. · May 14, 2015

Fcuk me.

Bluebeard · May 14, 2015

I love F-types!

Sadly I don't like red. Or convertibles. Or those wheels.

But I do like Jag F-Types.

TheEvilGiraffe · May 14, 2015

Fcuks sake Moaty.

Aren't you supposed to be in China ?

Rob · May 14, 2015

FFS, properly jealous. I seriously love that, like ginger however, I'm not a fan of those wheels.

Being critical, the door-side bolsters look a little worn? Anything that can be done?

LOL

I only like the convertibles in red...

I'd love a coupe but not for summer.

I asked for these wheels as they are the new ones off the R models, luckily someone who ordered a new R couple wanted to swap wheels!

Getting a new drivers seat in it. The stupid posh soft leather isn't up to being on chairs.

36 month HP.

Traded it in Dan, it has 40k on it and its only 13 months old. It's not worth out!

Looks magic in those photos. More jealous now.

AdDaMan · May 14, 2015

Savage depreciation. all the better for you!

Robbles · May 14, 2015

Lovely.

Mr R. · May 14, 2015

I only do 10k a year now. Hence not really needing the BMW anymore!

Matthew · May 14, 2015

Ace. Bloody ace.

Cookie · May 14, 2015

Awesome. They sound so angry all the f**king time. I like that they appear to have mapped it to pop and bang almost the entire time the engine is running.

Poopensharten · May 14, 2015

Well played you f**king homo.

Philip. · May 14, 2015

Meh

c**t.:weary:

That would get tedious after a while.

Yeah good job its switchable, the noise is OTT when the pipes are open.

This one doesn't have the switch to have the exhaust on all the time, I'll be fitting one for when the mood takes but I couldn't listen to it all the time. They make C63's AMG's sound normal.

Philip. · May 14, 2015

LOL that's ridiculous.

Sounds amazing but a time and a place for it. Like you say though, it is there at a flick of a switch if you fancy it. Don't get me wrong, i would be having it on a lot, a f**king lot, but not with family in the car. Couldn't see the mrs, baby and dogs being too impressed!:wink:

What are the perfomance stats on the V8?
A v6 went screaming past me on the M4 when they were cirst out and they sounded immense too! Am i right in saying the v6 has the twin exit exhausts?

Craig · May 14, 2015

Just epic mate. What a hero. They sound awesome

V6 has the twin central exhaust. The wheel choices really make or break them. Some colours suit certain wheels etc. I still can't decide on my favourite colour but Stratus Grey or Ebony Black are up there, along with both reds. It's a hard life looking at so many each day.:smile:

0-60 = 4.2
0-100 = 7.9

50-70 as quick as an Aventador.

Top speed is limited to 186.

This version is the 488bhp/461lb/ft one. For a £500 re-map I can have the full 551bhp/503lb/ft. Not that it needs it all, it's rapid.

Is the remap a performance package from jaguar or aftermarket?

After market. The new R's have the same exact engine, the only difference is the fact the early V8s' are torque limited. Basically you pay a dude with a laptop to turn the limit off if you feel the need for 50bhp.

Gally · May 14, 2015

Oh my. I love them. I drove the V8R coupe for a couple of miles and didn't once remove it from sport or dynamic mode and active exhaust on. Was like a spitfire constantly singing!

One thing I did notice as a passenger, traction breaks... easily. What are the R specs?

Fwiw, the Coupe I drove...
