All F-TYPE have a 5.0 Supercharged V8 engine with the R-Dynamic P450’s 331kW, to the neck-snapping 423kW F-TYPE R. All have a Switchable Active Sports Exhaust system with quad pipes.

The V8 engines are mated to eight-speed Quickshift automatics, with manual paddles

The new 331kW/580Nm P450 is rear wheel drive only, and has a 0-100 km/h of 4.6 seconds and a maximum speed of 285km/h.

The standard R-Dynamic Pack finishes the look, and comes with 20-inch, six split-spoke wheels with gloss dark grey and contrast diamond turned finish.

The F-TYPE R Coupé has added value for 22MY, with standard:- Metallic, Premium or SVO Gloss Metallic Paint, Fixed Panoramic Roof, Exterior Design Black Pack, Aluminium Gearshift paddles, 20” Satin Grey 5-Split Spoke alloys, Blind Spot Assist Pack, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

All F-TYPE’s are have Jaguar’s Adaptive Dynamics system with Configurable Dynamics. Using electronically controlled, continuously variable dampers, Adaptive Dynamics optimises both low-speed comfort and high-speed control, while Configurable Dynamics enables the driver to tailor the settings for suspension stiffness, steering weight, throttle response and gearshifts.

All V8 F-TYPEs benefit from the Quiet Start function: the electrically actuated bypass valves in the rear silencer remain closed until they automatically open up under load. If desired, Quiet Start can be over-ridden by selecting Dynamic Mode or by pressing the switchable exhaust button before starting the engine.

The driver-focussed ‘1+1’ interior, like the exterior, has evolved into a purer expression of the car’s elegance and performance. By concentrating on further refining the traditionally British Jaguar craftsmanship and adding discreet, beautiful details, the sense of luxury and sportiness has been heightened.

The 22MY F-TYPE range features a 12.3” Interactive Driver Display, 10” touch Pro with connected navigation, and a Meridian Sound System boasting 380W and 10 speakers including 2 subwoofers, DAB+, Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
