Passion, power, and prowess – Jaguar F Type R Dynamic P300

_____________________________________________________

Even those who only have a passing interest in cars cannot help but turn their heads when they spot a Jaguar F Type. Really? Yes, really. First shown to audiences in 2013, it mesmerised journalists at the time. Its use of lightweight aluminium, a ferocious front-mid mounted powertrain, and drop-dead gorgeous looks made it stand apart from the rest. Any TopGear fans here will recall the episode where Clarkson waxes lyrical about the V8 example – it was, and still is, a timeless British sports car.

But what would your reaction be to a four-cylinder motor in the new one? Concern? Surprise? Disappointment? But you need not worry. It may be a smaller, more efficient powertrain than Jag has traditionally opted for – but this engine’s smooth power delivery, exceptional economy, and consequent handling prowess make it a real gem.

Producing 300PS via an 8-speed automatic transmission, launching from 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, and going on to a top speed of 155mph, you certainly can’t say that this version of F Type is lacking in the performance department. Ok, it may not have the raucous exhaust note of its V6 or V8 counterparts, but it more than makes up for it in the way that it drives.

And that’s not all. The real reason you always went for the Jag rather than a BMW or a Merc was that they promised genuine style, sexiness, and a debonair attitude that made them a joy to own and live with – and why they have garnered such a following.

And they’ve retained that appeal with the new one. Our example’s dazzling Rhodium silver metallic paintwork that covers the carefully sculpted bodywork highlights the vehicle’s curves, lines, and arches such that the F Type looks like it is going fast even when it is standing still.

Coming with 20-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels, a fixed panoramic sunroof, solar attenuating windscreen, privacy glass, r-dynamic styling, and much more, our Jaguar F Type offers the perfect blend of suave design, peerless engineering, and a fabulous chassis to put a smile on your face the moment you thumb the starter button.

Our One Owner Jaguar F Type Coupe R-Dynamic i4 2.0 P300 is offered in excellent condition and has covered 14,800 miles. The vehicle comes complete with a Jaguar main dealer service history and benefits from the remainder of a manufacturer warranty until January 2025.
