The F-Type has already asserted itself as a worthy successor of the iconic E-type in most enthusiasts’ hearts and minds. It’s been loved for its design and character by critics and commoners alike. An unusually striking shape, along with a boisterous attitude and a divine exhaust note has made the F-type possibly the most emotional sports car of our times. We drive the top of the line V8 S version, and come back absolutely enamoured.

Jaguar F-Type Price: Rs 1.75 crore ex-showroom

Looks and appeal
The F-Type doesn’t as much grab attention on the road as it changes the dynamics of the traffic around you. It’s a tricky car to drive on the oomph-deprived, pothole-ridden Indian tar that some very invidous mortals commute upon. The F-Type is laced with seduction at its rear. In isolation, those slim tail-lamps are akin to a pair of splintery slashes in the skin by a honed razor. They ooze unsullied lust. The squat, aggressive theme has been executed in a beguilingly simplistic way. It’s like Coldplay’s music, bewitchingly easy and accessible, yet incredibly complex and masterful. That rump is a sheer visual festivity. And simple and uncluttered as it may look, only the designers at Jaguar would know the exact volume of the midnight oil they burnt before attaining that superlative expression.
