GMballistic Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Wow, sounded & looked awesome. Can't be a Jag though as the driver didn't have a flat cap on or a pipe. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I just made a trouser mess. Jag have really stepped up of late, hope it pays off for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 . . I still think the Roadster looks nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Very nice, but I'm with Doogy with the look of the Roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Great car, still miles too expensive. V6S coupe now the one to buy, I sensible specced one to a fraction over £60K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Jag are making some seriously nice cars these days. I take it that's the 5l supercharged v8? Imagine that in roadster form with some decats and a remap. Would be one if the best convertibles around on par with a DBS volante imo wonderful looking things! Keep it up for Britain jaguar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 One of the reasons I sold my DB9 was the imminent arrival of this car at £60,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Anyone else not think the V8 with valves open is just a bit too much? I've been up close & personal with one of these on full chat and it's just utterly, utterly ridiculous - like an artillery company is firing a salvo from the rear of your car. It's too loud, not nice and to my ears actually sounds rather "synthetic". Are they using sound generating jiggery-pokery back there? Maserati V8 for noise, please 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It had me after the first 2 seconds and then just got better, boy that sounds awesome. I'd go for the roadster though. Must do more overtime......or won't the lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati V8 for noise, please I think thats why the V6 S is the model of choice 95% of the performance, better balance and not so OTT... Who wouldn't love that V8 for a weekend car though Sent from the golf club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati V8 for noise, please Completely agree, even down to the Maser comment. As a bit of noise to advertise with, it clearly does the job. However, imagine popping to the shops in that, and it making all that racket: It's going to get embarrassing and irritating after a while. We all like a good bit of sound, but that's just daft. Aston has got the balance right in the V8V, Jag just going for OTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston has got the balance right in the V8V, Jag just going for OTT. I believe it has an adjustable exhaust valve, could be wrong but I'm sure I read that somewhere.... and to be honest if I had best part of £100k to buy a V8 F-Type R then I would be popping to the shops in my RRS so that I had ample space for all the shopping I do agree though, call me old but I find it hugely embarrassing at Zed meets when people have stupid loud exhausts, I prefer a nice tone and something that woukd make someone look and smile than something that makes people jump and swear and think 'what a ****' Sent from the golf club...

paulashy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 what a sound, by far the best looking car i have seen in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesding Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I don't see a problem with the sound, if you're going to the shops (or want to be inconspicous) just keeps the revs below 2,500! Or if you want to scare grannies, punch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
