L'ho vista ieri. Modello V6 base, blu con interni chiari. Il culo e' stupendo e l' auto ha una impronta a terra notevole, pero' altrettanto notevole e' la stazza! Vero che stessa impressione mi aveva fatto la spider. Una Vantage S parcheggiata vicino sembrava molto piu' compatta, meno muscoli da culturista e piu' elegante. Devo studiarmela meglio e poi ovviamente va provata, pero' per ora Vantage vince ancora lo scettro della piu' bella.

Dal vivo non l'ho ancora vista. Dalle foto ho avuto la stessa impressione.

Un mio amico ha una Aston Martin Vantage V8, blu scura. E' elegantissima, compatta e levigata.

Jaguar F-type R coupé UK first drive review

A drive on UK roads confirms what we already knew about Jaguar's top-end F-type coupé, namely that it's one of the best sports cars around

What is it?

The Jaguar F-type R coupé – on home soil. Previous to this, we’ve only had the chance to sample the range-topping new model abroad, and mostly on track; now it must live up to the promise of those previews on somewhat less glamorous surfacing.

It’s fair to say the omens are good. Alongside glowing praise from Messrs Sutcliffe and Cropley, the R has had Jaguar’s chest puffed out for months. In case you missed the fanfare, the manufacturer has repeatedly described it as its most performance-focused production car ever.

Big words, backed, it must be said, by some fairly big numbers. The coupé inherits Jaguar’s all-aluminium 5.0-litre supercharged V8 in its XFR-S spec – meaning a car some 300kg or so lighter than the aforementioned saloon yet with the same 542bhp and 502lb ft. Or, put another way, more than you’d get from an Audi R8 V10.

Significantly more than you’d get in the open-top F-type V8, too. Yet – as we’ve repeatedly been told – that’s okay because the aluminium roof has made it a very different prospect. The most torsionally rigid production Jaguar ever built, in fact. And one with the second generation of the firm's E-diff and, for the first time for a Jaguar, torque vectoring.

What is it like?

Heavenly. Bonkers as well, of course – when you want it to be. But also comfortable, usable and never less than memorable. Which is a special and particularly thrilling mix for a road car and one we haven’t seen Jaguar properly resolve since the original XFR.

First, because it’s what you’ll notice immediately, the bonkers bit. The R is fast. Frantically, spankingly fast. The data box will tell you it’s half a second tardier to the national speed limit than a 911 Turbo, but it doesn’t feel it. What if feels, courtesy of the V8’s relentlessness, is just this side of anti-social. Click the adaptive exhaust button, however, and it’ll merrily cross that line, too.

Crucially, however – and here the stiffness starts to show – there is no incongruity lurking in the huge performance. Where the roadster’s chassis could seem overawed by the supercharger’s drawl, the R squats and grips and goes with a newfound oneness. The pyrotechnics and associated noise of a floored throttle can be appreciated from the get-go – and that’s important both to driver confidence and a wider appreciation of the better balance both Steves have already alluded to.

That same poise, magnified by a Surrey B-road, is what makes the pace doubly compelling. The overall dynamic picture is recognisable as the same understeer-immune, pliably agile and rear-end-adjustable package already successfully established as ‘F-type’ in nature, but its limits, precision and manageability have all been moved up a notch. What seemed precarious in the roadster is now brilliantly practicable.

Second – and possibly better still – is the ease and convenience with which it can all be packed away. In the R there is clearer definition now between the button-activated Dynamic mode and its mild-mannered counterpart; selecting the latter frees the dampers to take greater advantage of their more rigid setting and lets the chassis properly breathe. The jostle of 20-inch wheels isn’t completely eradicated, but with the superb eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox back in D, the car manages a supercruise as well as any of its rivals.

Should I buy one?

Certainly. The V8-engined roadster was only previously recommended with a host of provisos, but the coupé deletes almost all of them. Added to which, the better-reconciled R finally makes a top-spec F-type look like decent value for money. Starting at £85k puts it firmly in 911 Carrera Sterritory, and, measured side by side, the reasoning suddenly isn’t hard to fathom.

Not only are you buying a car endowed with considerably more power, but you’re also getting one capable of competing head on with the Porsche’s high-grade comfort, class and handling entertainment. Furthermore, it probably won’t have escaped anyone’s notice that the F-type coupé is quite extraordinarily pretty. It hardly needed that kicker, but here it is. Advantage Jaguar.

Confermo le impressioni che mi aveva dato in foto. Questa notte ho potuto vederne due, una Coupé e una Spider , a seguito della Mille Miglia.

Dato che ero a Marostica dove, nella Piazza degli Scacchi, c'era uno stop per timbro anche le auto al seguito rallentavano e spesso si fermavano ho avuto modo di vederle abbastanza bene.

Sarà che erano chiare ma soprattutto la Coupé mi è sembrata un po' esagerata, molto larga al posteriore.

Spero di rivederle in un colore scuro per vedere se l'effetto cambia. Per ora l'Aston Martin V8, quanto ad eleganza, vince.
