Jaguar F-Type R 700km - this is what happened...

-------------------------------------------------this is the new Jaguar f-type and in

this video I'm gonna give it a serious

reviewing and to do that I'm going to

talk you around the massive design

changes it's insane

show you inside ooh a little bit of

Verity to me drive it on one of the

finest roads in the world oh my god

the way this grips make a noise there's

vibrating so how much you can fit in it

test how quick it is yeah

annoy some local wildlife classic

Portugal random dog and of course poke

it with a stick come ass stuck now

pop-out band right there you can

download the new car Wow up and on that

you can do things like watch our video

reviews compare cars compare offers and

deals on various cars and it's got a

really cool car valuation tool you can

use it just by scanning a cars number

play and it will tell you how much it's

worth so download it it's free seeing as

this is a video of a sports car it makes

sense to see how practical it is so

we've got a 700 kilometer trip we've got

all our gear lock my suitcase my

backpack camera gear and cameraman

Jack's rucksack as well he doesn't think

everything's gonna fit in this boot he's

got 300 litres I think it will if i

crack it cleverly you don't think is

gonna happen dear jack it will watch

this

so take his little bag here and put it

into this area there we are get my big

bag and put it in here like this I'm

winning look it's so fitting Jack got

totally wrong please fit look you're

gonna do this

it's ash right the method well how but

you have to lose the parcel shelf that

will just stay here in Porto it's fine

we're getting the one online come on

please come on yes

now all the sensible stuffs out there

way we can get on with enjoying this car

and obviously being a five-litre

supercharged v8 we're gonna experience

the noise which will be enhanced by the

fact we're in this underground carpark

so let's start it up yeah yes oh sorry

about guys just sit there doing that all

day

that's enough enough let's go well look

at this straightaway I'm getting the

opportunity to test this cars comfort

levels because I'm driving over a

cobbled Road I love a suspension in its

comfort setting and it's actually doing

an alright job it's important for a

grand tourer a sports car like this to

be able to cope with situations such as

bad surfaces it's past this one but I

started I'm going to pull into the

service station because not be able to

set the back is really doing my head in

it's a problem with a sports car like

this just so I can do bear with me this

is real exciting motoring journalism

wonder the way that goes up and down

yeah

right like that

that should work if it shuts giving a

little bit of a help yeah yeah come on

we can do it yeah good let's go again

do you know what I think I want it over

the other side there you go again that

better

what's that noise you're back in this

vibrating electric toothbrush or shaver

obviously that's all it can be there's

nothing else in there probably see I'm

going to find out embarrassing ow

look at this crap have to take with me

when I'm traveling I'm asked shaver you

see it was nothing untoward you

dirty-minded buggers God we'll get to

the car review today province right

let's get going

there are a few things that annoy me

slightly about this car for long

distance work it's the fact this doesn't

have the radar controlled cruise control

so the car in front of me really you

need a system that will let you stay a

safe distance from the car in front this

one won't

I can set it and they will try and

derive for the car log it's gonna try

and drive through him so yeah I probably

shocked him a bit what is the point of

having cruise control in Europe that

doesn't keep your safe distance from the

car in front it's just useless you're

not going to use it this car does have

Lane Keeping Assist say will keep me in

line look oh I'm gonna weave do it come

on is kind of trying

no it's did no it's sort of tries to get

you back into laying mind you I guess is

appropriate this car is a Jaguar and a

bit like a cat you can't fully trust it

to have your back because you think

everything's fine maybe they're stroking

then it's all good

and then they'll Sally turn around and

structure I wish this particular car had

that full cruise control system you get

on most premium cars now which would do

everything for you steer brake

accelerate shouldn't you're long in

traffic obviously you have to get you

hands on the wheel and stuff like that

but it just makes driving long distances

so much easier it's really odd that this

is supposed to be the new f-type and you

cannot get that system on it it actually

shows you that it's just a heavily

reworked version of the old f-type it's

missing key tech and I would like that

key tech let's talk about engines now

bear with me because there's quite a few

numbers here so the race kicks off with

a 2-liter turbo petrol which has 300

horsepower and 400 Newton meters of

torque its rear wheel drive only they

can do nought to 60 in five point four

seconds then there's a three liter

supercharged v6 which we actually don't

get in Europe which is annoying because

it sounds awesome

it has 380 horsepower and 460 Newton

meters of talking get it is rear-wheel

drive or all-wheel drive and it can do

not 60 in 4.8 seconds then there's a

supercharged 5-liter v8 with 450

horsepower and 580 Newton meters of

torque once again you can have this

rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and

it can do not 60 in 4.4 seconds finally

there's this car which is the

range-topping

f-type R it also has a 5 liter

supercharged v8 but this time it's tuned

to 575 horsepower and 700 Newton meters

of torque like all other F types

it comes with an 8-speed automatic

gearbox there you can only have it with

all-wheel-drive jakiro says it's cold in

naught to 60 in 3.5 seconds but I want

to find out for myself so got my

specialist timing gear here and they

launched it

feels quick that's it and we've got

naught to 60 in 3.7 seconds that's close

enough

well god damn quite literally there's a

huge dam here whoa check it out that is

seriously impressive it must have some

serious stopping power speaking of which

so does this car yeah

so this VAR version has upgrading breaks

over the normal f-type 380 millimeter

distant front gripped by two piston

calipers at the back you got 376

millimeter disc quickbuy single piston

calipers but you can upgrade to common

ceramics and you have six Pistons at the

front and four Pistons at the rear and

the discs are slightly bigger as well

all-round yeah despite that you save

some weight 21 kilos in total over the

normal iron breaks an upgrade was

considering if you can be on track a lot

while this f-type has had a major

facelift

underneath the skin the chassis is

pretty much the same as the old versions

however for v8 models there's been a

serious reworking of the suspension so

the suspension arms the knuckles and

pretty much everything that holds the

wheels onto the body is stiffer than in

the previous generation car also they've

given it soft landing roll bar at the

front stiffer at the back

they've recalibrated the electric power

steering and the result is that this car

is supposed to be more responsive yet

also more progressive on the limit and

to find out just where it throws like

I've come to the perfect location

so this road here it's called the n2 2 2

and it's been voted as one of the best

driving roads in the world so if this

car doesn't put a smile on my face here

it's never gonna

Ryan jackieo what have you got a lot of

power

and thankfully all-wheel drive though

its rear drive bias only 30% maximum of

the tall can go to the front wheels and

almost 100% can go to the back what's up

the rear it's gotten an electronically

controlled limited slip differential so

you can send power to the wheel with the

most grip I tell you what they've got

the responsiveness down all right

as for progressiveness well I ain't

gonna [ __ ] back on this road because I

haven't got much room for error there's

easily enough grip for me to haul ass

along here as fast as I dare and anyway

look this is the reality come all the

way to Portugal in this wonderful sports

car and then that happens

and yes I may have almost all the power

in the world but it's still not quite

enough to zip me past this because after

about 50 metres is another sharp turn oh

oh you may be know because of course it

was coming around the corner look no no

not gonna risk that it was fun went

there should be a rule whenever Carla is

everyone else on the road he's got less

than 200 or has to get off it and then

when you do need to overtake you got

plenty of pulling power with this thing

I like the fact that Jaguar has stuck

with a supercharged engine there's a

better relationship between what your

right foots doing on the throttle pedal

and the performance you get from the

engine whereas a turbocharged car it's

almost like an on/off switch the boost

build and you just ride that wave of

torque

whereas this it's more pleading to your

brain

the further you push your fort the more

performance you get there's no coming on

boost all of a sudden it's just

progressive and that's really handy on

roads like this now I finally got the

opportunity to enjoy them and now I'm in

a town so just as I was getting into it

I'm gonna have to back off and crawl

along again another good thing about a

car like this is that it does get a good

response from the low cause look and

I've always drawn here some revs yes you

do do i yeah got the car yes so lay with

me impressing teenagers with someone

else's car go me

I made a success out of my life Oh

classic classic portugal random dog you

always encounter a random dog usually in

the middle of the road that one was at

least at the side of the road but I'm

heading out of town now national speed

limit again so couldn't open this thing

back up

got everything in it's sport is setting

and oh my god

the way this grips its nuts and the

gearshift 8-speed automatic smooth as

you like when you're just cruising but

when you're on it and you're in dynamic

mode

it absolutely smacks you in the back

when you change gear it is acting and

that soundtrack is immense

oh I knew Hanson if it economy

oh no I gotta get

[Music]

but I've been driving for a long time

now and over 400 kilometers finally

reaching our stop over hotel to check

what kind of doing this car fourteen

point three liters per 100 kilometers

which I think works out to about 19

miles per gallon which isn't great what

is better though is the fact that I've

been saying this seat for hours and even

though it's a very sporty seat I don't

feel uncomfortable however it's not

quite as comfy as if I was in a Bentley

Continental GT in fact if you want to

see my in-depth review of the Bentley

Continental GT just click up there to

watch it if you don't want to see that

you know see the rest of this video then

stick with me because tomorrow I've got

some other important things to tell you

about this new Jaguar f-type well it's a

new day and a new outfit and in the

interest of transparency I shall point

out that jag has put me up in this

rather lovely hotel but as a motoring

journalist it's my duty to stay

impartial and so here's five annoying

things about the new f-type sorry jag

you I thanks for the hospitality and all

but I can't do it it's my job if you're

the vane type you are not the fact that

the vanity mirror is absolutely tiny

also there's no light in it so you can't

see how gorgeous you are in the dark

joggers aren't exactly known for having

the best reliability everybody found a

problem in this car look the fabric for

the seat come away wasn't me is that

honestly and this is a brand new car the

rear visibility is all right for a

sports car but when the speed sensitive

rear spoiler deploys

the reversing camera just looks like

it's been plunked on kind of supposed to

look the road this quite says that it's

got is it and just want to squeeze it

also because it's not covered and it

doesn't have like a clever little wash

system like you're gone in this am June

yeah it's gonna ready to get covered in

muck and you're not gonna be I've seen

job it if you're the kind of person who

likes to change gears themselves in

their sports car bad luck this new

f-type is only available with an

automatic gearbox there is no manual not

even on the interval two litre

it's not all negative though here's five

good things about this car and like with

most normal cars this whole section here

oh yeah is made from one single pressing

and that helps improve the strength you

don't have to worry about the

infotainment system not having the

latest software because the car can get

over-the-air updates just like your

mobile phone the button for the glovebox

isn't just a button it also doubles as a

commemorative plaque look it says Jaguar

established 1935 what a little bit of

heritage me the car automatically starts

in quiet mode so you don't wake up your

neighbors with the Baucus exhaust if you

wanting you can override that feature

and start it with a hullabaloo I

absolutely love the way this college

bonnet is hinged at the front just like

on the original a-type now I know this

might make it a bit hard to work on the

engine for technicians but that's their

problem not mine I can just appreciate

the good looks and that breeze are into

this cars design which is quite

important this has to be one of the most

dramatic facelifts in any cars history

almost looks like a completely new car

even though obviously it's not it's got

all new here that whenever I come to

Portugal and try and film outside

there's always a dog barking anyway

let's continue so this is all new lower

wider grille the most significant thing

is the design of the headlamps which are

lower than before and they have like

this J affecting them that's not

entirely new they've always done that

jagger has with its cars but it does met

his cars nose look longer than before

even though the car is the exact same

proportions when I first saw it I didn't

really like it but it has definitely

grown on me it looks very very

aggressive this is obviously the R model

so it has an even more aggressive look

to it with this front splitter got the

f-type logo there as well

it's got presents I like the clamshell

bonnet as well and it sort of reminds me

of the look of the new Toyota Supra when

you have that in yellow one thing this

does have unlike the Supra is real vents

on the bonnet which I am going to have

to illustrate with the tiniest car one

stick of truth' it's not the twig of

truth look I can feed this in through

here and prove that it is indeed

it a real vent the one down the side

isn't there we won't mention that Oh

kind of stuck so this our version has 22

other worlds with this contrasting black

paint on them goes well with the

contrasting black roof obviously can get

a convertible version of this car but

I'm all about the coupe a down the sides

it looks the same as before you still

have the poppy outer door handles there

which work on sense as well round the

back

there's loads of new stuff going on this

whole rear bumper is new being the r

version you get a deep diffuser looks

really really mean also the number

plates around that's a slightly

different shape than before there's a

new tower lights as well and the

lighting effect in those are designed to

look like as you cane your are badging

there do note this is the range topper

and we're going to deploy a proper twig

here we have real exhaust pipes oh yeah

look at that four of them on this

range-topping are and you have our logo

embossed on the pipes themselves I

really like that now what do you think

of this design update directly

successful click on the pop-out banner

up there to vote whether you prefer the

look at this new f-type or the pre

facelifted version alright I'm on the

road again got over 200 kilometers left

to my destination in Lisbon I suppose

it's a good time for me to talk you

through the interior of this car so

there hadn't been many changes inside I

mean the general layer is the same got

the poppy up events you've got the grab

handle for your frien passenger and the

quality is generally pretty nice

wherever your touch I especially like

the aluminium gear shifters are their

proper metal I don't know so much though

is the fact that this

door handle feels like cheap plastic

because it is cheap plastic wine they

made there are mill everything else is

lovely how much we designed the door

card so it seems a bit of a shame they

didn't change that make it nicer one

thing they have changed as the

infotainment system the screeners are

saying ten inches that you had before

however it's an all-new system its

Jaguar Land Rovers latest infotainment

and it's generally alright to use the

system in a Porsche 911 is better fact

if you wanna see my full depth video

review of the new Porsche 911 just click

on the banner up there but you can't

maybe get yourself through the system

pretty easily it's just that some of the

articles have been small to touch when

you're driving it does come with apple

carplay and android auto standard which

is good because I don't think the

jugular sat-nav is all that great you've

also got digital dials now now some

people might say a sports car should

have analog dars but I prefer these and

you can change the layout of them and

work through different menus as well so

it's handy to dispell to control things

right in front of you another thing

that's new in this car are the seats and

I've already mentioned I like them and

I've already mentioned the fact that I

don't like the fact that this particular

one is a little bit broken another thing

that I don't like so much as a storage

so you don't expect much from a sports

car but the door bins really are quite

shallow and if you start getting a

little bit carried away on a twisty road

things gonna fly there may end up

underneath your pedals which is never a

good thing

not much storage under here either and

you've got your connectivity under there

as well which is better so you've got

two USBs a 12 volt socket and there's

even another one down here as well so

you can plug in a dashcam just handy you

just have you up there

finally then after hours and hours of

driving I've almost reached my end

destination and there's any one last

thing for me to tell you about and

that's this cars price so it starts from

fifty four thousand pounds but it's our

version is actually 97 thousand pounds

and if you want a convertible there are

about five thousand pounds more than the

equivalent who pay if you understand

much you can set on this call or any car

for that matter just Google car Wow

to go straight there think of it as your

one-stop call comparison website so then

what's my final verdict on the new

Jaguar f-type to do avoid it should you

consider it Jinnah sure list it or

should you just go right ahead and buy

it well I reckon you should shortlist

the f-type you know the cars technically

been around since 2013 but the updates

do mean that it's still a really good

sports car anyway I'm gonna leave it

there shouldn't really but you guys I'm

gonna go get an ice cream see you later

hello everyone so I'm back in the cold

UK now but there's something I forgot to

tell you about driving that Jaguar you

see on the second day when I was just

cruising the average economy worked out

as ten point four liters per hundred

kilometres which is 27 miles per gallon

so that's just cruising on the motorway

which really for a big powerful

supercharged v8 is pretty good

just thought I'd share that with you
