Jaguar F-Type 2016 - 5.0 V8 R Coupe 2dr Petrol Auto AWD Euro 6 (s/s) (550 ps)

OVERVIEW “The exhaust note alone is enough to make you weep.”— Jeremy Clarkson, on the Jaguar F-Type R Some cars have presence.Some cars have performance.But the rare ones — the truly memorable ones — have character. We remember the first time this 2016 Jaguar F-Type R rolled into the unit. Engine ticking down after a long drive. Bodywork still warm from the sun. The Polaris White paint catching the light like porcelain. Before a word was spoken, we knew — this wasn’t your typical example.
