2014 Jaguar F-TYPE Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Manufacturers try to stick to a schedule, knowing that if they’re not keeping their brand top-of-mind, consumers will forget about them. This is rarely more true than for luxury car owners, who tend to trade in their toys in 2 years or less. Still, it takes time to build a car, especially a new one, and sometimes a little extra wiggle room is needed on the calendar in order to offer something truly tempting.
Forgiveness and understanding aside, 50 years is a long time between models. Yes, it’s been 50 years since Jaguar introduced a new and true sports car, wallowing as it has in the canals of comfort. Finally, the followup to the E-Type has arrived, and it just might have been worth the wait.
There are many good things to say about this car, but let’s get selfish for a second. For once, the version that comes to American shores will be better than all the others. Sadly, this is due to a bit of coddling on the part of Jaguar, which wanted to make sure Americans weren’t confused by the metric (PS)/mechanical (HP) ratings, figures that almost match at 1 PS equaling .986 HP. In order to avoid that confusion, Jaguar has decided to make the numbers equal around the world, meaning the U.S. F-type is ever so slightly more powerful than all the others—just how we like it.
So what does Jaguar bring to the table that it hasn’t visited in a half-century? A whole lot of aluminum to start. The chassis, the skin, the suspension, the engine—nearly all aluminum. The head of the engine is even recycled aluminum, for a bit of green. Even still, the F-Type tips the scales at around 3,700 pounds, so it’s no lightweight.
Despite its porky profile, it manages to motivate quite nicely, even in base form. The supercharged V6 in the entry-level F-Type will get you to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds thanks to its 340 horses and 332 lb-ft of torque. It manages this feat thanks to some mechanical magic like a Roots-type twin-vortex supercharger pumping 25.4 psi, an air-to-water intercooler and Bosch engine management. Direct injection and dual independent variable cam timing are standard fare here, and they combine with the now-ubiquitous start-stop tech to offer a very respectable 20 mpg city/28 highway rating.
The F-Type S bumps up the boost to 27.6 psi, which tosses another 40 hp and 7 lb-ft of torque onto the pile, while losing only 1 mpg in both city and country cruising. Not bad for a car that’ll do the sprint to 60 in a very conservatively estimated 4.8 seconds.
If that’s not enough to excite, there’s always the V8 option. The 5.0-liter in the F-Type V8 S swaps the Bosch engine management for a Denso system, and the Eaton roots-type twin-helix supercharger boosts 21.75 psi. This adds up to a healthy 495 hp and even healthier 460 lb-ft of torque, which will get you to 60 in an estimated 4.2 seconds, but will also give you a penalty at the pump: 16/23 mpg. Still, even getting into the 20s with a power profile such as this would’ve been impossible a few short years ago, let alone the last time Jaguar played in the sports arena.
Brakes climb in a similar fashion, with the base F-Type biting down on 13.9-inch front and 12.8-inch rear discs, the F-Type S getting 15-inch plates up front and the F-Type V8 S further upgrading the rears to 14.8. They all sit behind 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels that stand at the corners of its 103.2-inch wheelbase. All F-Types come with a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission, but a manual option is planned despite current trends, and in similar fashion the steering is hydraulic-assisted, as opposed to the electric setups that are quickly becoming the standard. And all F-Types also come with a 50:50 weight balance, leveraging every bit of these performance parts.
It’s all convertible at this point, with a power top that can flip and flop in just 12 seconds—as long as you keep it below 30 mph—and folds into its own cover, but the coupe is coming and likely sooner than you think.
It’s hard to say it’s worth the wait, but the F-Type is certainly a worthy reintroduction in the Jaguar lineup. The fact that we’re getting its most powerful iterations is only a bonus. But going up against the likes of the 911 is tough, considering the decades Porsche has had to refine its offering. Still, with the F-Type, at least the engine is in the right place.

Absolutely in of the funnest, most brilliant rides out there.
First off, its gorgeous. From every angle. People actually want to take pics of it.
Inside its comfortable... and gorgeous. Well laid out. MOSTLY high quality materials.
But its all about the engine the drive. The ride. And all of them are 10/10. The sound coming out of the exhaust is an immediate smile maker. It crackles, pops, and sounds amazing. Throttle response is incredible... this car is fun and a blast to drive.
I am thrilled to be an owner!!! And I love the color. Sep 08, 2022

A very fun car to drive. The V8 has lots of power, the options are very classy and it is a head turner. We were also looking at C8, but glad we got this, as a can’t see having any more fun, at a far more respectable price. Amazingly fun car.Jul 08, 2022

I wish I could give this car 5 stars. If it were only a question of how much I enjoy it, how satisfied I am with it, how much joy it brings me to drive it, it would be an easy 5 stars. But its also more effort to own than a normal car (less than equivalent sports cars), and it took me exactly one week to get a deep scratch in the driver side window due to the window seal.
Overall, I love it and wholeheartedly recommend it. But if you can afford it, buy a newer model that worked the little things out.Jun 19, 2021

This car is incredible... 495 HP V8... also love the exhaust switch that makes the baffeling effect of the muffler much louder! SO FUN I laugh every time I hit the gas and it gurgles. Looks amazing and handles like a 911 but with muscle car sounds!Apr 07, 2021

I absolutely love the car.
Performance wise: All I can tell you is this thing rocks! The ability to move in and out of traffic and the responsiveness is like no other car I have ever driven. Although this car is very fast, the brakes can stop you on a dime.
Comfort and Safety: The seats are adjustable to the point that you can raise or lower the lumbar support. Not just in and out, but up and down as well. You can bring the sides of the back of the seat in or release them out so that you have a nice snug fit or a more relaxed fit.
Appearance: It's a beautiful car. I don't believe I have ever taken it out for a spin and not gotten at least one compliment. It will definitely turn some heads.
Like I said in the beginning, I absolutely love it and have thoroughly enjoyed driving it. The only draw back is that it does not have a back seat. Apr 30, 2015

Every once in a while you have an experience that makes you question your fundamentals...I mean seriously consider re-charting your life. Kids, wife, house, 401k...they all seem ready sacrifices at the altar of F-Type. I was lucky enough to score a ride in a black over brown leather V8 S...I was reluctant to drive it at first since the dealership has exactly one on the lot and the car was going to be the centerpiece of the big intro that next week-end. Then I sat in the car, hit the start button and heard the sound of hell and damnation spitting out of the exhaust. A couple of throttle blips had every window in the showroom vibrating like cymbals. OK, Please, let me drive this thing? The car is low, wide, and a touch stubby...it drives that way...but with a torque monster drop-kicking down the road. I was literally giggling two blocks down the road. Now, I've had the good fortune to drive a number of great exotics (thank you World Class Driving), and the Jag had the urge of the Ford GT, the fineness of the Audi R8, and the acoustics of the Alfa 8C. I don't have the quals nor the seat time to rank the F-Type in the pantheon of top performers but I'll say this...it simply is exactly what a sports car is supposed to be. Beautiful, but masculine. Brutal, but civilized. And quite simply, lustworthy in a very special and unique way. Now let me go shop my kidneys.Jul 12, 2013

We looked at the porsche boxster, bmw z4, mercedes slk, then we saw the Jaguar f type and the search was over. Love at first sight. I think we probably over paid but so what, It makes me smile, what more can you ask?Jun 07, 2013
