2015 Jaguar F-TYPE Test Drive Review summaryImage

Jaguar gets hard for its first true sports coupe in 4 decades and pushes all the right buttons.

Jaguar started with the drop-top, and now they’ve dropped the coupe version on us. It seems the F-TYPE just keeps getting better. With only a few small issues to fix, the spiritual successor to the legendary E-Type has done nearly everything right.
9/10

Before the F-TYPE, it had been a good while since Jaguar really excited us. The '90s were very dark times. Things are truly bad when your most notable contribution to the automotive landscape is providing inspiration for Korean car designers. So when the F-TYPE landed, all sexy drop-top lines and actual performance, it shone even brighter against the bland backdrop of the Ford years.

For 2015 the coupe version makes its debut, and despite having to compete with the fresh memory of convertible F-TYPE glory, it manages to make the same impression—it’s everything we’ve been wanting from Jaguar for the last 40 years.

Choose your flavor, but keep in mind this isn’t a mild, medium, or hot situation. This is more like Hot, Fire, or Atomic. Even the “base” F-TYPE offers 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque from a supercharged 3.0-liter V6, and if you move up to the S, those numbers rise to 380 and 339. If that doesn’t satisfy, there’s always a V8 option: 5 liters of supercharged silliness power the F-TYPE R in coupe or convertible form. That means an insane 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque ready to rocket you to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. You can get the S in all-wheel-drive form, but otherwise it’s pure rear-wheel-drive pleasure, and all versions come with the now-legendary ZF 8-speed automatic. Pay attention, though—there’s a 6-speed ZF manual coming our way next year.

Jaguar was nice enough to send me an F-TYPE S coupe (MSRP $77,000) that was fitted with more than $13K in extras. Most noticeable was the Performance Pack S ($3,400), which added all the goodies you’ve been hearing about. Sport seats (with 3-point harness cutouts), a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a black interior trim pack outfitted the interior, while the actual performance came in the form of sport brakes with red calipers and a selectable active exhaust and dynamic driving modes. The Premium Pack 2 ($1,800) was also included here, adding 14-way power seats with memory, dual-zone climate control, and a garage door opener. A nice package, but rather pricey for features that should already be included at an $80,000 price point. The Vision Pack 2 ($2,400) added adaptive, intelligent front lighting, front sensors, a blind-spot monitor, and a rear parking camera, but again this is a lot of extra money for features that really should be included. The Extended Leather Pack adds another $2,700, and I can’t imagine there’s enough room in this 2-door 2-seater to fit nearly 3 grand worth of leather. Gorgeous as the Lunar Grey Metallic paint was, I really can’t stand paying extra for a color option, although in comparison to the other prices, $600 seems a steal, especially when considering that’s the same price as the Climate Pack, which added heated seats and steering wheel. Outfitting the 770-watt Meridian stereo ($1,200) with HD Radio and Sirius satellite added another $450, and the contentious InControl Apps feature was another $400. With a $925 destination & delivery charge, the drive-away price on the F-TYPE Sport Coupe was $91,475.
