Default F Type R Coupe Price Includes:

I was looking at the Jaguar website and noticed that the F Type R Coupe comes standard with the Performance Pack, the Premium Pack, and the 770 Radio, at the base price of $99,000.

When I price out a F Type 8S Vert with those options it comes out to $97500. So if I add the Vision Package to both cars I get $99,600 for F Type 8S and $101,100 for the F Type Coupe R. Pretty close for cars with the same options, right?

Yes, but the coupe is supposed to be $4000 cheaper than the vert. It is in the F Type and the F Type S at the base price but what Jaguar is doing is adding all the options into the base price of the R Coupe and not deducting the $4000.

For the missed $4000 savings with the F Type Coupe R you get 550 HP, the Torque Vector braking system, and a slightly different suspension.

It seems like a pretty good deal considering to get the extra 50 HP, upgraded suspension, and some carbon fiber on the XKR it costs an extra $32,000.

If you like a coupe it's a hellava car.

Excellent observation. The XKR-S was way over priced for basically a body kit and tune. The XKR-S performance suspension was also offered as the dynamic pack on the XKR for around $7,000 and the XKR-S exhaust offered as the performance option on the XKR for $1,400.

I'm seriously looking at buying the new F-type R to replace my current XKR Coupe 2010 (which I love).
- Do you know when we can start to place the order ?

I understood that the car should be available sometime in March 2014, but would assume that orders can be placed before - right ?

I'm told Jaguar will start taking orders in January with a May delivery.

Thanks - That makes sense. I will plan to contact my dealer shortly...
I know I will lose a lot on my 2010 XKR Coupe...

I wish I was in the market for an XKR Coupe because it looks like there will be quite a few of them for sale in May, including mine.
