Looking at a used "2016" F-type R that was purchased in 9/2015. Topix seems to be of no help. Where does it confirm that the car is AWD? How can I confirm it?

Perhaps overly simplistic but model year 2016 = AWD (regardless of build date). I will now wait as someone who has a video log of every F-type ever built corrects me........

 

Hmmmm. I called the local dealer. That worked. It is AWD. its a shame Topix does not mention the drivetrain :-(

 

Visually, you can tell by looking at the hood. RWD has a narrower bulge in the middle and the vents are located closer together.

 

Yep. You can tell immediately by looking at the hood. The AWD hood vents are spread further apart. There should also be an AWD badge with the'R', but badges can be removed/added, so I wouldn't trust in that.

 

And are further towards the front of the vehicle.

 

thanks, folks! I appreciate the quick responses. I did not search, sorry, so... I'm not sure if this will prove useful in the future archives, or if its been covered. Crazy morning, now, trying to concentrate on shopping, a bit..

 

ok, please verify, forum folks!!

RWD hood?





and

AWD hood?

 

RWD top photo.

 

 

I figured, but it pays to get verification. Thanks!

 

I may be wrong, but also the AWD vents have a body-colored vent surround with a quare-ish black vent portion in the bottom/middle area, where as the RWD vents are the same as on the earlier V8 S models, black and elongated.

 

My carbon fibre vents don't have any body colour ...

 

Should be VIN Position 5 Class

 

Are we still talking about this? unless someone swapped body parts and the drivetrain - its an AWD.

 

always nice to get positive feedback on posts. Won't bother next time.

 

No need to be offended; just making a joke since it seemed abundantly clear, and side note; there was ample positive feedback.

 

I don't follow - or is this only for MY 2015? My 5th letter is an A - I have a RWD V8S. (SAJWA)

 

Full Doc attached published 22-Jun-2017 taken off Topix !

 

My ‘14 V6S is also SAJWA, doesn’t agree with that doc. Must have changed at some point? But yes, the vents are definitive.
