Well, ugly is timeless.

 

I want to see the quiet start mode in action immediately

Thanks for the link, very interesting :
The four-cylinder F-type, dubbed P300, doesn't need a Quiet Start mode. For that model, Jag pumps in extra sound through the stereo speakers. At least it's honest fakery. Unlike sound-augmentation systems that remix the engine note, Jaguar engineers recorded the 296-hp 2.0-liter inline-four's soundtrack and amplified it; that's what you're hearing through the speakers. In the music industry, this is what's known as a backing track.

 

why why WHY did they have to depart from the original headlights. They are so much sharper and unique

 

Agree with this 1000% pretty soon they'll be nothing but soulless electric cars everywhere.

 

The drag strip will be silent, but man it's fun to watch people try to link up fast enough to get off the line vs a Tesla. lol

 

It's great to have competition to push all cars' performance. I noticed Drag Times YT channel did a 1320 test with a Taycon "Turbo" S that dropped from 100% to 88% after three runs. So I wouldn't call it realistic performance, at least not yet, but it is fun for sure.

That said, it seems a little insane to include an Eco button in a 575 HP V8. What are these engineers thinking? As an engineer, the goal is to analyze, design, build, test, verify, validate, deploy, and sustain, always back to meet requirements. Not back to requirements plus some other random stuff. One would assume that the 575 HP F-Type's internal requirements never included ultra mpg and quiet operation.

 

looks are always going to be subjective, what i take from sutcliffe's review is purely one of technical non-subjective improvements, mainly in the steering

for me the front end is an improvement principally because it brings the design in line with current trends,

these yellow press cars do not do the new front end any justice

in the right colour it looks spot on - i even think the non-R front bumper looks better, and would possibly retro the side inserts

 

I read a review that said sound is changed to reflect new US rules but rest of world V8's will still be loud, but with a switch for quieter starts. Is this possible?

 

It really looks like a camaro.

I miss my tie-fighter lights, but I couldn't be more thankful for my 2016 to lemon out under warranty prior to losing my manual transmission and all these fascia and design changes in 2021.

2019 (wildly biased) is the last "f-type" we love, but I would guess it's really as soon as they phased the RWD 8cyl in 2015? Maybe 2016??

 

I think it's an allowable "cheat" to have that eco button for passing the ever more restrictive (which is totally fine with me) emissions standards. The notion is "it's always on" helps during testing?? I think it's more of a way to be up to date with current standards, while having the option not to have it?
