I’m trading my 2015 S for a new R for a few reasons but mostly power and mainly torque. The argument we’ve all heard is “ where you going to use that power on the street” may have some validity in a densely populated city but for me I have my fun out on 2 lane country roads with little or no one around to harm. I have little interest in going 200kms but rather enjoy the push of hp and torque coming out of a 30km corner up to a reasonably safe 140km if only for a brief moment.

The F type now comes in many hp configurations- buy what you want and keep smiling even when you let off the throttle!

Personally, if I had my druthers, I’d rather have a fully loaded V6 over a V8 scantily optioned. I would miss the little bits and bobs. I just love my blind spot monitors, auto high beams, and extended leather.

Another thing to be considered is items optioned on the V6 are standard on the V8.

And you get a whole engine, not just the first three-quarters ...
