Found this by accident..

 

What proportion of those do you think were on Pirelli's? 😏

 

@Luc Lapierre
I think all.. ..the way these people drive, they don't ever get beyond the first tire change...
Nothing to do with qualities of the Pzero's though...

 

One important part they edited-out

 

I never heard of this guy, googled him. Supposedly a 'racing driver' . I suspect he's just a - rich - 'kid-of' someone [ lived in Monaco before..].

Has obviously no respect for the machine, doesn't deserve to drive it... ..wrecks the car and then -merily- exports it to recoup the luxury tax I presume,
which amounted to over € 40.000, -.

 

I think rwd F-types in mint condition, might be hard to come by in the future...

 

You would be surprised how many are around. It seems a lot of people buy it and rarely use it. We did 26.000km in 15 months,
some people do a fraction of this in 5 years ! I buy a car to drive, not to put in the garage.. ..wouldn't mind a garage though..

[ Garage filled with stuff, horses and tools, tractor in other building.. ..need a carport badly . Council resists since 7 yrs ].

 

Its really the ediff off compilation, and all those who thought they could control it with it off.

 

And they did all look to be RWD.

 

Most look to be V-6 engine cars as well. Clearly having fewer cylinders increases the odds of a crash.

 

I do not agree as a P300 driver. I think it has to do with the relation IQ vs velocity.

 

Disturbing but I imagine all you'd have to do to make a video like this with any car is to google it and edit the footage.

 

Funny you should say that. The XKR, same car essentially, same power, same engine, but different driver demographic, you wont find large compilation.

 

I do not think the -new- buyer demographic is much different. Just the sales made an enormous jump up. And the car is more twitchy ; power delivery is almost instant.

The XK's were more sedate, exept maybe for the last two production years. But there are few of these about.

Lots of accidents with (grand-) dad's car I guess. Only in the USA, and even there rarely, drivers are under 45 yrs of age.

 

All of the 5 litre XKR's from the 2010 model year onwards are quicker to 60 mph than any of the V6 F Types, including the 400PS one.

The 5 litre XKR also had more bhp than any of the V6 and V8 F Types when they were first launched.

 

My 2010 XKR was definitely more twitchy than my F-Type, surprisingly so since the F-Type has more power. Maybe the AWD makes the difference.

 

I will know in a few weeks. Awaiting delivery of an F-Pace 25t R-Sport awd.. Not the 300hp of my F-type, or the 575hp of the SVR, but awd. So I can tell if the rwd F-Type is more twitchy.

I just found out the importer is offering the SVR V8 for sale. Very tempting since the outside is red... ....but the inside is red too, plus extended leather package..
With all this red inside it looks like a brothel .. .. too much for me. So I stick to my 25t awd for now.

 

There are 2 different reviews that claim the XKR was designed to travel sideways.
The first guy proves it with a blindfold.
Jeremy Clarkson said ' In the corners it will get its tail out more readily than George Michael' a drift machine that you could do power slides in all day long.

That explains why there are almost no crashes with XKR's..

.... owners know they 'll spin out of control if they go faster then walking speed through a corner...

 

How come the Ftype owners dont know that is the question?

I think in most of those crashes they did not have a ediff. It was stock on the XKR.
