V6 sounds so much more interesting and sporty, definitely suits the car better IMO.

 

No one with a V8 engine is going to say, the V6 engine sounds better, and no one with a V6 engine is going to say, the V8 sounds better. Personal choices.

 

V8 performance with V6 sound track would be tempting.

 

I have V8 and honestly i like the V6 sound better.
For me (everybody may have their own) the V6 sound an high presission tuned engine, when V8 sounds raw chaos by cubic inches.
I think Jaguar did made the exhausts for different models like this in purpose.
Btw: Accelerating with "light foot" the V8 gives totally different sounds. Played a bit on wet skidpad on local test track where heavy foot is way out immediatly and find different sounds

 

lol agreed! I have driven both, my personal impressions:

V6 - sounds more sporting with exotic overtones. closer in spirit to a Porsche or Lotus like sound if you compare your F-Type to those cars, best when wide open at high revs.

V8 - much more brutal, dirty, raw sound, to me the V6 probably edges it out in exotic tone in the very upper RPMs, but I like the part throttle sound/rumble of the V8 better at part throttle when driving around town.

Both are amazing sounds, very different, and each person will have their own preference

 

Nothing is better than V8 sound, sorry

Personally, I like the V6 sound better. It's actually reminiscent of the straight six sound. Where the V8 is, well, a V8 muscle sound. But both sound good.
Thanks for posting.

 

Another oldie but a goodie on this topic:

 

This is a topic that seems to come up a lot. 2 things can be true at the same time as they say…To me these are sounds that are just hard to compare, and they both have positive elements to speak of.

I do love the sound of those v6 f-types though. Not sure I’d give up my supercharged v8 for one, but they are pretty epic in their own right sound-wise. Really awesome.

There is no answer here…lol

 

Had both, prefer the V8 but it's very monotone, just get louder as the revs rise. V6 has a wider array of sounds depending on the revs and load, it can sound deep, fruity, but also raspy which I didn't care for much, cheapened the car a little. Both sound great & should be celebrated.
