Motor Envy: The Jaguar F-Type is a work of art that combines power and grace

The F-Type drives like a dream.

What’s this then?

This is the seriously slinky and sexy Jaguar F-Type 2.0 and it can be yours for €80,595.

What’s so special about it?

The Jaguar F-Type is a stunning looking car and it drives like a dream too. It has a cracking new four-cylinder engine under its long bonnet and it comes with a very tempting price tag too, for such a desirable motor.

Any standout design features?

The whole car is a work of art. It’s head-turning design combines both power and grace with some bold proportions.

It has a seductively long bonnet, a slinky sloping roofline and muscular, upswept rear haunches. It is a classic shape but one that looks thoroughly modern especially in this R-Dynamic specification.

This particular model stands out thanks to its 19-inch alloys, body-coloured bumpers and mirrors, R-Design body kit and large switchable active exhaust.

And what powers this Jaguar F-Type?

This Big Cat is powered by a new four-cylinder 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 300hp at 5,500rpm and 400Nm of torque at 1,500-4,500rpm. It is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission that is slick and quick. It takes just 5.7 seconds to go from zero to 100km/h and the car goes onto a top speed of 249km/h.

To compensate for the loss of two cylinders, Jaguar has tuned the engine’s intake and exhaust noise in an attempt to get it as close as possible to the six-pot’s soundtrack. It’s an approach that works, because the F-Type certainly sounds melodious.

DoneDeal DoneDeal

Does the Jaguar F-Type have any luxurious touches?

Oh course it does, it’s a Jag, darling! Luxurious features of this particular example include a fixed panoramic glass roof, a leather and suedecloth interior, heated sports seats, and a stereo camera which controls the autonomous emergency braking system. There’s also R-Dynamic embossed tread plates and the centre console is finished in Delta Aluminium.

But who would drive this car?

Those in the know who are looking for a stunning sports car at an attractive price. The Jaguar F-Type is a car for driving enthusiasts who like the finer things in life.

    Imagine how much we could increase the wages of nurses, teachers and gardaí if we didn’t piss away $9billion on housing economic migrants and NGOs.

    @Tom Barry: they prefer looking after economic migrants more than there own citizens nowadays it is actually disgraceful tbh even more so on people who keep voting these in we really need a government that looks after our own PROBLEMS first and foremost before they start looking after everybody else simple

    @Happy As Larry: It’s an awful pity a lot of ‘our own’ can’t look after themselves…..full employment and there are still huge numbers that couldn’t be bothered working and want to be looked after from the cradle to the grave….also never mind the live register of unemployment,the won’t work/will never work are not on those numbers.

    @SYaxJ2Ts: Hi Kev, is it really the states duty to deal with any issues except it’s own? Charity should be up to the public, spending there own money as they chose and if that’s to help others less well off in other countries, fair play. Charity should not be something that is mandated by the state at the tax payers expense.

    Sounds like the Government is dragging its feet in the hope that inflation falls further soon.

    Having negotiated salary increases over the last two years that were way behind inflation the unions are once again playing a blinder in helping the govt reduce people’s wages in real terms. Would be really interesting to see if these union negotiators end up being rewarded in the future with payments from govt in the form of board positions on various quangos. The old imno head retired on a pension way above what nurses get and was also rewarded with payed seat on a lucrative quango for those on it. This for ensuring nurses pay kept well below what it should be, Sile is carrying on where he left off

    It is depressing to see people who post blaming immigrants for all our ills. Dragging out wage negotiations for public service workers was going on for years, long before we had the large number of immigrants.

    Any pay increases should be tied to serious reform of working practices/contracts and especially accountability. The quality of our public services vs the money we pump into it is dismal.
