Extremely cool

 

Loving the project 7.


I recently got to attend Jaguar Alive Driving event and drove both F types.

First drove the V6S (380hp) around the course and jumped into the V8S(495hp) right after.

The acceleration in the V6S was close to the 510hp XKR's. The car felt very balanced. The steering is extremely sharp in the car - mentally place the car where you want it and the tires will shadow it with perfection. The interior felt cossetting. The exhaust note was very pleasing. Not loud at idle or under easy throttle, but under hard acceleration sounds like an F1 car.

The V8S is just a monster. I am used to fast cars, but from a stop, under full throttle, the first 2 seconds give a blurry vision......what a machine.

I had harder time keeping the car straight around the corners, therefore if i was timed, i would have better lap times in the V6S as the power in it can actually be used.

Overall, an indelible experience. I even got to see the XKRS-GT at the event, the only one in the country at the moment.
