Expect plenty more on the Firesand
Jaguar F-Type V6 S
over the coming months on PH. Not only because it's a long-term test car, but also because there are so many potential rivals for it. What's it really like compared to a V8, for example? How about as an M4 or C63 alternative? Plus one or two
other possibilities
Those are to follow though. For now we have this video, Dan's introduction to the car and his initial impressions. Usefully he can explain to you in every last detail, on camera, just how he made a £60K car into one costing £71,880. And there's still one bit he wants to change.
Of course the main benefit of video however is to get the drive across. And as you will see (and hear), there's plenty to like! This 380hp V6 S is the most powerful F-Type you can buy with a manual gearbox and, as Dan will discuss in more detail, a pleasingly traditional package. Even down to details like the limited-slip diff, which is mechanical in the V6 S rather than electronically controlled as in the V8 R. The noise is pretty special too...
We should really leave this discussion to Dan though. Your comments and thoughts on the car and the video are, as always, more than welcome. Take it away Mr Trent!
