RE: (Not) driven: Jaguar F-Type
Discussion
The back end is horrid! Hopefully its just the colour doing it no favour with thte rear lights blending in. But they have put skinny lights on it and then a span of nothingness till you get to the over the top diffuser exhaust area. Terrible design when from the front it looks so good!

There's a lot of shear effect in the rear end: quite pronounced undercut - it looks better in the metal. Surprised me, how slim and different it is. MonteV said:

The back is just wrong.
I think the back looks great. Better than the front. It's got a hint of the E-type with the design language of the underhung lights - a lineage, similar, but still significantly differnt. Not bad at all, in my opinion.ferdyg said:
"Sounds great until we get to the "8-speed auto". Most of all 911's and half of R8's are Manual's and even the "autos" are clutched versions. They need to get a manual in that thing."
you may be surprised to learn that most new ones sold in are in fact PDK in the case of the Porsche
It has a quick shift gearchange system, changes gear in 150ms, same as a PDK transmission.
Brakes are on the 3.0S 380PS
Front Disc Diameter (mm) 380

Porsche 911 Turbo S Cab is £133,663.00 before options
Which is a "Clutched" box not fully auto. Didn't I make it clear that the Target Cars all have Manual And Clutch Auto's? The Jaguar isn't still it looks like they have realised they need to at least offer themyou may be surprised to learn that most new ones sold in are in fact PDK in the case of the Porsche

The E-Type reference I get, it's the additional slab of bumper under that, that I don't. It looks like the top half is going classical and the bottom half has gone modern/aggressive, with an oversized exhaust housing.
I agree, from the images: they've flattened it a lot. Looks better in real life!I saw a white one of these parked up not too far from me. I stopped and had a good look around it (sadly I had left my phone at home, so didn't take any pics). A lovely looking thing in the flesh and the interior looks excellent for the price.
If they're not in customer's hands yet, I wonder who it was then. I saw a couple getting into it just as I had got back in my car and turned around.
