Quick F type exhaust question...

[Turn7]

I drive something like 35k for work, and as a result, tend to do a fair amount of mental car spotting...

I do like the F type, but Im confused on the exhaust exit vs models.

I convinced myself that the F type R was the only model to have a pair of twin exhausts, and all others used a central pair...

But Im convinced I saw an S version with quad pipes...

Put a Pher ou of his confusion please chaps.....

And for interest...I prefer the quad setup as I think it looks balance, whereas the central pair make the rear of the car look a little "boaty" if that makse sense ?

Unless modified exhaust; if it’s got quad pipes it’s a V8 (R and S)

Central exit with two big rounds tips is a V6 (S and non S)

Big rectangle centre exit is the new 4 banger

What made you think it was an S and not an R?
Badging?

The only external differences are the exhaust (and badge), and bigger brakes on the R but they could also be optioned on the S.

The early V8 convertible was badged S. The coupe was R. Then they badged both the convertible and the coupe as R. I think this was in 2015....?

The V8 S models were c500bhp (both coupe and convertible) - the R was c550bhp and that is now the only V8 you can get apart from the SVR with c575.
