Congratulations it will be good to hear your thoughts in comparison to the Mustang once you pick her up . A wonderful engine so I am personally delighted you opted for the V8 R . They come pretty well optioned so keep us posted how you progress with her
Very pleased with it so far, every option seems to have been tickedreddiesel said:

In relation to the Mustang so far the F Type is even better lighter more powerful and with the exhausts open in sport mode it even sounds betterNmann88 said:
Lovely looking thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the R Dynamic rather than the full fat R? I notice the rear diffuser on your car looks like the R Dynamic rather than the 575hp R model? Either way, stunning and I'm sure it sounds lovely
I think you are possibly correct on that point . In the end Jaguar “brand stretched” the F Type to within an inch of its life such was their desperation for sales .Nmann88 said:

Correct. It’s a P450 R-Dynamic, not an R. It wasn’t just the F-Type that got this confusing badging. I believe the rest of the range also got it in the same way BMW cheapened their M branding with M-Sport on the non M-cars. reddiesel said:
I’m an ex Cerbera owner as well as a couple of F Types and in my opinion the comparison is a good one . Fortunately Jaguar has a reliability and durability that TVR could only dream about but audibly very similar
I think so too, future classic maybe as they are stopping making them soonNmann88 said:

P450 R dynamic, 30hp more than the Mustang a lot lighter and superchargedfatboy b said:
