Jaguar F-Type Tested
In cold and challenging conditions at the UK's Snetterton 300 circuit and on the surrounding Norfolk roads, the trio of international racing drivers and television presenters - resident in the UK, Germany and the US - were able to experience the F-TYPE's performance in full.
Their efforts were witnessed by Mike Cross, Chief Engineer Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar, the man who has directed the team, which has worked tirelessly to ensure the F-TYPE, delivers a truly rewarding sports car driving experience.
"It's been a fascinating day," said Mike. "The entire F-TYPE development programme has, from a vehicle development perspective, been focused on delivering a connected sports car driving experience. To witness three respected drivers take to the track and to hear their positive comments validate our work has been great."
The 380PS F-TYPE S covers the 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 275km/h. Corresponding headline figures for the F-TYPE V8 S are 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 300km/h. Both feature all-aluminium construction, Adaptive Dynamics suspension and an Active Exhaust system.
