I'm not sure who dreamt the idea it would be a porsche beater, maybe media? but technically I feel f-type kind of lacks that ability against porsche but I also don't feel that jag intended to take on porsche because the visual and dynamic characteristic appeal of the f-type, whether its V6S or V8, means it's telling a different story about itself compared to a porsche. its a new car that has learnt to put that smile back on people's faces and that aspect it seems has been missing from cars for a long time.
I've sat in an owner's V6S f-type and in all honesty I wouldn't want more power. the cornering ability and power is just the right balance and you could feel the strong pull around corners and the snap crackle and pop noise is just to die for. the smile is priceless and never thought need more power. a lot of cars we drove pass were winding their windows down to listen to it drive pass.
regards to SVO, i'm not woo'ed by their creations because standard sports tuned cars from germany still seem to leave SVO cars for dust. what jag need to do is go further up market into Bentley territory with the ultimate. even though It's not Jag's key market they did have daimler and sovereign brands in the past and they should bank on those or reintroduce them than do SVO tuned cars.
