This new episode of DRIVE sees Chris Harris take to the road and track to compare Jaguar’s pretty F-Type with established machines from Porsche and Aston Martin.
The F-Type V8 S is propelled by a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 developing 364 kW (488 hp) and 625 Nm of torque, while the 3.8-litre flat-six engine in the 911 Carrera S produces 294 kW (400 hp) and 440 Nm. Finally, Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage Roadster has 313 kW (420 hp) and 470 Nm at its disposal thanks to a 4.7-litre V8 unit.
