Used Jaguar F-Type R For Sale

A driver-oriented fury that turns heads with its brilliant appearance, the 2016 Jaguar F-Type R for sale is an exclusive work of art. A 5.0-liter supercharged V8 produces 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque making for an impressive 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3.9 seconds. The eight-speed automatic transmission makes for smooth running at any speed, and it also allows the R to boast a top speed of 186 mph. It’s not just speed and numbers that make this car beautiful, however; the all-wheel-drive system, suspension, and differential that are all adaptive to driving conditions ºcertainly help. The F-Type R is unique to every driver's style, and even includes a dynamic mode—a toggle switch that remaps the car’s software to sharpen the throttle response and stiffen the steering and suspension. Inside, one can find premium leather seats with the “R” emblem, a 770-watt MERIDIAN sound system and an aluminum-weave center console. The new Jag is so refined it even has driver-deployable door handles and rear wing.

Forget the performance statistics, the aluminum-trimmed dashboard, and the impeccably crafted leather seats. Forget the Gyrodyne Alloy wheels and the carbon-ceramic brakes. They just don’t matter when a car sounds unbelievably good and believe me, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe sounds that good. Oh, it has a 550 horsepower 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine? All I care about is that it makes that noise, that rumble that sends tingles through my spine and reverberates through my ears. I mean, what really makes a great car? Its active differential with torque vectoring? Its sport suspension with active dynamics? Sure, those things don’t hurt, but do they matter when you grab a set of keys in the morning? Okay, so they do. But I will never pass up a chance to drive a car that sounds as good as the F-Type R. I will never pass up the opportunity to feel as alive as the engine makes me feel when the 550 horsepower it produces passes through its quad exhaust pipes. -Justin Bell
