The long-awaited successor to the Jaguar E-Type has finally arrived. Steve Sutcliffe is behind the wheel of the Jaguar F-Type V8 S, the range-topping model which can launch from rest to 62mph in 4.2 seconds and go on to a limited 189mph. Its sonorous 489bhp motor gets a helping hand from the lightweight aluminium construction of the F-Type’s body, while the driver sits lower than in any previous Jaguar. This could finally be a match for the legendary Porsche 911.
