My Jaguar Experience

16 June 2014

Not many of us get the chance to call the latest Jaguar F-TYPE V8, my weekend "getaway" car, but I was lucky enough not only to look at this beauty, but also get behind the wheel and take it for a 2-day drive to the most beautiful sites Cape Town has to offer.

This luxury 2-seater convertible sports car offers a true first class experience on the road and not only looks sleek, stylish and super sexy from the outside, but is also just as detailed and fashionable with that sporty feel on the inside.

I'm sure most of our car lovers would like to know more about this powerful machine's abilities, so here's a break down of what makes the Jaguar F-Type V8 S so incredible:

- The F-TYPE is powered by Jaguar's new 3.0-Liter V6 in 250kW/450Nm increasing to 280kW/460Nm for the F-TYPE S and 364kW/625nM for the F-TYPE V8 S - now that is what I call the ultimate adult toy!

- Headline performance figures for the V8 include a 0-100km/h sprint in 4.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 300km/h. Acceleration between 80 to 120km/h take a mere 2.5 seconds CO2 emissions are 278g/km.

From a personal point of view, this car showed his real power on the open road and as we were driving from the beautiful Franschhoek to Hermanus and back to Constantia in Cape Town. It is super luxurious and definitely my new favourite girlfriend!

The Jaguar F-Type V8 S will be available in showrooms from the 19th of July and for more details regarding this car, contact Lesley Sutton on 012 450 4000 or email lsutton5@jaguarlandrover.com.

Thank you to Jaguar South Africa for having us as part of this amazing experience and to Jill Grogor and her team at Zebra Square PR for organizing this memorable experience!
