I Spent A Weekend Driving The Most Beautiful Car I've Ever Seen - The Jaguar F-Type Coupe
The Jaguar F-Type Coupe is without question the most gorgeous car I've ever driven.
The F-Type needed to be beautiful. Jaguar has spent over two decades trying to remind people of the company's legacy of stylish, high-performance sports cars, like the E-Type from the 1960s, XKSS from the mid-1950s, and the XJ-220 from the late 1980s.
With the F-Type Coupe, the carmaker has at long last erased 20 years of misses and near-misses on the design front. With this car, all is forgiven - you just can't stop looking at it. I certainly couldn't during the weekend I spent with the F-Type Coupe on a visit to Atlanta.
The F-Type has everything you would ever want in a Jaguar - or any sports car for that matter. I've already mentioned how great the car looks. But how about tons of horsepower? Check. Confident handling? Check.
And there's a bonus: the rumble of the F-Type's massive 5.0-liter V8 and the machine-gun backfire of the exhaust that goes with it.
It's an intoxicating combination.
My $100,000 test car - in fact, the top-of-the-range F-Type R - came equipped with just about every available option, including an excellent infotainment system, GPS navigation, and luscious, body-hugging leather sport seats. If a hundred grand is too steep for you, Jaguar will gladly sell you an "entry-level" supercharged V6 version, with 340 horsepower and a $65,000 asking price.
I was able to put the stunning Jag and its rampaging 550-horsepower V8 through its paces on city streets, suburban highways, and even the twisty mountain roads of North Georgia's Piedmont.
