Both the coupe and the convertible are available in base, S and R trims. ![]() Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2016 Jaguar F-Type is a two-seat sports car available as a fabric-top roadster or a hardtop coupe. I found it a very satisfying amount of power for everyday driving, and perfectly suitable to the manual transmission. For the F-Type S Coupe, that means a blower powered by the 3-liter V-6 engine, forcing air into the cylinders for 380 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. Jaguar is a bit unique among today’s automakers in that it uses superchargers on its engines. The manual transmission seems a good match for that legacy-inspired design. Jaguar designer Ian Callum has said he delved into his personal history with the Jaguar cars of his youth when coming up with the F-type, and I think it’s an instant classic. Suspension tuning is firm, and the F-type is always eager to play, but the cost is an often harsh ride over bumpy roads. ![]() Racier S models get a boost to 380 hp and offer all-wheel drive with the automatic. Offered as both a coupe and a convertible, it gets a snarling 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 pumping out 340 hp to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. From its seductively long hood to its steeply raked windshield and wide rear haunches, the F-type is a stunner. ![]()
