It's a great time to be a car enthusiast. High-horsepower
offerings are everywhere, and available at a multitude of price points. There
are, of course, the ultra-exotic machines with dizzying power figures to match
their equally atmospheric price tags. At the other end of the spectrum sits a
number of relatively affordable 300-400 horsepower cars, and that number can
climb all the way up to 700 if you're feeling Hellcatty. We're feeling catty...
but for a different bred of feline: the 2015
Jaguar F-Type R in coupe format (an
F-Type R Convertible has been added for the 2016 model year).
Under the hood is the most powerful production engine fitted
to a Jaguar car. It's a 550-horsepower supercharged V-8 unit that sends
straight fury out of its rear end. We're talking about ferocious noise,
tremendous acceleration, and the potential for absolute tire destruction. This
is a beautiful car that also happens to be a trained tarmac assassin.
Yes, it's not cheap with a nearly $100,000 starting price.
For what you're getting though, it's a downright bargain. Option the car out
fully, and you'd still be on the better side of $120,000. You don't need to
do that though, because the optional $12,000 carbon ceramic brakes are really
only necessary if you're hitting the track every weekend.
