The Jaguar F-Type has always been a car that captures the heart, especially with its incredible sound produced by the thunderous V8 R version. Now, there is a new F-Type that shares its foundations with the previous version but comes with sharp new styling, updated technology, and revised suspension.

Rory Reid, in his video review, focuses on one important aspect - does the new F-Type still sound amazing? He addresses the doubts of some online commentators who thought a social media clip of the exhaust had been faked. Reid assures viewers that the noise has always been the F-Type's biggest party trick.

After clarifying this, Reid proceeds to explore the new features of this heavily updated car. These include a gearbox with settings from the impressive Project 8 track saloon, revised suspension and steering, and an abundance of in-car technology to cater to all infotainment needs.
