Looking for a used or new car?
Reviewing multiple automobiles a week can be a blur.
Occasionally, though, you see a vehicle with such style and personality that every meeting is an event. I can almost tell you “date” and “place” for every time I’ve fired up a Jaguar F-Type, one of the most beautiful production cars in the world.
The F-Type’s exterior styling may shape your first impression, but it’s the car’s melodious exhaust note that will cause you to fall in love. Under hard throttle, the F-Type emits enough delightful crackles and pops to give you goosebumps. Slam down the accelerator inside one of our Chattanooga-area tunnels and you will feel like you’re strapped to an active firework.
The F-Type comes in convertible and coupe configurations, and our tester this week is a 2018 Yulong White coupe. It’s a special edition 400 Sport version that makes 4oo horsepower and sprints from zero-to-60 mph in under five seconds.
Locally, F-Types are available at Jaguar Chattanooga on Lee Highway. The dealership listed two F-Type coupes and one F-Type 400 Sport convertible in its digital inventory this week.
