Introduction
Jaguar has recently unveiled its new F-TYPE R-Dynamic Black. This new model enhances the purity and presence that distinguish this premium sports car from others. Built on the R-Dynamic coupe and convertible variants, it offers two powerful engine options: a 300-horsepower four-cylinder and a 450-horsepower V8, providing exclusive features and a more luxurious, refined interior.
Exterior Design
The sculpted shape of the F-TYPE is accentuated by a black design package and 20-inch five-spoke wheels with a glossy black finish. These wheels, known as "Style 5039," are exclusive to this model and perfectly complement the three available metallic paint colors:
- Santorini Black
- Eiger Grey
- Firenze Red
Interior Cabin
The cabin surrounds its driver-focused seats with rich, luxurious materials. The "Performance" seats feature 12 adjustable positions and are upholstered in Windsor leather available in either "Ebony" with "Oyster" stitching or a sportier "Mars" color with "Flame" red stitching.
Among the new details enhancing the exclusivity of the F-TYPE is a logo embroidered repeatedly on the door trim.
Additional Design Details
The interior has evolved to express the elegance and performance of the vehicle more clearly. It emphasizes traditional British craftsmanship with simplified, beautiful details, enhancing the sense of luxury and sporty character.
Engine Performance
The powerful, responsive engines of the F-TYPE R-Dynamic Black are equipped with eight-speed "Quickshift" transmissions, allowing full manual control via the "SportShift" gear lever or paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.
Engine Types
-
Four-Cylinder Engine:
This 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 300 horsepower and is rear-wheel drive, generating maximum torque at just 1,500 RPM, resulting in remarkable throttle responses through various acceleration stages. It delivers the expected performance for F-TYPE models, achieving 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph.

V8 Engine:
This supercharged 5.0-liter engine produces 450 horsepower, offering powerful, effortless, and enjoyable performance, achieving maximum torque of 580 Nm at just 2,500 RPM. It comes with an all-wheel drive option featuring Intelligent Driveline Dynamics or a rear-wheel drive option preferred by sports car enthusiasts. Both drivetrains are equipped with an active electronic rear differential to enhance traction, achieving 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 177 mph.
Technical Features
The F-TYPE R models and the 450-horsepower engines come standard with Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system and Configurable Dynamics as key features.
Utilizing continuously variable electronic dampers, Adaptive Dynamics enhances both comfort at low speeds and control at high speeds, while Configurable Dynamics allows the driver to adjust the suspension stiffness, steering weight, throttle response, and transmission settings.
Conclusion
While both the 300 and 450-horsepower engines are available for other F-TYPE models, the optimal choice for exceptional performance in various weather conditions and on any type of road is the F-TYPE R, which is exclusively available with all-wheel drive and features a supercharged V8 engine producing 575 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, allowing an impressive acceleration of 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph.
