How is the only UK offering in the sub-£100,000 senior sports car class faring in 2022? Jaguar F-Type P450 Convertible first drive review
Let this sink in: when the F-Type arrived in 2013, Porsche had only just retired the 997-generation 911. Jag facelifted its aluminium sports car six years later, but the reality is that the F-Type is now knocking on the door of its 10th birthday while its main rival has been through three rounds of significant refreshment during the same period, with another due next year. Yet the F-Type clings to life in near-original form, with no successor planned.
This drive of the P450 Convertible is more housekeeping than breaking news. Having sampled the facelifted coupé in four-pot and V8 form in 2020, we never had the chance to try the rag-top. It’s also a good opportunity to see how the only UK offering in the sub-£100,000 senior sports car class is faring in 2022.Jaguar F-Type road test reviewThe P450 uses the same 5.
Tiptoe around and it’s also a demure unit, although a wider throttle and more revs unleash the kind of animalistic, gargling blare even the AMG 4.0-litre V8 in Aston Martin’s Vantage can’t match for personality. Drop the roof for added effect. In dynamic terms, the Jag continues to possess a lovely, light-touch elasticity to its steering and this helps you tap into and enjoy the chassis balance. Roadholding isn’t as good as you’d want it to be in the wet, mind, and on more challenging roads, there’s a slightly discomforting heft to the Jag’s pronounced body movements that you wouldn’t find in any 911 or Vantage. Progress feels just a little rudimentary at times.
However, this hurts the appeal of the coupé version more. The convertible wants to be treated more like a loping GT, and it works well in that role.
