It looks a little different for 2021: Jaguar has redone the front end to give it a lower, wider, more horizontal look. And why wouldn’t they? There’s a lot in this new F-Type to love, and it all starts with that sensuous bodywork. Its historical mystique is powerful, allowing the brand to draw on decades of racing success, style leadership, technological innovation and a reputation for “glamour.” That’s why people will mob you when you show up anywhere in a Sorrento Yellow Ultra Metallic F-Type R coupe like the one I drove, whether you’re rumbling your way into a gas station, a drive-thru window or your local cars ‘n’ coffee gathering.

For 2021, Jaguar has updated that body and a few other notable features, so we took one for a weeklong spin to see if the F-Type really is a suitable alternative to the comparatively ubiquitous Porsche 911. Might I suggest the 2021 Jaguar F-Type? It ticks all the boxes a 911 does - rear- or all-wheel drive, two doors, two seats, coupe or convertible, powerful engine - and throws in something the 911 has typically left as an afterthought: an absolutely gorgeous body. But what do you buy if you’re looking for a sports car that’s a little different than that, one that’s still rewarding but maybe has a bit more passion to its styling, a bit more rarity to its presence, one you don’t see a dozen of at track days? For decades, the 911 has been the global benchmark for enthusiasts looking for a precision driving experience. Versus the competition: It’s less expensive but no less capable than rivals like the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-AMG GT, and it maintains its own traditional feline styling the new Chevrolet Corvette, however poses a value and performance challenge to the Jaguar - as it does to every other sports car on the market.Īsk any auto enthusiast what the best all-around sports car in the world is, and there’s a good chance you’ll hear the Porsche 911. The verdict: Jaguar’s updated 2021 F-Type R is even better-looking than before, and it delivers a winning mix of luxurious comfort, sports car performance and knockout style.
