Is An AWD System Enough To Help The Jaguar F-Type R Defeat The Mercedes-AMG GT S?
Now it has an all-wheel drive system to help transfer all of its 542bhp to the tarmac, is the Jaguar F-Type R good enough to defeat the stonking AMG GT S? Motor Trend decided to find out
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Definitely not, it’s too heavy, isn’t as well balanced as the AMG and has too much oversteer…
But it’s still a Jaaaaaaag.
But can you tell a poor victim whose pet you just ran over “im sorry i ran over Mr Wiskers in my… JAGGGGGGG…”
There no such thing as TOO MUCH OVERSTEER!!!
You can’t do wrong with german stuff
Nope. It weighs too much, the handling isn’t as dialled in. It’s still the one I would rather have though.
Autosport tested the AMG GTS on the bench (MAHA LPS3000) and found that the engine power was more like 560HP rather than 510HP
The german cars always have more power than they announce
For example:
No BMW M5 or M6 leaves the factory with less than 600hp even though they announce just 560 hp
The GT is 2fast4u2c
Or you could just take this(if speed is really what you’re after that is)
They’re comparing two specific cars, and still the GTR shows up lol.
I would just like a RWD V8 F-Type, but I live in North America :(
F Type SVR coming but unfortunately it doesn’t come with a dual clutch auto, just a ZF
I would much rather have a V6 F Type than a V8. It’s more controlable if both were RWD, it’s RWD compared to the new F Type R.
1:13 Looks kinda derpish.
