Now proudly available at Lane11 Motors, this remarkable machine stands ready for its next admirer.

But before you take the wheel, let's step into the world of the F-Type V8 S and discover why it's more than just a car, it's an experience.

The Birth of the F-Type: Reigniting a Legacy

When Jaguar announced the F-Type project in the early 2010s, it was nothing short of a declaration:
"We are returning to our roots."

Those roots? They run deep through automotive history back to the legendary Jaguar E-Type, a car Enzo Ferrari himself once called "the most beautiful car ever made."
The F-Type was never meant to imitate the E-Type, but rather to inherit its spirit: breathtaking design, soul-stirring performance, and undeniable charisma.

By the time the 2015 F-Type V8 S arrived, Jaguar had perfected the formula and this variant, in particular, became the sweet spot where aggressive power, everyday usability, and refined design met in thrilling harmony.

Design: Aggression with Elegance

There are cars that look good, and then there are cars like the F-Type V8 S that look like they are in motion even when standing still.

Every curve, every surface of the 2015 F-Type was sculpted with aerodynamics and beauty in mind.

  • The long, muscular hood hints at the powerful beast underneath.

  • The short rear overhang emphasizes agility and responsiveness.

  • Slim, predatory headlights frame the bold grille, giving the F-Type a low, wide, and unmistakably aggressive stance.

Move to the rear, and you’re greeted by quad exhaust pipes, a clear signal that this is no ordinary grand tourer.
The taillights, thin and sweeping, are a nod to the E-Type while maintaining a sharp modernity.

Even the details, the flush door handles that pop out when needed, the active rear spoiler that rises at speed, are crafted to delight the senses.

Simply put: the F-Type V8 S looks every bit as exciting as it drives.

Performance: Power That Commands Respect

Under the elegant skin of the 2015 Jaguar F-Type V8 S lies an engine that can only be described as ferocious:

  • 5.0-liter supercharged V8

  • Producing 495 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque

  • Launching from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds

  • Topping out at a thrilling 186 mph (299 km/h)

This isn’t power for bragging rights alone, it's visceral, raw, and delivered with the kind of immediacy that pushes you deep into the seat every time you press the throttle.

The eight-speed Quickshift automatic transmission responds with razor-sharp precision, ensuring that whether you're slicing through canyon roads or cruising city streets, the F-Type feels ready, alive, and eager.

Rear-wheel drive keeps the driving experience pure, rewarding skilled drivers with exhilarating feedback and balance.
Meanwhile, Jaguar’s engineering team tuned the suspension to deliver both sharp cornering and enough compliance for real-world comfort.

And then there’s the sound.
The F-Type V8 S has one of the most addictive exhaust notes ever created a crackling, snarling symphony that turns tunnels into concert halls and leaves goosebumps long after the engine falls silent.

Driving Modes: Tailor-Made Excitement

The 2015 F-Type V8 S offers several drive modes that let you choose your experience:

  • Normal Mode: Balanced for comfort and daily driving

  • Dynamic Mode: Tightens the suspension, sharpens throttle response, speeds up gear changes, and most deliciously, opens the active exhaust valves for maximum auditory joy

With the touch of a button, the F-Type transforms from a relaxed cruiser to an apex-hunting predator.

Interior: A Cockpit Designed for the Driver

Slip inside the F-Type V8 S, and the world outside fades away.
The cabin wraps around you like a tailored suit:

  • The center console is high and snug, placing all controls within easy reach.

  • The start button pulses red, as if breathing, inviting you to awaken the engine.

  • Rich leather upholstery and real metal accents remind you that this is a luxury sports car, not a stripped-down racer.

Jaguar’s philosophy was clear: create an interior that feels special, not just functional, and they delivered.

The seats are deeply bolstered, perfect for spirited driving, yet comfortable enough for long trips.
The infotainment system, while not as high-tech as newer models, offers intuitive access to navigation, Bluetooth, and premium Meridian audio, because every great drive deserves a great soundtrack.

Technology and Features: Sophistication Under the Skin

While performance and style take center stage, the 2015 F-Type V8 S doesn’t skimp on technology:

  • Adaptive Dynamics system monitors driver inputs and road conditions, adjusting damping in real time for optimal balance.

  • Performance Brakes deliver immense stopping power with reassuring pedal feel.

  • Limited-slip differential ensures the power gets to the pavement effectively, especially important with so much torque on tap.

  • Navigation systemBluetooth connectivity, and Meridian sound system round out a thoughtful tech package that enhances the drive without overwhelming it.

Living with the F-Type V8 S: Everyday Excitement

One of the great surprises of the 2015 Jaguar F-Type V8 S is how livable it is.

Sure, it’s a wildcat when you want it to be, but it can also handle grocery runs, commutes, and weekend escapes with surprising comfort and civility.
The trunk space, though modest, is enough for weekend bags or a quick grocery haul.
Visibility is decent for a low-slung sports car.
And around town, the steering remains light and manageable.

You won't mind taking the long way home, in fact, you’ll find yourself inventing reasons to do so.

Why the 2015 F-Type V8 S Still Matters Today

A decade after its launch, the F-Type V8 S holds a special place in the modern car world:

  • It was one of the last purely analog-feeling sports cars before touchscreens, driver aids, and hybrid systems began to dominate.

  • It captures the essence of emotional driving sound, feel, connection in a way that fewer and fewer modern cars can match.

  • It’s already becoming collectible, with enthusiasts recognizing its significance as a "last of its kind" vehicle from Jaguar's roaring combustion era.
