First drive: 2016 Jaguar F-Type AWD in New York USA - DriveArabia.com News & Views (blog)
The Jaguar F-Type has become a sort of figurehead for the once-fading British luxury carmaker, leading the charge as the brand redefines itself as a more aggressively-sporty alternative to typical premium choices. The 2-door sports car debuted less than two years ago, but more variants have been added to the line-up this year, namely an all-wheel-drive variant and a manual gearbox. The compact F-Type isn’t exactly the most advanced sports car around, based on a chopped version of the decade-old XK coupe that preceded it. However, it’s still an immensely-capable sports car, more so than the XK with which we’re intimately... We’ve already talked about the earlier rear-wheel-drive V6 and V8 models so we won’t get into too much detail here about the driving bit. The all-wheel-drive system runs a rear-biased profile most of the time, so the ability to send power to the front wheels does not come into play in dry-weather conditions. About the only think we can say for certain was that the all-wheel-drive one did not act as tail-happy as the rear-wheel-drive model we drove last year. Source: www.drivearabia.com
