Jaguar F - Type R: Wildcat

GQ motoring editor Dieter Losskarn patiently waited for the appropriate ride to accompany him on his first post-lockdown road trip – and with the new Jaguar F-Type R, he unleashed the beast

I CAN’T GET OVER HOW PROFOUNDLY ATTRACTIVE THIS CAR IS. Parked on my shiny, crème-brulée-coloured polyurethane garage floor, I take my time to admire it in all its glory. It’s only the second F-Type facelift since its introduction in 2016, but man, did they do a magnificent job. A new bigger and wider grille and narrower headlights give the car a fiercely slitted gaze. See this in your rearview mirror, and you’ll automatically move to the left to make room.

Then there’s the incredibly beautiful posterior. No, wait, let’s call it what it is: an enchanting ass. You can’t stop admiring it. Jaguar really wanted to make sure that it looks as attractive as possible, as most other drivers will only see the cat from behind when it prowls. It’s a stunning, modern rear complete with four glorious end pipes.
