很可惜,2024年的F-Type油動車將是積架轉型至全電動車 之前的最後一個車款。 這外型流暢雅緻的雙門跑車在正常駕駛時是一輛溫順的豪華 汽車,但在每分鐘轉速達3,500以上時,其主動排氣系統從隱約 的隆隆聲轉為刺耳的、吸引人的咆哮,聲浪棒極了。當降檔時, 排氣喉會發出威猛的劈啪聲和爆裂聲,比LC500和SL 63所產生 的聲響更大。全輪驅動是這款車的標配,不論在哪個轉速範圍, 引擎都很強勁,雖然它在蜿蜒的道路上行駛得很好,但它更適合 用作漫遊和長途駕駛。 我試駕車輛的儀錶板和座椅都是採用美麗的焦糖色。儀錶 板和中央觸控屏幕的操控都很直白,容易使用,但當你開篷駕駛 時,陽光可能會減低中央屏幕和空調控制顯示器的能見度。 中央通風口藏在屏幕上方,當你開啟空調控制時,它會從 精巧的裝置內轉動出來。車尾箱很深,容量比LC500開篷車的要 大。 如果想要一輛罕有的機械增壓V8引擎汽車,並主要用作周 末漫遊駕駛,便應選購這款積架。它非常舒適,也是有史以來其 中一個聲浪最好聽的原廠製造V8排氣系統。 Sadly, 2024 is the last model year of the gas-powered F-Type before the Jaguar brand transitions to all-electric. This sleek two-door cat is a docile luxury cruiser when driven normally, but sounds mean at 3,500 rpm and up when its active exhaust system transitions from a subtle rumble to a shrill, head-turning roar. The exhaust crackles and pops authoritatively when you downshift, and is louder than those produced by the LC500 and SL 63. The engine feels strong at all rev ranges, and while it handles well around winding roads, it is a vehicle better suited for cruising and long drives. It comes standard with all-wheel drive. Our test vehicle featured a beautiful shade of caramel on the dashboard and seating surfaces. Both the instrument cluster and centre touchscreen controls were intuitive and easy to use, but when you drive with the top down, sunlight can wash out the visibility of the centre screen and climate control displays. One nifty interior feature is a power centre vent cluster that moves up electronically when you turn on the climate control. The cargo compartment is deep and can hold more than the LC500 Convertible’s trunk. Get this Jag if you want a more exclusive weekend cruiser with rare supercharged V8 power, excellent comfort and one of the best-sounding factory V8 exhausts ever produced. 末代的機械增壓動力 SupERCHARGEd pOwER And THE LAST OF ITS kInd JAGuAR F-TYpE R75 Awd Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4MATIC+ Lexus LC500 Convertible Jaguar F-Type R75 AWD Convertible Canadian Price $226,500 (as tested) From $129,186 $145,337 (as tested) Engine 4.0L twin-turbo V8 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 5.0L supercharged V8 Transmission (all automatic) 9-speed 10-speed 8-speed Horsepower (hp) 577 @ 5,500 to 6,500 rpm 471 @ 7,100 rpm 575 @ 6,500 rpm Torque (lb.-ft.) 590 @ 2,500 to 5,000 rpm 398 @ 4,800 rpm 516 @ 3,500 to 5,000 rpm Fuel consumption (L/100 km) (City, highway, combined) 18.2, 11.8, 15.3 16.0, 9.5, 13.0 15.2, 9.8, 12.7 0 to 100 km/h acceleration (seconds) 3.6 4.4 3.7 European model shown E L I T E G E N • S p r I N G • 2 0 2 4 91
