The Jaguar F-TYPE V8 S swaps out the luxury roadster’s standard V6 for a beefy, 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that boosts output to 495 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Our British Racing Green tester also came fitted with intelligent front lighting, a blind spot monitor, and SIRIUS satellite radio with a 380-watt Meridian sound system perfect for afternoon joyrides.
