Maybe there are different iterations? I don't know. Those sound straight piped, maybe it's the exhaust completely neuters them? I've been around a few when they gave them the beans and it was bad.
They come with a baffled exhaust as well, maybe it was in quiet mode?
Speaking of, I think my quiet mode is non existant..or at least i can't tell the difference from inside the car. I read up that if the fuse for the valves blow it just stays open
The R8 in the neighbourhood has switchable exhaust. He played with it a little when he got it. Since then he just leaves it in loud mode. Even in quiet mode the R8 is a lot louder than his GT3. His garage has more money in it than all of his neighbours combined.They come with a baffled exhaust as well, maybe it was in quiet mode?

Beautiful colour combo. What year is it?
2016 - Metallic British Racing Green. Wheels are aftermarket and are more gold then the classic bronze colour combo.

Friend of mind has an 2018 F type ragtop awd triple black and it’s a hoot! I didn’t miss having a manual one bit.
The ONLY draw back I found was limited storage for a weekend getaway. Wife and I debating. The coupe solves this but, the wife wants a drop top.
Just need more time to convince her……..
Meanwhile, she wants us to buy a morris minor vert another friend took her for a rip in. I may have poor judgement and choices but, hers is terrible! Unless it’s her decision on a second husband which is me. Good decision there. Me on the other hand………
Kidding! I’m happy! If we argue over toys and nothing else, life is good!

yeah i think all verts are a non starter for me. i don't need the space for family but F me...
got to try a random guys MX-5 RF (hardtop) 6psd while at Racer5. It was a hoot but lord can't fit a pen in that thing.
Well i debunked the exhaust 'not working' today. First time i actually rode around with the windows down. Lord i must be pissing people off, this is great!
No custom plates on this one? Or just not yet?
Still have to sell the wagon, plan to swap that plate over after.
I've tried a few custom ideas but they seem to be taken for the most part.
Looks good and again I love that colour combo as it's sporty yet classy. Those look like Vossen wheels (I want the same one's and in that colour for my white F150).
Looking into Jag it seems they weren't making any money on the F-Type so going all electric makes sense as the only place they were making money was on their luxury Land SUV's and that's more the clientele to buy EV.
Correct they are Vossens.
I drive past a house with an ipace often. Beautiful red one. It used to be in the garage but lately has been parked outside. Apparently some like to light on fire. Not sure if that is why this one is outside.

Congrats on that sweet ride - love the colour combo!
Those EVO-4's go for around CAD 2700/wheel last time I checked with JRP online.
Do you have a stonshow front plate bracket or something?
Ty!
These aren't Evo4's!
These are HF-5

No front plate bracket.
Woah! Late on this, but nice ride! Congrats!
Love the colour. British racing green?
I had a VdP in that colour.
