A Jaguar's Life

The other day I was sitting on my couch watching the MSU vs. Rutgers game, and this commercial for the jaguar came on.  I loved how their angle for the commercial was using villains pronouncing the word “jaguar” in a funny way.  As you would assume, this inspired me to write about the jaguar this week.  Before this blog’s research, I myself only knew it was a luxury and sports car company.  I was shocked with a couple things about their sports car, and I think you will be too.

As far as history goes, jaguar is probably one of the funniest we have examined yet.  This company started out in the side cart business for motorcycles in 1922.  Yes, you read that right, they started out by making side carts for motorcycles.  Going forward, it took Jaguar about 49 years, but it got to the point they started to make full-size cars.  After that, they kept going forward, and now they are making luxury and sports cars.

As usual, here is the list of 2015 Jaguar Models.  The first model is the the standard F-Type, which starts at about $65,000.  The next model is the F-Type S which starts at about $77,000.  Model number three is the F-Type S AWD which is starting at about $85,000.  The last model, and the one we will be looking into greater detail, is the F-Type R which starts at about $104,000.

Upon closer examination, we find the 2015 Jaguar F-Type R.  The reasons we are looking at this model that it is the most expensive Jaguar model and the fastest Jaguar model.  Great reasons, I know.  Here are a few pictures of this beauty and some specs I found from Jaguar’s official website:

 0-60 mph-3.9 Seconds

Top speed-186 mph

Overall mpg-18

Engine-V8 5.0 L

Horsepower-550

Length-176 in.

Width-74.2 in.

Height-51.6 in.

This Jaguar really impressed me in more than one way.  I like the style of the vehicle, kind of small, but at the same time dynamite.  I like that it is a V8 5.0 liter engine, meaning it's a very strong vehicle.  I love the fact that even though it's not the biggest engine, its maximum speed topping at 186 miles per hour along with great acceleration speed.  I'm happy there is a car like this out there that proves you don't have to have the “baddest” engine in the business to be fast and furious.  Overall, I think this Jaguar model is a great looking performance car.
