I want to see the quiet start mode in action immediately

The four-cylinder F-type, dubbed P300, doesn't need a Quiet Start mode. For that model, Jag pumps in extra sound through the stereo speakers. At least it's honest fakery. Unlike sound-augmentation systems that remix the engine note, Jaguar engineers recorded the 296-hp 2.0-liter inline-four's soundtrack and amplified it; that's what you're hearing through the speakers. In the music industry, this is what's known as a backing track.

It takes until the 4 minute mark for them to explain the car has been made quieter to protect you from being an ******.
Has Jaguar been taken over by passive aggressive sportscar haters who are completely out of touch with their heritage?
P. S. The new front end is a significant downgrade for my eye. The new taillights could be GM or Ford. It seems like Jaguar's heart is no longer in this car.

Agree with this 1000% pretty soon they'll be nothing but soulless electric cars everywhere.

That said, it seems a little insane to include an Eco button in a 575 HP V8. What are these engineers thinking? As an engineer, the goal is to analyze, design, build, test, verify, validate, deploy, and sustain, always back to meet requirements. Not back to requirements plus some other random stuff. One would assume that the 575 HP F-Type's internal requirements never included ultra mpg and quiet operation.

It's interesting that he lists the non-dated cars as the 1963 Porsche 911, the 1958 Chevy Corvette, the 2006 Audi R8. None of those cars have ever looked as good as a 2014-2020 F-Type, including the C8 which is immediately recognizable as a GM styling effort, unlike the C7.
for me the front end is an improvement principally because it brings the design in line with current trends,
these yellow press cars do not do the new front end any justice
in the right colour it looks spot on - i even think the non-R front bumper looks better, and would possibly retro the side inserts

I miss my tie-fighter lights, but I couldn't be more thankful for my 2016 to lemon out under warranty prior to losing my manual transmission and all these fascia and design changes in 2021.
2019 (wildly biased) is the last "f-type" we love, but I would guess it's really as soon as they phased the RWD 8cyl in 2015? Maybe 2016??

It's great to have competition to push all cars' performance. I noticed Drag Times YT channel did a 1320 test with a Taycon "Turbo" S that dropped from 100% to 88% after three runs. So I wouldn't call it realistic performance, at least not yet, but it is fun for sure.
