But at heart, that part of its DNA that's common to all Jaguars, is still there: the long wheelbase, the balance, and a group of engineers who sometimes just really like doing that sort of thing. </div><div><br></div><div>I know it can seem a bit daft, but when chassis engineers take the time to ensure that a car goes into and comes out of a slide with the elegance of this (Lotus's engineers take the time, too), it says good things about their whole approach to dynamics. Every detail is nailed, and the car is better as a result.</div><div><br></div><div>And it is better. Better than I'd credited before some reflection. In some ways the F-type is a simple roadster, but there's genuine dynamic ability beneath it, which is just as well given where Jaguar has priced it. </div><div><br></div><div>In its base form, it costs £10,000 more than an identically powered BMW Z4 before you get jiggy with options on either. Further up the range it's less of an issue, but no question it's priced with confidence. Justifiably? I think so. In fact, think there is only one manufacturer Jaguar has to worry about. </div><div><br></div><div>Trouble is, it's from Stuttgart, and it makes not one but two compelling models. </div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
