Jaguar F-type first ride video

Hear the new Jaguar F-type Roadster's fantastic soundtrack as we ride in it for the first time in this video

We’d be the first to admit the Jaguar F-type’s development process has felt long, and that we can’t wait to just drive the thing. But while a passenger ride is clearly second best to personally having a go, as Harry Metcalfe’s video above proves, it can reveal plenty about a car’s character nonetheless.
