I can’t get over how profoundly attractive this car is. Parked on the shiny, crème-brulee coloured polyurethane garage floor, I take my time to admire it in all its glory. First of all there is the colour, black at first glance, but changing into a royal dark blue, when the sun hits the metal skin. In addition it features Jaguar’s black package. Meaning all emblems are blacked-out. What an awesome design detail.

It’s only the second F-Type facelift since its introduction in 2016, but man, did they do a magnificent job. A new bigger and wider grille and narrower headlights, giving the car this fiercely slitted gaze. You see this in your rear view mirror and you automatically move to the left to make room.

Then there is this incredibly beautiful posterior. No, wait, let’s call it, what it is: an enchanting ass. One can’t stop admiring it. Jaguar really wanted to make sure, that it looks as attractive as possible, as most other drivers will only see the cat from behind, when it prowls. It’s a stunning, modern rear with four end pipes gloriously protruding from it. The new Jag is long (4.47m) and very low (1.31m), resulting in an even more muscular appearance and stance. And the door handles are retractable, so not to disturb the side lines. There is a slight resemblance to the new Mustang and Maserati, but that’s a good, not a bad thing.

And this beauty is my first chance since lockdown to hit the open road during a short trip. There is obviously not much space to put your stuff. A proper two-seater with no space behind the seats. And a fully digital cockpit, illuminated like the rest of the interior, by the large glass roof. The car fits like a glove and you are immediately part of the machine.
