The [Jaguar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-etype) brand has become notorious for its gorgeous vintage vehicles which is has only recently decided to move away from with such designs as the Jaguar F-Type Coupe. Sleek and contemporary for the modern driver, it is set to rival [Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/964-cabriolet) Cayman and 911 as the "most dynamically capable, performance focused" road car in its history.

Utterly exciting for more than car enthusiasts, the Jaguar F-Type Coupe boasts the 542bhp V8R, which will get from 0-60mph in four seconds dead and do 186mph flat-out. Just slightly more expensive than the Porsche [911 Carrera S](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-porsche-911-carrera-s-mt) and significantly less than the almost identical Aston Martin V12 Vantage S, the Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a gorgeous ride that offers people bang for their buck.
