The car was built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing, and it's powered by a 7.0-liter V-12 that produces between 750 and over 1,000 horsepower depending on how it's tuned. The top speed is north of 245 mph.

Notes From The Driveway: 2016 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe
I got into this business in late 2001. At the time, I couldn't wait to drive the Jaguar XK. It was a beautiful swoopy coupe that looked, for the lack of a better word, special. Then I got into it, and it didn't feel special. It felt like any other Jaguar sedan of the day--not too sporty, with an...

You might say it was a hell of an introduction.
