2021 Jaguar F-Type “R-Dynamic Black” Adds Style to an Already Stylish Sports Car 12 Apr 2021, 12:56 UTC ·

How long has it been since the F-Type sports car entered production in Castle Bromwich? Make that eight years, a period in which the Leaping Cat of Coventry operated a single refresh. Jaguar decided to unleash another visual package for the four-cylinder turbo and supercharged V8 mills to keep the F-Type lineup relevant in these SUV-driven times. 11 photos
“R-Dynamic Black” is how the package is called, and it
“enhances the beautiful, timeless design with additional equipment as standard.” Contrary to Jaguar, I object to describing the F-Type as timeless because it’s automotive vaporware compared to the gorgeous E-Type and XK120.
Anyone who looked through the press photos for the facelifted 2021 E63 S Sedan and Wagon may have spotted another omission for the North American market. Though the pictures show aggressively bolstered sport seats, these aren t an option for US-spec cars. These seats were previously available on the E63 (
CarBuzz tested them on a 2019 model), but they are no longer an option for 2021. We do not presently offer the AMG Performance Seat in the US, the spokesperson told us. But if there is significant interest from customers, this is something we could reconsider for a future model year.
While the Performance Seats look great, we prefer the base seats in such a large vehicle. The regular chairs are more comfortable on long distances and can optionally feature a massage function. Perhaps some eager owner will find a way to swap the Performance Seats or rear-facing jump seats into a 2021 E63 S Wagon. But we d say the E63 feels pretty special even without these features.
