I know it's not a borderline exotic but to me, the Jag F Type is sexy as hell with a fantastic engine, if it was 2+2 I would have one instead of the 911 but I use the back seats abut 70% of the time.
I love the look of the f type and given my thing for low end torque was looking at the R's. Prior to 2016 they were RWD but in 2016 they went AWD. I have driven both. The RWD has traction issues. The AWD can put down the power.

In the end though the F type did not speak to me like a porsche did, just doesn't feel as alive or connected of a drive.

But if I ever win the lottery I would have one as part of the collection, a different kind of fun than a porsche. Outrageous sound and balls to the wall torque!
