Forza Horizon 2: Good To Be Bad

ftype

The Jaguar F-Type Coupe is one of the most highly anticipated cars of 2014 and it's definitely one of the must-haves if we got the cash to roll in one of these. The top-of-the-line model, the F-Type R Coupe has the same supercharged 5.0L V8 engine from the XKR-S and it's a growler to drive on the city streets and on the open roads. We really wish we want one of those but thanks to the Mobil 1 Car Pack on Forza Horizon 2, we now have the chance to drive Jaguar's latest sportscar that puts the XKR-S to shame and I shall now demonstrate by driving the F-Type R Coupe on its special monthly events made specifically for this car and it takes place somewhere in Nice.

So, the F-Type Coupe. What's my experience upon driving one in Forza Horizon 2? For me, not only I felt happy upon driving it but I've never felt so alive to be behind the wheel of Jaguar's latest sportscar famed for its "Good To Be Bad" tagline. I mean come on, you saw one in the ads a few months ago, right? Anyway, the F-Type R Coupe is definitely one of the most enjoyable cars I can drive on Forza Horizon 2 and judging by that snarling noise from its supercharged V8 engine, it sounds oh so sinister indeed. I could just spend all day listening to that noise from its Active Sport Exhaust. It never gets old so easily.

So, what about handling? Well, because this is a V8-powered growler, the F-Type R Coupe is too dynamic and even a slight mistake can cost you so you need to be more focused while handling the F-Type because of its massive torque that causes too much wheelspin at the start if you don't get the launch right. You need to work on your timing to get this car off smoothly but getting off is utter irrelevance because the dynamic character is not suitable for a novice. If you're brave enough to master the F-Type R Coupe, this shouldn't be a problem and when you're not racing, you can pull some amazing tricks on the open space like for example, the Aerodrome.

In my evaluation, the Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a British sports car worth enjoyable to drive on Forza Horizon 2 when it comes to its snarl, its power, its performance, and the way this car enjoys in the Horizon Festival. With this car, you know that it feels "Good to be Bad" in Forza Horizon 2 and when other people noticed your ride, even at Car Meets, they'll know that you are more of a bad guy in the Southern European landscape. I really love to drive this Jaguar more than I can ever have in this game.
