Jaguar Track Days 2013 at Salzburg

In the Jaguar Track Days 2013 at Salzburg ring we had the opportunity to experience the new Jaguar F-Type in his element.

2014 Jaguar F-Type

The Jaguar F-Type has certainly delivered one of the hottest releases of 2013. The successor to the legendary E-Type boasts a crisp design and is instantly recognizable as a Jaguar again.

Considered especially from the side it looks like a real wild cat jump on to kill the next prey. The front end is just as distinctive design as the tail and leaves no confusion with other car models arise.

The all-new roadster but can also come up with the perfect mix of fun and combines rear-wheel drive with powerful engines.

Thus, the contact pressure at high speeds will be even better, there is a automatically extending rear spoiler, which presses of 120 kg on the rear axle. The weight of 120 kg is also that of other adult male jaguar, which the circle between car and big cat closes again.

Even if the F-type is as snappy as a jaguar, the sprint he hangs loosely from the cat. Customers can choose between three engines, it already has the 3.0-liter V6 as the base engine 340 hp (250 kW) and accelerates in 5.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h

2014 Jaguar F-Type

Is slightly stronger then the 3.0 V6 S which conjures from the same engine a performance of 380 hp (280 kW) and do the parade sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.9 seconds already.

As the top model is a 5.0-liter V8 compressor available, the 495 hp (364 kW) speed up the approximately 1660 kg heavy feline in just 4.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km / hr.

The 5.0 liter V8 is the top speed at 300 km / h of just 3.0 V6 S 285 km / h, the base model is still considerable 260 km / h

All three models feature an 8-speed Quickshift automatic, which is to provide fast and gentle gear changes.

2014 Jaguar F-Type interior

As sporty is the Jaguar from the outside so athletic he is also the interior. Finest leather upholstery and many decorative elements made of aluminum shape the modern and dynamically designed interior.

In our first encounter with the F-Type on Salzburg ring we have therefore also felt immediately at home. The space suits for tall people, and when you press the start button, you will be welcomed by the snarling big cat, which must be considered in this case as a positive sign.

Even the basic version offers very attractive performance and is very good on the road. But the big surprise was the 3.0-liter V6 S, which on paper though "only" has 40 more horsepower, which makes brute force but still available.

In addition, the S also has a configurable dynamic program and is thus again better on the road than the basic version.

The model driven by us possessed also still on the active exhaust system in which you create via pressure on the sound button to the right start an even more glorious crescendo.

The crowning glory of the series then puts the V8 still a shovel after and is in its power delivery just a little bit better than the 6-cylinder sharpened.

2014 Jaguar F-Type

The vehicle is harmonious but the V6 S, which allows smoother ride, yet still provides enough fun.

On the handling course we could also convince the agility of us. Even the basic version allows a fast pace around the pylons, and the brakes grab even on wet roads very well and to allow optimal delay.

How safe is the F-Type with ESP, we could see on the slide. Without ESP drifts are not a problem, and the F-Type can be intercepted well if you react quickly enough. With ESP, however hardly a drift is possible, and the F-Type remains safe on the road. The tail may indeed prance easily than would be the Jaguar on the watch, the electronics, it begins again immediately and brings the F-Type on track.

2014 Jaguar F-Type

Among other things, there is an additional charge a super high performance brake system, 20 "alloy wheels, premium leather upholstery, a Meridian sound system or a navigation system.

In any case, Jaguar has succeeded with the F-Type a more than worthy successor to the E-Type. The F-Type is as it was then blessed the E-type with a unique design that will not lose its charm even after many years. Compared to its predecessor but it's still much more dynamic to move and also provides more safety and comfort.

Perfectly positioned is the small control stick that is positioned on the flat running and free-floating center console near the top. Under the center console then there is also a large storage compartment, as well as the somewhat hidden housed controls for the heated seats. The materials used have a very high quality, and also the color choice in the interior fits perfectly with the economical Toyota.

2013 Toyota Prius Hybrid

Despite the sleek shape of the Prius for passengers and luggage provides plenty of space. Even in the second row, you can still travel comfortably. For tall passengers, only the thigh support adjustment of the steering column is a bit too short and too small. This results in a not very optimal seating position for tall drivers.

The boot capacity is also generous with 443 liters, under a small flap, there is also a very handy storage compartment in which the charging cable can be accommodated.

The many cup holders and shelves inside also offer extra space for small items. This shows that the Prius is completely tailored to the tastes of the North Americans.

Also, the engine adapts itself to fit the urban driving habits of Americans. The combination of a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder with 99 PS (73 kW) and 60 hp (18 kW) electric motor produces a system output of 136 hp (100 kW). Those who wish can lay up to 25 kilometers purely electric, and we have come in practice to a value of around 20 kilometers. Just over 90 km / h shuts the gasoline engine also is added. Nevertheless, it is mainly in urban areas often purely electric way, even if the main battery is empty.

2013 Toyota Prius Hybrid

The Prius has a cap on each side of the vehicle, one for the filling of the gasoline engine and is responsible for charging the batteries. If the batteries, you can charge the Prius Plug-in on any normal power socket. Push of a button, you can also save battery power for later retrieval, which is especially handy if you from out of town in a city with low emission zone go.

His greatest assets is the Prius hybrid plug-in without this in the city. There he can shine with its rapid acceleration up to 50 km / h and a very high proportion of electrically kilometers covered and provides a wonderful consumption.

Over land, it will be a little tougher with the Prius, which is mainly due to the continuously variable transmission. Who gets the full power, given a distressed-sounding engine features to wish its pulling power also unsatisfactory. While the Prius accelerates in 10.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h who wants to overtake a car on the highway, but should be patient and just wait for a long time.

2013 Toyota Prius Hybrid

Is the Prius then once in motion, he moves back very quiet and comfortable. Also, suspension and chassis are all designed for comfort on the Prius, which once again underlines its vote to the U.S. market. It seems to float across the street and can also complete long distances without problems. But he taught in curves not the best feeling, though he should offer thanks to its low center of gravity and advantages here is actually safe on the road - it just does not feel as for the passengers.

But what clearly speaks for the Prius hybrid plug-in, its consumption has actually surprised us. Specified by the factory 2.1 liters per 100 kilometers, although hardly accessible, with 3.4 liters but is still sensational efficient Prius hybrid plug-in. Even if after the batteries are not charging, the consumption remains very low. After more than 300 kilometers without additional charging of the main battery, the onboard computer was still reported very frugal 3.9 liters per 100 kilometers.

2013 Toyota Prius Hybrid

Here, the Prius would certainly have been more economical if we could have pinched the overtaking on the highway as well as the utilization of the allowable highway speeds.

It is also pleasing the clarity offered by the compact Toyota, only the two-piece tailgate makes the rear view, it offers the standard rearview camera when parking a good overview.

The Prius plug-in hybrid has proven to be very comfortable partner, who can score with good facilities and plenty of space.

But its greatest strength is its economical use of fuel. This reflects the long experience of Toyota in the hybrid drive, which works really excellent. That the CVT transmission and allow the power delivery is not much fun, the Prius might be forgiven given the sensationally low consumption. He is definitely an ideal companion for those who want to be frugal on the road, especially in urban areas.
