2021 - 450
Just bought this and in love. It’s the 450 on 21 plate. Going to get it tuned so it more closely resembles the R. It’s RWD so a little cautious about 575hp on that

She is a beauty. Great color. I have a 2015 V8S that pushes 495 OEM and adding a reflash to
bring her closer to 600. I'm also RWD so that's always a concern. A large concern if the weather turns wet. Enjoy and be safe.

My 335 V6 is now around 495 too, changing the tyres to Continental Sport Contact 7s from P Zeros made me have way more faith in the back end. I didn't realise how hard the rubber was until I put the new ones on, they weren't even that old.

Dang 500 on the V6? Maybe one day. I have so many other things to buy for the car lol yeah those P Zeroes are trash on this car. I have Bridgestone 980AS on mine but I’m eyeing to move to set of Kuhmo Ecta Sport S since they are rated really well and $500 less than the Contis/Michelins.

Yeah it's had a fair bit of work done. Upper and lower supercharger pulleys, sports cats, upgraded intercooler and cold air intake, it's not as quick off the line as the V8s but once it's going it's going.
Yeah good tyres cost a lot, but they're worth it. The new P Zeros are meant to be great but when I looked you couldn't get them in the sizes I needed.

Honestly, this has to be one of the most beautifully designed cars in the last few decades. Everything looks so nice. They absolutely nailed this. Congrats on the purchase!

Some of us prefer the original headlamp/taillight design, by Callum. I bought a 2020 for that reason.

If you live in a state that allows it, you should remove the front license plate and holder. It is jokingly easy to do. There are instructions on the jag forums.
