'Porsche 911 50th anniversary Edition' vs 'Jaguar F-Type'

The 'Porsche 911 50th anniversary edition' is made in 2014, and 'Jaguar F-Type Coupe S' is made in 2014, too. Both cars are popular sports cars. The 'Porsche 911 50th anniversary edition' is supported by a 430 horse power enigne and  'Jaguar F-Type Coupe S' is supported by a 550 horse power engine. Which of the two cars is better?

Jaguar F-Type Coupe S:







The driving experience for both cars is very sexy. The Porsche is smooth and powerful because of the great gearbox. This car is perfect for poeple who like to drive to the mountains. The Jaguar is a beast because of the angry growling sound. This is my English Teacher's favorite car.

The price of the two cars is very different. The 911 is nearly two times the price of the F-Type.The Porsche 911 is $144000 and the Jaguar F-Type is $80000. The Porsche Carrera S is the mosst similar to the 50th Edition and coats about $128000, so you are paying an extra $16000 for the 50th Edition. It is hard to justify paying  an extra $16000 for the 50th Edition, and even harder to justify paying $60000 more for the Poesche than the Jaguar.

The interiors of the two cars are similar. The 911 has a better looking dashboard and the F-Type has a hand grip for the passenger. They also have a similar gear shifter and gear stick.  The boot space of the 911 only has 145 litres, but the F-Type Convertible has 200 litres, and the Coupe has 407 litres. So the F-Type seems to win on the interior.

The Porshe only has one choice of engine, whereas the Jaguar has three types of engine. The Porshe
has a 3.8 liter 6 cylinder engine which generates 394bhp and a top speed of 186mph/h. The Jaguar has a V6, V6S and V8 variant. The V6 engine has 3.0 liters which generates 340bhp, the V6S engine has 3.0 liters which generates 380bhp and the V8 engine has 5.0 liters which generates 550bhp.
The sound of the Porsche is elegent, but the Jaguar is too powerful and noisy. 

So, overall for the engine, driving experience, interior and price, the F-Type wins. 
 So next time we will be comparing the 'Aston Martin Vanpuish' and 'Bentley GTC Speed'
