Alright all,
Are all 3 litre f type jags supercharged and the S version slightly more souped up or are some a naturally aspirated 3 litre, I've just been looking at a car that has all of the S badges on it but a supercharger isn't mentioned.
Cheers Mark

The S is the same 3.0 supercharged engine as the standard car but with an additional 40bhp

From memory when I was looking at an Ftype purchase that didnt happen, the S has a mechanical slippy diff and the non-S has an electronic diff. Both it would seem can have issues (mostly wear related on the mechanical diff) the mechanical diff was my preference from the info i stumbled across.

Not the standard of the S car as asked about though. Yes there is a 400 model since 2018

All F-Type cars are supercharged. The base V6 has an open diff, whereas the V6S has a mechanical limited slip differential. I believe the majority of AWD and V8 models have electronically controlled differentials.

The ‘S’ model comes with 40BHP more, dynamic suspension, active exhaust, bigger brakes and a few other options as standard. Be sure to get one with a switchable exhaust button in order to open the exhaust valves at all RPM!

The base V6 can be chipped to 380BHP and beyond though ...

True that! Sorry, all 3.0 and 5.0 cars are supercharged.
