Howdy All,
About to treat myself to a 2018 P380 R Dynamic, just waiting for a business deal to complete. Never really thought I would be in a position to do this so looking forward to ownership, fun and being part of the F-Type family
Only pre purchase question I have is - how much of a difference is there between the P340 and P380 (other than 40 horses!)
Cheers

The 340 engine is basically a software restricted version of the 380 - you could say the same about the 380 to the 400.
The difference is at the top of the rev range so you need to wring it out a bit to get the benefit of the extra 40 horses - not that that’s any hardship to do with the way the V6 sings

Performance seats, Meridian, heated flat bottom wheel with aluminium paddles, heated front screen, cruise, dual zone climate, switchable active exhaust
You probably won’t notice the extra 40 hp unless you wring it’s neck, but the 380 gets a LSD, active suspension and bigger brakes as standard. Additionally, P380’s tend to be specified with more options as a (very) general rule.
Thanks All, appreciate the feedback. Feeling like a child waiting on a new toy just now. Moving from an Alfa Giulia Veloce so been having fun and getting used to the paddles for a few months!
Roll on January

In Sport mode you can use the shifter instead of the paddles, should you feel so inclined - forward to shift down, back to shift up.

Lots of leather and toys, and loads of noise!
Update, I have purchased my dream car and pick up next week. P340 19 plate, Carpathian Grey, pan roof, fibre and black pack stuff. Life will never be the same, feel sorry for my wife already
