THE F-Type is the definitive Jaguar sports car from a rich bloodline spanning 75 years, including some of the most iconic models ever built.
In Coupé or Convertible form, the F-Type offers a perfect balance of instinctive performance and driver reward with a muscular, assertive design and cabin defined by luxurious materials, exacting craftsmanship and exquisite details.
For the final model year, on sale from early 2023, the range has become simpler and more focused, making it easy for petrolheads to select their perfect F-Type.
It looks more purposeful and assertive than ever, too, with 20-inch wheels standard on all models, and discreet detail changes such as the wheel centres and grille badge from red to black, and the R and R-Dynamic badge accent colours now black and grey instead of red and green.
To mark the final model year of F-Type and 75 years of Jaguar sports car, there is a choice between the new F-Type 75 or F-Type R 75 special editions. These are distinguished by unique interior and exterior design elements, carefully curated specifications, and the supercharged 5.0-litre Jaguar V8 engine synonymous with F-Type.
These exclusive models are a fitting celebration of internal combustion engine performance before Jaguar becomes a pure electric modern luxury brand from 2025.
Jaguar Land Rover chief designer, exteriors, Matthew Beaven said: “For 75 years, Jaguar has been renowned for producing extraordinary sports cars that deliver performance, agility and maximum driver reward. The F-Type special editions hold true to these principles, adding unique interior and exterior design details to celebrate this lineage before Jaguar becomes an all-electric brand.”
The F-Type 75 and R 75 models are distinguished by the unique silhouette motif on the engine spin centre console finisher and stainless steel tread plates, while the interior black pack is another subtle enhancement.
