Jaguar makes history with its final F-TYPE example.
For over a decade, the Jaguar F-TYPE has served as the historic British luxury brand’s sports car offering, boasting stunning looks, an available open top, the option for a V8 engine, and robust performance. However, as Jaguar prepares to become an all-electric luxury vehicle manufacturer, the Jaguar F-TYPE is being ceremoniously sent off, and Jaguar has announced that the final example will be preserved as a historic masterpiece in Jaguar’s Heritage Collection.
Its placement in the Heritage Collection will be a milestone moment, especially because it will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the production of the final Jaguar E-type, one of Jaguar’s most legendary models that served as inspiration for the F-TYPE and a car that is still lauded today as one of the world’s greatest and most beautiful sports cars.
The final Jaguar F-TYPE is a 5.0-liter V8-powered convertible finished in Giola Green, paired with a Tan Windsor leather interior and a black soft top. Not only does the configuration evoke the classic combination of a green exterior and tan interior, which British sports cars are well known for, but it also echoes the configuration of the final E-type from 1974, with its 5.3-liter V12.
Both the E-type and F-TYPE are being sent off in similar ways, and just as the E-type gave way to the Jaguar XJ-S, the Jaguar F-TYPE is set to give way to a new all-electric model, a four-door GT that will be revealed in 2025, heralding the anticipated new chapter in Jaguar’s history. With its bittersweet and historic finale, Jaguar is ending the F-TYPE era as a true sports car icon, with something futuristic and groundbreaking coming soon to take its place.
