Jaguar discontinues F-Type after an 11-year run

SAUDI ARABIA : The final Jaguar F-Type has been produced at the Castle Bromwich plant, marking a significant milestone as Jaguar transitions to producing low-volume electric luxury vehicles. The last F-Type was manufactured precisely 50 years after the final E-Type, and it pays homage to its predecessor with its Giola Green exterior, tan leather interior, and black convertible top.

This final F-Type will be housed in the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust’s collection in Gaydon, alongside the last XE, XF, and XF Sportbrake models. Despite the end of its production, F-Types will continue to be available in Jaguar showrooms in markets like the UK until early next year. In total, 87,731 units of the F-Type were produced, surpassing the E-Type's production run by 15,000 units.

With the cessation of F-Type, XE, and XF production at Castle Bromwich, Jaguar will temporarily become an SUV-exclusive brand. The F-Pace will continue to be manufactured at Solihull, while production of the E-Pace and I-Pace will proceed in Graz, Austria, until the end of next year.

Jaguar's future lineup will include a grand tourer built on the new JEA platform, which is set to be unveiled later this year. This new electric vehicle is anticipated to offer a range of approximately 700 kilometers and a starting price exceeding GBP 1,00,000. It is expected to feature a dual-motor powertrain with a combined output of over 580 horsepower. Following the grand tourer, Jaguar plans to introduce a luxurious SUV designed to compete with the Bentley Bentayga, as well as a large saloon intended to replace the canceled XJ EV.

The Jaguar F-Type has earned its status as a legendary car for several compelling reasons:

1. Exquisite Design

The Jaguar F-Type stands out with its striking design, combining classic British elegance with modern sports car aggression. Its sleek lines, muscular stance, and distinctive features like the clamshell bonnet, signature J-shaped LED daytime running lights, and powerful rear haunches make it instantly recognizable

2. Performance Prowess

The F-Type offers an impressive range of engines, all of which enabled blistering acceleration and top speeds exceeding. The precision-tuned chassis, adaptive suspension, and advanced aerodynamics contribute to a driving experience that is both thrilling and refined.

3. Heritage and Legacy

The F-Type carries the legacy of Jaguar’s storied sports car history, particularly the iconic E-Type from the 1960s, which Enzo Ferrari famously called "the most beautiful car ever made." The F-Type serves as a modern interpretation of this classic, capturing the spirit and passion of Jaguar’s golden era.

4.Innovative Technology

Jaguar equipped the F-Type with cutting-edge technology, enhancing both performance and driver engagement. Features like the configurable dynamic system, which allows drivers to tailor the car’s response to their preferences, and the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system, providing seamless connectivity and intuitive controls, elevate the driving experience.
