Jaguar’s F-Type ZP Edition was initially thought to be the final chapter for the F-Type line, but it turns out that standard versions of the car will continue to be sold until early 2025. However, the true last stand for the F-Type is the final unit produced at Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich facility on May 22, 2024. This particular F-Type is colored Giola Green on the outside with a Tan Windsor leather interior under a black roof. Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine, this F-Type holds significant historical significance as it will be heading to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust collection on the same day that its inspiration, the Jaguar E-Type, ended production in 1974.
Speaking of the iconic E-Type, Jaguar produced 75,528 of these legendary vehicles between 1961 and 1974 across three different Series. In comparison, from 2013 to 2024, Jaguar built 87,731 F-Types. This demonstrates the enduring popularity and impact of the F-Type in the automotive industry.
With the F-Type reaching its finale, Jaguar is now focusing on its transition to electrification. The details of Jaguar’s upcoming electric lineup remain unknown, with the first product set to be revealed next year. However, the vision for Jaguar’s electric reinvention includes a two-door sports car and two SUVs that will rival luxury brands like Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
According to reports, the initial plans for an electric coupe have been replaced by a four-seat GT that is speculated to have four doors. Some sources suggest that this GT could be a revived version of the XJ, albeit larger and more luxurious than its predecessor. Built on the new long-wheelbase JEA platform, these electric vehicles are expected to offer at least 450 horsepower, all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering, and fast charging capabilities.
Design-wise, Jaguar aims to adopt a minimalist approach with an emphasis on touchscreens and sustainable materials, drawing inspiration from the Range Rover playbook. As part of this design shift, the classic Leaper emblem, which has been synonymous with Jaguar since World War II, will be retired. Instead, Jaguar will rely on wordtype branding both on the exterior and interior, similar to Range Rover’s design language.
In a surprising twist, it has been reported that none of the upcoming Jaguar electric vehicles will feature a rear window. Instead, they will utilize a digital ‘mirror’ positioned at the base of the windshield, similar to the Polestar 3. While this may be a departure from traditional Jaguar styling cues, it adds a touch of modernity and innovation to the upcoming lineup.
The GT is expected to be the first electric model to debut next year, followed by one SUV per year for the subsequent two years. The anticipation surrounding these upcoming Jaguar electric vehicles continues to grow as more details emerge. From their luxurious features and performance capabilities to their sustainable design approach, these electric vehicles have the potential to redefine the Jaguar brand in the electric era.
