Jaguar: Lots of noble power for the anniversary 🎥
The (temporary) farewell to combustion engines is celebrated by Jaguar with two more or less new versions of its F-Type presented in 2012/2013. Will they be suitable as collector's items?
From 2025, Jaguar wants to become a fully electric luxury brand. The last two F-Type versions will be built until 2024. They are not limited, only the colors. The reason: The brand from Coventry, England, is celebrating 75 years of sports cars with the F-Type 75.
Limited color Giola Green
There is the F-Type 75 Convertible with 450 hp and a V8 engine, the limited color is called Giola Green, the interior is brown leather in the shade Nougat. Very nicely finished, as usual for Jaguar, in the cockpit a mixture of modern displays and retro switches. The convertible is 4.47 meters long, can be driven unexcitingly and is a nice sunshine excursion vehicle. In Switzerland, the open-top F-TYPE is also available in the somewhat more biting F-Type R75 version with 575 hp from 155,800 Swiss francs.
Coupé with 575-hp V8 engine
The second end-of-life Jaguar is a coupe, is called F-Type R75 Coupe and is also powered by the V8 engine with 575 hp. It comes as an anniversary edition in matte black with light leather interior and is available from 149 000 francs. Neither is unique, only the colors are limited. They would have the makings of classics in 30 years' time, however, because they mark a striking change in brand policy.
The previous models, the convertible F-Type R-Dynamic with 300 hp, are currently available from 91 100 francs, and as a coupe for 83 800 francs.
