The Jaguar F-Type (X152) is a series of two-door, two-seater sports cars manufactured by British car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover under their Jaguar Cars marque from 2013 to 2024. The car's JLR D6a platform is based on a shortened version of the XK's platform. It is the so-called "spiritual successor" to the E-Type.

The forgetten F-Type is still suffering, even with the addition of the 4 Cylinder. Dealership are having fire sales to move inventory.

IMO, that special feeling of buying a sports/luxury car isn't the same when you know the car you bought was sitting for months (potentially even years in the F-type's case) / a salesman was desperate to make a deal. It's also last in the segment (911/ AMG GT) by a margin.

It's a shame that small sports cars are a tough sell. Jaguar has created a brilliant recipe for an exciting sports car. What hinders prolonged sales of big volumes is price. The M4/RS5 offer better performance with added practicality at a lower price, and those with money buy a 911, Corvette, Hellcat etc.

The Jaguar F-TYPE is the definitive Jaguar sports car from a rich bloodline spanning 75 years and including some of the most iconic models ever built!
media.jaguar.com
"To mark the final Model Year of F-TYPE and 75 years of Jaguar sports cars, customers can choose 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 – of course – 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.
DESIGN
The Jaguar F-TYPE looks as dramatic as ever and is the definitive Jaguar sports car in a rich bloodline going back 75 years. The powerful proportions of the front-engine two-seater – with its body structure sculpted from light, stiff aluminium – are instantly recognisable, and the focused and assertive presence references the flowing forms from Jaguar’s rich sports car heritage, which began with the XK120 – launched in 1948 as the world’s fastest production car.
Super-slim LED headlights, featuring Pixel technology as standard**, with ‘Calligraphy’ J signature daytime running lights and sweeping direction indicators accentuate the car’s visual width and hint at its performance potential. They blend perfectly into the ‘liquid metal’ surfacing of the clamshell bonnet, which sweeps elegantly back, inspired by iconic models such as the C-type and D-type.
Unique to the F-TYPE 75 and F-TYPE R 75 are discreet badges on the front fenders which depict the F-TYPE’s unmistakable silhouette.
As part of the curated, simplified customer offer, every F-TYPE in the range is now offered with a model-specific 20-inch wheel as standard, with the F-TYPE 75 and R 75 distinguished by their gloss black, five-spoke- and gloss black diamond-turned 10-spoke designs respectively.
The rear haunches enhance the F-TYPE’s inherently dramatic, purposeful form and sweep downwards to the slender rear LED lights with ‘Chicane’ signature. Powertrain-specific exhaust pipes emerge from the rear diffuser, clearly signalling F-TYPE’s performance intent. Four-cylinder models feature a single, central, finisher while both the 450PS F-TYPE 75 and 575PS F-TYPE R 75 V8s are identified by quad, outboard exhausts – the latter featuring subtle etched R branding."
But (and I'm STILL shocked by this months later in a New Year!) look~
They seemingly just slipped that particularly minor detail in. They could easily utilize hybrid technologies, others do!
Unbelievable. Smh.

Boom!
Big nail in the coffin for Jaguar. IMO the brand is dead. I he ftype was the last remaining piece of heritage e.g performance and sexiness.
Their sedans are dull as dishwasher. SUVs live in the shadow of range rover and are increasingly uncompetitive even against Kia and Huyndai. All their models are dated.
All new ev line up coming in 2025? Who will wait that long? By then the brand will mean nothing to millenials and gen z. We are in 2023 and no test mules for the new EV jaguars have been spotted.
I would not be surprised if JLR makes the tough decision of pulling the plug on the brand very soon.

Well they've set their stall out. Same with Lotus and to a degree MG. Time will tell.

Don't disrespect MG by mentioning them in the same sentence as Jag. They already have a lineup of 3 EVs.

That was the point. Electrification, that's why I said "to a degree", because they have hybrids too, unlike Jaguar have stated.

I hope for a SV Special before to said goodbye to one of the best sounding car ever!

The best sounding F-Type is the pre-face lifted V8. Newer model is noticeably quieter.
