The 2024 Jaguar F-Type 75 drives the F-Type’s decade-long legacy into the sunset as a final, special edition arriving in coupe and convertible variants. The British automaker plans to go purely electric after this.

Jaguar will soon be missing a sports car in the catalogue. Their mighty F-Type will retire in 2024 after a decade-long run. First arriving in 2014, it was the British marque’s answer to the Porshe 718, BMW Z4, Audi R8, and the Mercedes-AMG coupes – A market jam-packed with big-boy wheels, grungy German horsepower, and drop-tops. With this upcoming edition, it will sit atop the F-Tyle line in its final year of production. After which, Jaguar will be a fully electric luxury carmaker, starting in 2025 with a whole new EV lineup revealed in 2024. Here’s all about the Jaguar F-Type 75.

Under the hood, you’ll actually find a few interesting engine options. There’s a calmer V8 that makes 450 horsepower and 580 Nm of torque. Also, a grungy 5.0-litre turbocharged V8 churns out 575 horsepower and 700 Nm of British torque. You already know which one we’re picking. Both engines are matched with an 8-speed Quickshift automatic transmission.
