Last week, Audi introduced the R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD, the firm’s final goodbye to its mid-engined supercar. Recently, Jaguar announced the F-Type 75, a special-edition model line-up with which the British marque is saying farewell to the F-Type. The local arm of the Coventry carmaker has confirmed that the celebratory models are heading to our shores, with the firm announcing that the first customer deliveries are scheduled to take place from January 2023.
Available in coupé and convertible body styles, the F-Type 75 is equipped with Jaguar’s sonorous supercharged V8, available in different states of tune. The 5.0-litre engine produces 331 kW and 580 Nm of torque in the F-Type 75 and 423 kW and 700 Nm in the F-Type R 75.
Jaguar claims the former models sprint to the three-figure marker from a standstill in “just” 4.6 seconds before reaching a top speed of 285 km/h. The R variants complete the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in a claimed 3.7 seconds. These models have an electronically governed top speed of 300 km/h.
The celebratory models feature unique exterior and interior design elements. Starting with the former, the F-Type 75 models’ “super-slim” LED headlamps feature Pixel technology as standard. The front headlamp clusters incorporate signature daytime-running lights. Unique to the 75 models are model-specific 20-inch wheels finished in gloss black.
The interior features the firm’s 12.3-inch configurable digital driver’s display and touchscreen infotainment. Performance seats are standard. The pews are upholstered in Windsor leather.
