REVIEW: It's almost time to say farewell to the Jaguar F-Type, but not before we take the new Convertible 75 P450 for a spin 🔥 Here's our verdict:
Production is expected to cease in early 2024, and that will mark the end not only of the F-Type but three-quarters of a century of the British brand building petrol-engined sports cars – a history that stretches all the way back to theIt’s a legacy of which Jaguar is rightly very proud. It's also a milestone that was too good to miss for Jag’s marketing department, and that largely explains the existence of the new F-Type 75.
Instead, the F-Type 75 has what Jaguar describes as a ‘carefully curated’ specification. Gloss black 20in alloy wheels fill the arches, while the badge on the grille has also been painted black . There’s more: Giola Green metallic paint joins the colour palette, 12-way adjustable Windsor leather seats now come as standard and there’s a handful of F-Type silhouettes on the front wings, sill plates and dashboard.
Nothing that’s going to elevate the F-Type above newer, more capable offerings, then, but this is a timely opportunity to reconsider if a generously equipped V8 F-Type is still a good buy . in rear-wheel-drive form, understudy to the indecently rapid P575 R. The lesser motor needs plenty of revs before really coming alive, but that just means you can leave your foot in for longer and enjoy the noise it makes.
Since the introduction of a petrol particulate filter a few years back, driving an F-Type hard is no longer quite the eardrum-maiming experience it once was. These things are relative, though: this is still a hilariously loud car, especially with the sports exhaust turned up to full volume and particularly when there’s no roof getting in the way.
