Jaguar's given the F-Type its last model year update, including new '75' editions that celebrate 75 years since its first bespoke sports car, the XK120 –
sports car, precedeeding the model’s retirement in the next few years. Jaguar, as we know, is on a revolutionary path that will scrap its entire model range and transform the brand into a purely electric car manufacturer by 2025, calling an end to traditional combustion powered sports cars like the F-Type.
So before the reinvention, Jaguar’s giving its two-seater one final refresh, and launching special edition 75 models that celebrate 75 years of Jag’s sports car heritage. The special edition models are based on the three existing V8 specifications, and will include a range of bespoke detailing. The existing four-cylinder P300 retains its position as the entry-level model.
The 75’s styling changes are subtle, featuring a new silhouette insignia on the pop-out door handles and centre console. There’s a new Giola Green paint option, and a model-specific 20-inch wheel design, as well as other small changes to trim specifications across the interior.Underpinning all these MY23 updates are hardware changes within the rear suspension.
The supercharged 5-litre AJ-V8 will continue unchanged in its 444bhp and 567bhp forms, connected to the existing eight-speed transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive . The 567bhp75 also comes with the option of Jaguar’s carbon ceramic brake package, signified by the yellow finish to the calipers. The updated 2023 F-Type is available to order now, priced from £63,235 for the entry-level P300 and topping out at £102,870 for the flagship R 75. The changes apply to both coupe and convertible body styles, the latter carrying a £5590 premium.
