As Jaguar’s last gas-powered sports car, the F-TYPE carries forward a legendary lineage into its final chapter.

When the Jaguar F-TYPE debuted in 2013, it was hailed as the true spiritual successor to the iconic Jaguar E-Type. Designed as a sleek, two-seat sports car, the F-TYPE brought Jaguar back into the spotlight with its bold styling, agile performance, and unmistakable exhaust note.

Over the years, it became a showcase of Jaguar’s engineering prowess, offering a wide range of engines — from turbocharged four-cylinders and supercharged V6s to the awe-inspiring 5.0-liter supercharged V8 producing up to 575 horsepower. Exclusive models like the SVR and Project 7 made the lineup even more enticing, giving enthusiasts plenty of reasons to celebrate Jaguar’s return to pure sports car form.

The Evolution and Final Chapter of the Jaguar F-TYPE

In 2021, Jaguar refreshed the F-TYPE with a sharper, more modern look. Slim Pixel LED headlights, a redesigned grille, and new bumper designs gave the car a more aggressive presence. Inside, the cabin was refined with a fully digital driver display, enhanced infotainment, and high-quality materials, blending performance-focused design with everyday comfort.

By its final year in 2024, Jaguar marked the car’s farewell with the “75” and “R 75” editions, celebrating 75 years of Jaguar sports cars. These editions featured exclusive design details, special badging, and Jaguar’s supercharged 5.0‑litre V8 as standard, ensuring the F-TYPE went out on a high note. The F-TYPE R 75 in particular showcased the model at its peak, with 575 HP, a blistering 0–60 mph time of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

Production of the Jaguar F-TYPE came to a close in mid-2024, marking the end of an era. Over its lifetime, Jaguar built nearly 88,000 F-TYPEs, surpassing the total number of E-Types produced. Fittingly, the last Jaguar F-TYPE built at Castle Bromwich joined the Jaguar Heritage Collection. This was not only the conclusion of a model line but also the end of Jaguar’s gas-powered sports car era. As Jaguar transitions toward becoming an all-electric luxury brand, the F-TYPE has earned its place as the final combustion-powered sports car from the marque.

Could the F-TYPE become a collector’s car?

While no one can predict the future of the collector car market with certainty, the Jaguar F-TYPE has several qualities that could make it highly desirable in the years to come. Its role as the last gas-powered Jaguar sports car gives it historical significance. Its connection to the legendary E-Type enhances its emotional appeal. And with limited-edition variants like the F-TYPE 75 and R75, there are already models that stand out for their exclusivity. Collectors often gravitate toward cars that represent a turning point in automotive history, and the F-TYPE may very well fall into that category.

That said, collectibility is never guaranteed. Market trends, cultural nostalgia, and rarity often play unpredictable roles in shaping a car’s future value. Rather than make promises, it’s best to say that the F-TYPE has all the right ingredients to be remembered as a future classic — a car enthusiasts may one day look back on as the last roar of Jaguar’s combustion era.

Why the Jaguar F-TYPE Still Matters Today

Even without the lens of collectibility, the F-TYPE remains one of the most captivating sports cars of the modern era. Its striking design, thrilling driving dynamics, and unmistakable exhaust note make it a standout among contemporary performance cars. For those who love the visceral experience of a V8 engine paired with elegant British craftsmanship, the F-TYPE offers something unique that future electric sports cars simply won’t replicate.

And while production has come to a close, there is still a chance to own a defining piece of Jaguar history.
