The Jaguar F-Type (X152) is a series of two-door, two-seater grand tourers manufactured by British car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover under their Jaguar Cars marque since 2013.[3] The car's JLR D6a platform is based on a shortened version of the XK's platform.[3] It is the so-called "spiritual successor" to the E-Type.[4]
The car was launched initially as a 2-door soft-top convertible, with a 2-door fastback coupé version launched in 2013.[5] The F-Type underwent a facelift for the 2021 model year. It was unveiled in December 2019, featuring a significantly restyled front end and dashboard, and simplified drivetrain options.[6][7] Jaguar announced that the F-Type will be discontinued after the 2024 model year.[8] Production ended in June 2024, by which time 87,731 examples had been built.[9]
Fortunately, the venerated E-type's long-overdue successor looks damn good, too, courtesy of design legend Ian Callum.
