Jaguar F-Type Reims Edition is UK-only special edition
French Racing Blue paint and added equipment for motorsport heritage-inspired coupé
The F-Type sports coupé is the second Jaguar model to be made available in Reims Edition trim, which pays homage to the French race circuit where the legendary D-Type claimed its first victory.
Just 150 examples of the F-Type Reims Edition will be built, and all are destined for UK dealerships. It's available to order now, priced from £58,950 in P300 four-cylinder guise and £71,450 for the V8-powered P450. Customer deliveries are set to get under way in March.
Like the similarly conceived XE Reims Edition saloon revealed in 2019, the F-Type is finished in French Racing Blue and comes as standard with the Exterior Black Pack, which brings contrasting side vents, badges and 20in five-spoke alloy wheels.
The cabin is finished throughout in black, with optional equipment including a panoramic sunroof, heated seats and dual-zone climate control coming as standard. Jaguar claims the standard kit list for the Reims Edition represents a saving of up to £4160.

Jaguar F-Type review: Heritage 60 Edition driven
So it’s flawed for a £122k car…
Without doubt. Objective judgement isn’t especially kind to the Heritage 60, but then it’s almost certainly not going to be an objective purchase. Eight years on, this remains a car with stunning proportions, and they’re arguably only flattered further by this limited-edition colour scheme.
Choose an F-Type over its myriad rivals – it’s knocking on for 911 Turbo money in this guise – and you’re already making a conscious decision to eschew raw talent for roguish character. But the fact you’re still able to make that choice, and that the F-Type’s dynamics are the best they’ve ever been beneath it all, is something to celebrate.
Score: 7/10
5.0-litre supercharged V8, 567bhp, 516lb ft
0-62mph in 3.7secs, 186mph top speed (limited)
25.6mpg, 252g/km CO2

Jaguar F-Type review: Heritage 60 Edition driven Reviews 2023 | Top Gear
Well, that’s green…Sherwood Green, to be precise. Jaguar hasn’t offered it since the 1960s, when it was lovingly brushed onto the E-Type – the car its return is meant to celebrate. This is the Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60 Edition, and it marks six decades since Jag’s most iconic car launched.Is...

Driven | Jaguar F-Type R P575 AWD
Jaguar did a fantastic job of making the F-Type R more than comfortable enough to be used as a daily driver and furious enough to take to your local track day.
It is a tantalizing proposition that is comfortable, stylish, unconventional, and has an amazing exhaust note but buyers, especially those in South Africa, will have to be die-hard Jaguar fans to part with this sort of money over something just as capable for a fair chunk of change less.
If money was no object, this would without a doubt be added to the garage as the soundtrack alone is worth the dollar. This is a breed that is dying quickly and with Jaguar committing to an all-electric future, we may never get something as raucous as this ever again.

Jaguar SA adds 331 kW “P450” V8 engine option to F-type range
Jaguar South Africa has expanded its supercharged V8 offering for its halo sportscar, the F-Type. Badged as the P450, it will sit alongside the current 423 kW P575 (the same engine with a different state of tune) as an entry-level point for the eight-cylinder driven derivatives.
The P450, as the name suggests, delivers 331 kW and 580 N.m of torque. It can be had as a coupe or convertible with rear- or all-wheel drive. All models make use of the eight-speed automatic transmission and both powertrains feature an electronic active rear differential and claim a 0-100km/h time of 4,6 seconds with a top speed of 285 km/h.
To celebrate the arrival, a special P450 R-Dynamic Black model will be available from launch. This exclusive addition to the line-up will offer an enhanced specification and a more luxurious crafted interior.

New Jaguar F-Type R-Dynamic Black brings bespoke design
Visual tweaks and extensive standard equipment for coupé and convertible sports car
Jaguar has expanded its F-Type line-up with a new R-Dynamic Black trim level, bringing visual upgrades and a higher standard specification to both coupé and convertible versions of the two-seater sports car.
Available for both four-cylinder and V8-powered versions of the F-Type, R-Dynamic Black cars start from £64,495 and gain the previously optional Black Exterior pack as standard. This exchanges all silver trim for black versions, and includes bespoke 20in gloss black alloy wheels that aren't available anywhere else in the range. Three paint colours are offered: Santorini Black, Eiger Grey and Firenze Red.
Interior additions include a suede headliner and matching suede instrument cluster, a choice of ebony or Mars-coloured leather, and 12-way electrically adjustable sports seats as standard.
R-Dynamic Black cars are mechanically identical to the existing F-Type line-up. The entry-level car's four-cylinder Ingenium engine produces 296bhp and is exclusively available in rear-wheel-drive form, while the 5.0-litre V8 model has 444bhp and can be had in either rear- or all-wheel drive. The supercharged F-Type R is all-wheel drive only, producing 567bhp and promising 0-60mph in 3.5sec.

Feel Free To Cringe While Watching A Jag Roll Off A Trailer, Into A Truck, Which Rolls Into A GTR
I suspect everyone watching this is likely to make that same scrunched-up, one-eye-squinting, sympathetic ouch face; I know I did. Someone hunted around for a hard-to-find manual Jaguar F-type, only to have it roll off the car transport trailer, into a Chevy pickup, which subsequently rolled into a Nissan GTR. Ouch.
This was posted to Reddit’s ThatLookedExpensive subreddit, and, gotta admit, that title feels pretty accurate. Though, to be fair, none of the damage looks unrepairable, and I suppose this could have gone far worse if there were no cars on the hill, and the Jag continued down, picking up more and more speed.

Jaguar F-Type P450 Convertible 2022 UK review
Should I buy one?
The P450 Convertible is arguably the F-Type at its best: rear driven, with more than enough power, an electrifying exhaust note and an almost languid effortlessness that suits roof-down touring. It’s good value, too. Horsepower for horsepower, the comparable 911 costs £110,000 to the Jaguar’s £74,015.
Less competent than some, then, but with an easy-going, old-fashioned charm that still makes it an attractive option.
