Jaguar F-Type enters final year of production, with enhancements and new edition
With Jaguar planning to reinvent itself as a purely electric brand from 2025, we’ll soon be saying goodbye to the British brand’s internal combustion models, and the first to have a goodbye party is the Jaguar F-Type.
The final production year for the two-door sports car line-up will be 2023, and to give it an appropriate send-off, Jaguar has bolstered the specification for the MY23 models and introduced a new special edition model that also celebrates the company’s 75th anniversary.
Jaguar South Africa says the first deliveries of the subtly enhanced range will commence in January 2023, with pricing and to be confirmed nearer to the time.
Jaguar says the MY23 line-up has become “simpler and more focused”. Twenty-inch alloy wheels are standard on all models, and there are subtle changes to the badging.
As mentioned, Jaguar is also introducing a pair of special editions called the F-Type 75 and R 75, which will be available in coupé and convertible formats.
