Jaguar’s Special F-Type Marks the End of 75 Years of ICE Sports Cars

Jaguar is bidding farewell to its iconic F-Type model with the limited edition Type ZP, marking the end of 75 years of combustion-engined Jaguar sports cars. Inspired by the ‘Project ZP’ E-Types that raced at Le Mans in the 1960s, this special edition will be offered as both a coupé and a convertible.

Only 150 units of this final edition will be sold worldwide, with 10 reserved exclusively for UK customers.

The Type ZP will join the F-Type 75, which was unveiled last year, for its last year of production. Both versions come with unique features that set them apart from the standard model, which now only comes with a 296bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. The special editions offer a choice of a 444bhp or a 567bhp supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine.

All three engines will be retired next year as Jaguar prepares to reinvent itself as a fully electric luxury brand by 2025. The F-Type will be joined in retirement by the XE, XF, E-Pace, and F-Pace models.

One of the standout features of the Type ZP edition is the hand-painted white racing roundel on each door, paying homage to the Le Mans racers. Additionally, two color options are available, both inspired by the Le Mans racers. One features gloss blue paint with red-and-black leather upholstery, while the other offers gloss grey paint with blue-and-brown leather upholstery.

Both color variations include gloss white grille surrounds to match the roundels on the doors, which contrast with the gloss black brake calipers and exterior trim pieces. ‘ZP Edition’ badges can be found on the front wheel arches.

2024 Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition Marks End Of Company’s ICE Sport Cars

The 2024 Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition will be the last Jaguar sports car with an internal combustion engine. This limited-production model comes in a coupe or convertible body style and features an enhanced appearance package by Jaguar’s SV Bespoke group. The exterior is available in two color options: Oulton Blue Gloss or Crystal Grey Gloss. The blue option comes with a red and black two-tone interior, while the gray option has a blue and black interior, both of which have never been offered on the F-Type before.

The F-Type ZP Edition showcases hand-painted roundels on the doors and white grille surrounds, paying homage to the E-Type race cars from the 1960s. It rides on 20-inch wheels with black inserts and includes black interior trim. Special badging is placed on the fenders, door sills, and dashboard, along with a unique plaque indicating the production number out of the 150 units being built.

Under the hood, the F-Type ZP Edition shares the same mechanicals as the F-Type R in P575 trim. This means it is equipped with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, allowing the F-Type R to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
