Jaguar’s F-TYPE ZP Edition takes the chequered flag
Jaguar is commemorating the end of its F-TYPE lineage this year with an exclusive limited-edition inspired by two iconic 1960s racing E-Types.
After more than 75 years of internal combustion sports car production, Jaguar is moving closer to becoming a modern all-electric brand.
The iconic 1960s racing Jaguar E-types are the inspiration for the final limited edition 575PS supercharged petrol V8 F-TYPEs, with just 150 examples to be created during the final year of production in 2024.
Two exclusive specially curated specifications, in Oulton Blue or Crystal Grey with contrasting interiors, mirror the limited edition E-type ZP Collection from Jaguar Classic SV. Enhancements come from exterior details by the personalisation experts at SV Bespoke, including unique interiors, wheel finish, hand painted racing style door roundels F-TYPE ZP branding and a ‘One of 150’ commissioning plate.
“As Jaguar embarks on the boldest transformation in its history to become a modern luxury all-electric brand from 2025, this is an unrepeatable celebration of Jaguar’s internal combustion sports car provenance,” says Rawdon Glover, managing director, Jaguar.
“F-TYPE has captivated sports car drivers for more than a decade, just as the E-type did five decades before it. The ZP Edition is the ultimate celebration of that lineage, joining an illustrious roster of heritage-inspired collector’s editions, including the 2015 Project 7 and 2020 Heritage 60 Edition.”
Unique colourways
Two F-TYPE ZP Edition colourways are available, recalling the first race-winning ‘Project ZP’ E-types campaigned shortly after the model’s launch in 1961: Oulton Blue gloss paint with Mars Red and Ebony duotone leather interior, or Crystal Grey gloss paint with Navy Blue and Ebony duotone leather interior.
Both feature Porcelain White gloss hand-painted racing-style roundels on the doors and Porcelain White gloss grille surrounds.
Neither exterior paint colour has been offered on F-TYPE before. These colours match the two specially formulated paints created for seven pairs of E-type Project ZP Collection cars announced by Jaguar Classic earlier this year.
Unique interiors with horizontal seat fluting, plus gloss black exterior accents and gloss black brake calipers, complement exclusive F-TYPE ZP Edition branding details on the fenders, gloss black diamond turned 20-inch forged alloy wheels, tread plates and dashboard.
Distinctive designs
Ever since earning accolades, including 2013 World Car Design of the Year, F-TYPE has continued to set the benchmark for truly involving, engaging, driver-focused sports cars, with a distinctive V8 soundtrack.
The exhaust note is so iconic; it is archived in institutions, including the British Library.
The F-TYPE ZP Edition is available in both coupé and convertible body styles. With 575PS, 700Nm of torque and an all-wheel drive system with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) technology, performance is exceptional on all surfaces and in all weathers: 0-60mph takes as little as 3.5 seconds, while top speed is an electronically limited 186mph.
