Mar 25, 2024
The Jaguar F-TYPE is the epitome of Jaguar's luxury sports car, with a rich racing pedigree spanning 75 years, including some of the most iconic models in history.
Whether it is the Coupé hardtop or the Convertible open-top model, the F-TYPE strikes a perfect balance between performance and driving pleasure. It boasts a muscular and confident exterior design and is crafted inside with luxurious materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and intricate details.
In 2023, as the last model year for the Jaguar F-TYPE, the new model has become more simple and pure, making it easier for customers to choose their perfect F-TYPE. The exterior of this model is also more confident than ever, with standard 20-inch wheels, including a change from red to black for the emblem colors on the wheel hub caps and front grille shield. The key colors for the "R" and "R-Dynamic" emblems have also been updated to black and grey from the previous red and green color combination.
The Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 commemorates the final model year of the Jaguar F-TYPE and the 75th anniversary of Jaguar sports cars with unique interior and exterior design elements, carefully selected features, and a 5.0L V8 supercharged engine. The Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 is a fitting celebration of the internal combustion era and performance before Jaguar transitions to a fully electric modern luxury brand in 2025.
The exterior design of the Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 still exudes great tension and represents the luxury car heritage of Jaguar, dating back 75 years. This front-engine, two-seater sports car uses lightweight and robust aluminum alloy to create its body structure, and its perfectly proportioned appearance makes it instantly recognizable. Its focused and confident style stems from Jaguar's rich sports car design heritage, beginning with the introduction of the XK120 in 1948 - the fastest production car in the world at that time.
Standard sharp J Blade LED daytime running lights, resembling calligraphy-like "J" shaped DRLs and dynamic turn signal lights, highlight the visual width of the vehicle and suggest its performance potential. They seamlessly integrate into the "liquid metal" surface of the hood; the elegantly extending shape is inspired by classic car models such as C-TYPE and D-TYPE.
The discreet emblem on the front fender of the Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 depicts the unmistakable outline of the F-TYPE. The muscular lines at the rear of the vehicle enhance the innate dynamism and performance of the Jaguar F-TYPE, while the elongated LED taillights extend to the sides, featuring design elements reminiscent of the curbs found on racing circuits. The exhaust pipes are arranged within the rear diffuser, and the Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 exhaust tailpipes are configured with dual outlets on each side, with the "R" emblem engraved on them. The car comes standard with 20-inch ten-spoke glossy black with diamond turned alloy wheels, showcasing the strong performance atmosphere of the F-TYPE.
The Jaguar F-TYPE's driver-oriented interior design purely embodies the elegance and performance of the vehicle. Combined with Jaguar's craftsmanship, exquisite details, and rich finishing materials, it provides a higher level of luxury and sportiness.
Standard high-performance sports car seats, combining ergonomic design with superior comfort and equipped with heating and ventilation functions. The seat surface is covered with Windsor leather, adding a touch of luxury, complemented by carefully crafted stitching and a leaping jaguar motif on the headrest. The standard full leather interior upgrade package further enhances the luxurious atmosphere inside.
Comprehensive chassis upgrade, creating exclusive driving pleasure.
The Jaguar F-TYPE continues to set a true captivating, driver-oriented performance car benchmark. The double wishbone front and rear suspension structure, meticulously calibrated Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) and Torque Vectoring by Braking system create exceptional agility and a truly connected driving atmosphere. These traits are fundamental elements that enable the Jaguar F-TYPE to provide immediate and intuitive dynamic feedback to every handling command.
The front lower control arm suspension, made using a lightweight and sturdy aluminum alloy forging and casting process, is combined with stable rod connection components and spring density ratios and advanced damping devices. The chassis of the Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 is further enhanced, allowing for precise control of the tire contact area and more consistent steering feedback. In addition, equipped with an electronic active differential (EAD), it further optimizes the vehicle's traction.
By using the intelligent four-wheel drive system (IDD) and intelligent torque distribution system, it further enhances traction and dynamic performance on different road surfaces and in all weather conditions, while retaining the unique rear-wheel drive characteristics and handling balance of the Jaguar F-TYPE.
The Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 is equipped with an Adaptive Dynamics active electronic suspension system, featuring adjustable dynamic functions. Using electronically controlled continuously variable dampers, it optimizes low-speed comfort and high-speed control. Meanwhile, the Configurable Dynamics allows drivers to adjust suspension stiffness, steering wheel feedback, throttle response, and shift response, customizing the car's performance to their preferences.
Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 comes with exclusive 20-inch ten-spoke glossy black diamond-painted wheels as standard, with the option to choose from three other exclusive R 75 wheels. As the performance flagship of the F-TYPE series, the R 75 model is equipped with Pirelli's high-performance P Zero tires, with front 265/35/ZR20 and rear 305/30/ZR20 specifications developed specifically for performance cars, ensuring excellent grip at all times with a wider tread.
Optional carbon fiber ceramic brake kit upgrade, paired with front six and rear four piston calipers and front 398mm and rear 380mm brake discs, providing unique characteristics and excellent braking performance. The unique yellow paint on the calipers also boasts excellent anti-fading effects.
Carrying powerful force, a unique leopard-style roar
The Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 is equipped with a 5.0L V8 supercharged engine, paired with an eight-speed Quickshift transmission, allowing for full manual control using the SportShift gear lever or the shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. All engines are produced at JLR's engine manufacturing center in the UK.
The Jaguar F-TYPE R 75 was born to provide truly exceptional performance in various climate conditions and on any type of road. Equipped with a four-wheel drive system, its supercharged V8 engine delivers 575PS and an astonishing 700Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and reaching a top electronic speed of 300km/h.
Standard interchangeable active exhaust system, the unique exhaust sound of Jaguar F-TYPE during deceleration is still present and carefully tuned. The efficient particulate filter helps reduce emissions. Benefiting from the Quiet Start function, it ensures a more subtle, elegant starting sound, with the electric valve in the rear silencer remaining closed until it automatically opens under load, releasing the distinctive roar that has always been a signature of the Jaguar F-TYPE driving experience. Quiet Start can be canceled by selecting Dynamic Mode or pressing the exhaust valve button before starting the engine.
In 2023, it is the 75th anniversary of Jaguar sports cars, which is an important moment in the development history of Jaguar. At the same time, it proudly moves towards the future of 2025 as a pure electric luxury car brand.
