Say Goodbye to Jaguar Combustion Sports Cars with 2024 F-Type ZP Edition
The Jaguar F-Type is scheduled to end production after the 2024 model year.
Jaguar is planning on building 150 of these ZP Edition F-Types over the 2024 model year.
Jaguar plans to shift to a battery-electric brand by 2025.
It looks like Jaguar is sending off more than just the F-Type in 2024. The company is building 150 examples of a special F-Type model to celebrate the end of its entire combustion-powered sports car run. Dubbed the F-Type ZP Edition, this limited-production Jaguar is based on the 575-hp P575 models but has a few interesting additions to help set it off.
While all of these changes are superficial, they are interesting. These short-run F-Type models are available in what Jaguar calls crystal grey and Oulton blue.
Joining these special colors is a set of hand-painted circles on the door that emulate the spot for numbers on a race car. These F-Type ZP Edition cars also see a special interior with a contrasting color to the paint finish, wheels, and a plaque noting that this is one of 150 cars.
What sounds like an odd name starts making sense when you put it into Jaguar’s historical context. This special F-Type’s name comes from the early E-Type race cars that Jaguar referred to as Project ZP.
In addition to these last-edition F-Types, Jaguar Classic is also building recreations of the early-edition E-Type racers for those with the means to afford them.
Jaguar hasn’t revealed the pricing for these F-Type ZP Edition cars, or global allocation, but you can imagine they’re not going to be any more affordable than the $114,275 that an F-Type P575 costs currently.
A safe assumption would be to see a minor bump in that price considering the lower volume of this special edition. Still, this is a fitting send-off. Only executives inside Jaguar know what’s coming to replace it.
