About F-Type

The F-Type arrived in 2013 with an impossible task: to be the spiritual successor to the E-Type, often called the most beautiful car ever made. It didn't quite reach that bar, nothing could, but it came closer than many expected. Launched first as a convertible and followed in 2014 by a coupe, it was a two-seat sports car with taut, muscular proportions, a cabin wrapped around the driver and a choice of supercharged V6 and V8 engines.

What people remember most is the noise. The F-Type's exhaust crackled, popped and roared on the overrun, a soundtrack so theatrical that it became a calling card for the car and for Jaguar's performance division. The SVR version pushed the V8 to supercar territory, and later a four-cylinder model broadened the appeal. Reviewers loved the looks and the drama; some criticized the cramped cabin, small trunk and the car's weight compared with lighter rivals such as the Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster.

The F-Type was updated over its life with all-wheel drive, a facelift in 2019 that gave it slimmer headlights, and finally the 75 special edition, celebrating Jaguar's long tradition of sports cars, before production ended in 2024. Its departure left Jaguar without a sports car as the brand switched to electric power, and many fans consider it the last real Jaguar in the traditional sense. Its rivals included the Porsche 911, Mercedes-AMG GT, BMW M8 and Chevrolet Corvette.

Today the F-Type lives on in the used market, where it has become a tempting buy for enthusiasts who want a characterful sports car at a fraction of its original price. The coverage collected here includes used-car reviews and buyer's guides, auction results, special and final editions, maintenance and recall notices, and news about what, if anything, might eventually replace it in Jaguar's new electric world. For many enthusiasts, a well-kept V8 example is the one to find, and the one they will keep.
