Jaguar’s classic sports car is a hit. Eight, to be precise.
The British automaker has revealed the last V8-powered sports car it will produce before going all-electric in 2025.
The 2024 F-Type 75 also marks the model’s 10th anniversary and the 75th anniversary of Jaguar’s first production sports car, the 1949 XK120.

Jaguar joined Dodge in eliminating the V8 engine from its lineup. The American muscle car brand will cease production of the current Challenger and Charger models in late 2024, replacing them with the all-electric Charger Datona SRT.
