Jaguar invites car enthusiasts and collectors in South Africa to seize a rare opportunity to own one of just two uniquely crafted F-TYPE ZP Editions, drawing inspiration from the legendary 1960s racing E-TYPES. This collector’s gem marks the end of an era as one of the final internal combustion-engine sports cars from Jaguar, boasting a robust 423kW supercharged V8 engine, curated by the customization specialists at SV Bespoke.
This limited release of only 150 F-TYPE ZP Editions signifies a pivotal moment in Jaguar’s history, transitioning towards a future of luxury electric vehicles after over 75 years of traditional sports car production. According to Janico Dannhauser, Product and Pricing Manager at JLR South Africa, “The F-TYPE is set to become a future classic, mirroring the legendary status of its predecessor, the E-TYPE, known for its exceptional design and performance.”
Reflecting on Jaguar’s rich racing legacy in South Africa, the F-TYPE ZP Edition honors the remarkable achievements of Peter Sutcliffe’s E-TYPE in the historic Springbok Series races. Available in both Coupé and Convertible forms, the vehicle delivers staggering performance metrics: a 0-100km/h sprint in just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h, thanks to its all-wheel drive system equipped with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics.
The aesthetic of the F-TYPE ZP Edition is equally impressive, featuring bespoke interiors with horizontal seat fluting, and striking Gloss Black accents on the exterior, including brake callipers and Diamond Turned 20-inch forged alloy wheels. Each vehicle proudly displays exclusive branding and a ‘One of 150’ SV Bespoke plaque, underscoring its limited-edition status.
Since its debut in South Africa in 2014, the Jaguar F-TYPE has been a coveted model among car enthusiasts, known for its engaging driving experience and distinctive V8 engine sound, which has even been archived by the British Library.
Dannhauser adds, “As Jaguar approaches a major brand transformation to all-electric models, these limited editions will not only be prized for their collectability but are also designed to thrive on the open road, capturing the essence of Jaguar’s spirited driving experience.”
