Farewell to the V8: Jaguar Ends an Era with Final F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition

Leave a comment

In a symbolic and emotional farewell to a defining chapter in its performance legacy, Jaguar is officially retiring its iconic V8 engine. As the British marque turns a new page toward electrification, its last hurrah for the mighty eight-cylinder will come in the form of the F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition—a special, limited-production SUV destined exclusively for Australia.

The move marks the end of an era for Jaguar, whose deep ties to performance V8s span over 15 years. This transition is no surprise. Electrification has been steadily steering the brand away from traditional combustion engines, with the upcoming Type 00 electric grand tourer acting as a symbol of this bold new direction. But before fully embracing the future, Jaguar is giving its V8 a proper send-off—complete with power, exclusivity, and no small measure of nostalgia.

A Nod to Mad Max

The phrase “the last V8” might evoke scenes from George Miller’s dystopian Mad Max, where muscle cars ruled the wasteland. And while the movie’s supercharged Ford Falcon was fictional, Jaguar’s final V8 is very much the real deal.

The F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition is powered by Jaguar’s 5.0-liter supercharged V8, delivering an exhilarating 575 horsepower. It launches from 0 to 100 km/h in just four seconds and can reach a top speed of 286 km/h—performance numbers that ensure the V8 goes out with a bang, not a whisper.

An Australian Exclusive

In a move that echoes its cinematic inspiration, Jaguar has chosen Australia—the land of the kangaroos and, coincidentally, Mad Max’s home turf—as the exclusive market for this final V8 edition. Only 60 units of the F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition will be produced, each priced at 182,235 Australian dollars (around €103,000).

The vehicle will be available in four distinct color options: Sorrento Yellow, British Racing Green Gloss, Icy White Gloss, and Ligurian Black Satin. A Black Exterior Pack, 22-inch wheels, black roof rails, and Ultimate Edition badging round out the aggressive visual enhancements.

Inside, the SUV is equally performance-focused, featuring Ebony semi-synthetic leather sports seats and carbon fiber trim—a cockpit built for speed with a touch of elegance.

The Road Ahead: Electric Ambitions

With this final combustion-engine performance model, Jaguar closes the chapter on its V8 legacy. The brand is now fully focused on its electric future, previewed by the recent unveiling of the Type 00 concept. Expected to debut as a four-door electric GT later this year, the Type 00 hints at Jaguar’s ambitions to climb into the ultra-luxury stratosphere—directly competing with the likes of Bentley and Maybach.

This strategic pivot is more than a technological shift—it represents a redefinition of Jaguar’s identity in the 21st century.

Jaguar F-Pace retires in 2026

At the 2015 International Motor Show Germany Jaguar revealed a new crossover SUV, the F-Pace, which according to JLR CEO Adrian Madrell has come to an end.

“We analyzed our offer, and five of the six models are going into history at the end of this year. Two are already in the past,” explained Mardell. The Jaguar F-Pace will remain on offer in some countries around the world until the beginning of 2026, but in smaller numbers.

Jaguar has already finished production of the XE, XF and F-Type models at its Castle Bromwich plant this summer, and the E-Pace and I-Pace models will cease production in the next month at the Magna Steyr plant in Austria.

On December 2, a new concept will arrive, which will show the appearance of the brand’s first fully electric car. It will be a four-door GT that is currently in the testing phase, and sales will begin in the summer of 2026. It is followed by luxury SUVs like the Bentley Bentayga and large luxury sedans.
