2025 Jaguar F-Type 90th Anniversary Edition

The day is nearing when Jaguar will stop offering cars with an internal combustion engine and step into an electric future. The F-Type 90th Anniversary Edition represents nine decades of innovation and internal combustion engine production, and a farewell to the F-Pace model.

The F-Pace goes down in history this year, but it will be remembered as Jaguar’s first crossover and one of its most successful models. Since it appeared in 2015, the P-Pace has been produced in more than 328,000 units.

The car is equipped with R-Dynamic design details, a special set of diamond rims and a panoramic glass roof. The interior is equipped with sports seats, contrast stitching, aluminum trim and an ebony ceiling. Also, the offer will include different equipment packages and different engines, including four-cylinder and six-cylinder diesel engines. Customers will also be able to get a plug-in hybrid version with an electric range of 64 kilometers.

The top of the range is the F-Type SVR 575 Edition which is powered by a 5.0-L V8 engine with 575 hp (429 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, which is 25 hp more than the standard model. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 4 seconds. It is equipped with black details and 22-inch forged alloy wheels with Diamond Turned finish. The interior is decorated with aluminum details, Windsor leather and sports heated/ventilated seats.

Queen Elizabeth’s 2001 Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB is for sale

Her Highness Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning monarch in the history of the United Kingdom. She passed away in 2022 at the age of 96. Everything related to her and the royal family is considered collectible. She has owned several cars and one of them, a 2001 Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB is for sale.

At the end of 2023, a 2004 Range Rover from the collection of Queen Elizabeth II was sold at auction, and now the Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB is looking for a new owner. The car was used as the Queen’s personal transport between 2001 and 2006. It is finished in British Racing Green and is in excellent condition, which is no surprise since it was kept in a temperature-controlled garage as part of their impressive private collection. It should be noted that there is part of the red pinstriping missing and that there is a small dent on the front passenger door and rear wing.

The luxurious interior is decorated with catkin beige leather with the green stitching combined with green carpet, wooden fold down picnic tables on the backs of the front seats, lambs wool mats, and a Jaguar/Motorola car phone in the arm rest. In the place where the ashtray would have been, there are now a James Bondesque bank of control buttons for the flashing blue strobe lights, alternating flashing headlights and special blue identification lights below the rear view mirror. British Racing Green leather also covers the dashboard, and there is a silver plaque stating that the car was specially built for HH Queen Elizabeth II.

This Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB is powered by a 4.0-L V8 engine with 280 bhp, paired with a 5-speed automatic gearbox. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in around 7 seconds with a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). The odometer shows 26,000 kilometers.

The auction ends on April 29 and the highest bid at the time of writing was £40,250 GBP.

Nissan and JLR Group will use Formula E technology

The use of racing car technology in road legal cars is nothing new, but many manufacturers are choosing this way to increase the performance of their new electric models. One of them is Nissan and the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Group, which, using the experience from their Formula E teams, are trying to keep up with the growing competition in the electric vehicle segment.

Formula E is ideal for the development of electric mobility, and it should be noted that Formula E cars start each race with only 60% battery capacity, and the rest must be generated by braking. This forces manufacturers to develop more efficient systems and better software to improve performance and autonomy.

The Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Group is investing £15 billion in the production of electric vehicles, and will use silicon carbide inverter technology. This solution was primarily developed for their Formula E cars, but will also be used to improve efficiency in future premium electric models. JLR has already used the knowledge gained from managing battery temperatures to improve the range of the Jaguar I-Pace by 20 kilometers.

Nissan also plans to produce 19 all-electric models over the next two years, and Nissan Formula E team boss Tommaso Volpe said their race car’s software was originally based on that of the Nissan Leaf.
