Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition

Jaguar will soon end the production of sports cars powered by an internal combustion engine, and to end a long story, the British manufacturer has presented a limited edition of the F-Type sports model, the Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition.

The car will be offered with two special body colors (blue and gray) with which Jaguar once again pays tribute to the legendary E-Type, which is still considered one of the most beautiful cars of all time. A total of 150 examples of the F-Type ZP Edition will be produced in both Coupé and Cabriolet body styles.

Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition will be powered by a 5.0L V8 engine with 575 hp (423 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. It is mounted on specially made 20-inch aluminum wheels.

Each car will have plates (One of 150) placed on the lower part of the fenders, door sills and in the cabin, which is lined with premium materials.

When it comes to price, it is currently unknown how much this limited edition will cost.

1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster is up for auction

In 1961, Jaguar presented a car with a combination of aesthetics, high performance, but also an affordable price, the Jaguar E-Type (Jaguar XK-E for the North American market). It was produced until 1974 in three Series and three versions (FHC, OTS and 2+2), with a total production of 38,419 units. One car from Series I, the 1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster is up for auction.

This Jaguar XKE Series I is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six engine with factory output of 265 hp (195 KW) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque @ 4000 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. In 2020, the engine was overhauled which included replacement water pump assembly, exhaust manifolds, main rod bearings, and timing chains, valves, guides, Mahle 9.0:1-compression pistons, and installation of replacement bearings, seals, gaskets, and synchro rings in gearbox. It sits on chrome 15″ wire wheels wrapped in 185-width Michelin XVS wide-whitewall tires.

Three years ago the car was renovated and repainted in Opalescent Silver Grey. It has been well maintained and is in good condition. It is equipped with a dark blue soft top with a matching boot, recessed headlights with clear covers, split chrome-finished bumpers, a louvered forward-hinged hood, triple windshield wipers, and taillights mounted above the rear bumpers. During the renovation, the windshield was replaced, the decorative parts were re-chromed, various components of the fully independent suspension were powder-coated, the shock absorbers were replaced, the brakes were overhauled, and the master cylinder, rotor and plates were replaced.

Inside, the low-back bucket seats are trimmed in dark blue leather that also covers the door panels and center console. In front of the driver is a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 87,519 miles. Additional equipment includes a sliding rear-view mirror and a Becker Europa TR radio.

The car comes with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, refurbishment photos, partial service records, car show awards, and a clean New Jersey title.

The auction ends on October 6 and the current highest bid is $140,000 USD.

Jaguar will use Tesla Supercharger stations

A large number of electric cars requires solving the issue of fast charging stations, and Tesla is a leader in that field, as it recently installed its 50,000th Supercharger in California. They will be used by all brands whose cars have adopted the NACS charging standard, such as Honda, which has already done so, and from now on, Jaguar.

From 2025, all Jaguar electric cars will adopt the NACS charging standard developed by Tesla, but will only use charging stations in North America. Jaguar has announced the launch of three new SUV models, which will go on sale from 2025. Also, Jaguar says that buyers of the current I-Pace, a model that will end its life by mid-2025, will receive a special adapter so that the car can be powered at the Tesla Supercharger. That will happen already next year.

A large number of Supercharger stations attracts other car manufacturers to accept the NACS standard, and the British brand Land Rover is one of them. The British car manufacturer announced that its new electric cars will be equipped with technology that will allow charging at Suercharger stations.
