Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60
The 2021 F-Type a number of cues inspired by the legendary E-Type, which celebrates its sixteenth birthday in 2021. And while it is easy to home in on the gorgeous Sherwood Green paint job or the E-Type badging, this F-Type will stand out not for how it looks, but for how rare it is. Jaguar is only building 60 examples, and if that is not enough, Jaguar Land Rovers SV Bespoke team is building each car, available as either a hardtop coupe or a soft top convertible, by hand.
SV Bespoke's work includes the aforementioned Sherwood Green paint, a color that has not appeared in Jaguar's palette since the 1960s, it is to Jaguar as Guardsman Blue is to the Ford Mustang and Rosso Corsa is to Ferrari. The limited-edition cars sit on exclusive gloss-black 20-inch wheels and have gloss-black and chrome accents and black brake calipers.
The F-Type Heritage 60 is an understated tribute to the classic E-Type. Its powertrain, however, is the opposite of understated – each example features the F-Type R’s supercharged 5.0-liter V8. This raucous powerplant, good for 575 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, hurls the two-seater to 60 in a brisk 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 186 miles per hour. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive system, it’s fair to say that performance is one area the F-Type will eclipse the E.
Jaguar has not announced pricing for this rare take on the F-Type. Considering the limited production run and the hand built nature.
