Celebrating 90 Years of Jaguar with the F-PACE 90th Anniversary Edition
May 22 2024,
As Jaguar approaches its 90th anniversary, the iconic British automaker is commemorating nearly a century of pioneering design, performance, and innovation with a special edition of one of its most successful models - the F-PACE luxury performance SUV.
The F-PACE 90th Anniversary Edition pays homage to Jaguar's storied history while looking ahead to an all-electric future. Based on the sleek R-Dynamic variant, this limited-run model features unique badging and distinctive exterior touches that set it apart.
Elevating Luxury and Performance
At its core, the F-PACE embodies Jaguar's reputation for blending head-turning style with exhilarating dynamics. The 90th Anniversary Edition builds on that winning formula with available enhancements like diamond-turned alloy wheels, privacy glass, a panoramic roof, and the advanced 3D Surround Camera system.
Step inside, and you're greeted by an interior befitting Jaguar's luxury pedigree. Supportive sports seats with contrast stitching, an ebony headliner, and aluminum trim accents create an environment that's both upscale and driver-focused. Buyers can choose from S, SE, and HSE trim levels, with the option of efficient mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Power and Innovation
The plug-in hybrid, in particular, showcases Jaguar's innovative spirit, delivering up to 40 miles of electric-only driving range and the ability to recharge from 0-80% in as little as 30 minutes using a DC fast charger. It's a glimpse into Jaguar's sustainable future as the brand transitions to an all-electric lineup by 2025.
For those seeking uncompromised performance, the F-PACE SVR 575 Edition takes things to the next level. Powered by a ferocious 5.0-litre supercharged V8, this range-topping variant cranks out a staggering 575 horsepower – making it the most potent F-PACE ever produced.
With 700 lb-ft of torque on tap, the SVR 575 can rocket from 0-60 mph in a blistering 3.8 seconds. Its aggressive exterior styling, complete with a performance-optimized front bumper, black accents, and 22-inch forged alloy wheels, leaves no doubt as to its capabilities.
A Celebration of Legacy and Future
Yet the SVR 575 isn't just about straight-line speed; it's a celebration of the internal combustion engine in its purest form. A Variable Valve Active Exhaust system ensures this super-SUV sounds every bit as exhilarating as its performance suggests.
The F-PACE was Jaguar's first-ever SUV when it debuted in 2016, and it has proven to be one of the brand's biggest hits, with over 328,000 examples built at the company's Solihull production facility. As Rawdon Glover, Managing Director of Jaguar, notes, "F-PACE has given new clients to the brand a choice of models...With its inherent quality and design leadership, it has delighted our clients globally."
With the 90th Anniversary Edition, Jaguar is bidding a fitting farewell to the F-PACE and the internal combustion engine that has powered its vehicles for nine decades. As the brand embarks on an all-electric future, this celebratory model serves as a reminder of Jaguar's innovative spirit and unwavering commitment to delivering vehicles that inspire desire and capture the imagination.
