Jaguar will become a 100% electric premium brand by 2025. As a result, starting with the F-Type sports car, all of Jaguar's ICE-powered vehicles will no longer be available. To bid adieu to the F-type, Jaguar has globally unveiled the new and final iteration of the sports car – the F-Type ZP Edition, a racing-inspired model. The F-Type's last generation and Jaguar's final combustion-powered sports car will be available in Coupe and Convertible body styles and will have a production run of just 150 units. Further, the new Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition will be based on the F-Type R P575. The coupe and convertible F-Type ZP Editions are inspired by two 1960s racing E-Types. While there is no update regarding its pricing as yet, the company is expected to shortly announce the pricing of its final ICE-powered sports car.

As mentioned, the new limited-production run model is inspired by the race-winning E-types produced under Project ZP in 1961 and, therefore, possesses an array of unique external and internal design characteristics. It is available in Coupe and Convertible body forms and two paint schemes based on Project ZP E-types: Oulton Blue with a Mars Red and Ebony leather inside and Crystal Grey with a Navy Blue and Ebony leather interior.
The new edition also includes hand-painted porcelain white gloss racing-style roundels on the doors and porcelain white gloss front grille surrounds. Other aesthetic highlights include gloss black wing mirrors and brake callipers, ZP Edition marking on the fenders, sill plates, Horizontal seat fluting, and a 'One of 150' SV Bespoke commissioning plaque. The new edition will get the Gloss Black Diamond Turned 20-inch forged alloy wheels.
