Jaguar is celebrating 90 years of pioneering design, performance and innovation as it approaches an all-electric future, with a new special edition of one of its most successful vehicles – the F-PACE luxury performance SUV.
Marking the final model of the F-PACE, 90th Anniversary Edition (available exclusively on the D200 R-DYNAMIC SE) features subtle badging, with R-Dynamic exterior cues. Inside, supportive sports seats with contrast stitching, ebony headlining and aluminium interior trim provide luxurious surroundings. The 90th Anniversary Edition comes standard with features that were optional on previous models, including Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, 20″ Gloss Black alloy wheels, Red Brake Calipers, Park Assist, 3D Surround Camera, Front Fog Lights, Meridian™ Surround Sound System, Extended Leather Upgrade, electrically adjustable steering column, Gloss Black roof rails and rear seat remote release levers.
Clients can choose from SE and HSE specifications with a choice of engines – including mild-hybrid and plug-in Electric Hybrid. The latter offers up to 40 miles (64km) (WLTP) of electric-only driving range and fast DC charging capability to top up the battery from 0-80% in as little as 30 minutes.
At the pinnacle of the F-PACE line-up, the SVR 575 Edition is a celebration of the internal combustion engine with its powerful supercharged V8 providing epic performance and – thanks to its Variable Valve Active Exhaust – a soundtrack to match.
The F-PACE SVR has performance at its heart, powered by Jaguar’s characterful 5.0-litre supercharged V8. The SVR 575 Edition, with its power increase of 25PS (18 kW), to 575PS (423 kW), makes it the most powerful F-PACE ever, providing a unique blend of performance and excitement. With 700Nm of torque, it can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3.8 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds).
The SVR 575 Edition benefits from unique SVR bodywork with a performance optimised front bumper, Black Exterior Pack with black grille surround and bonnet louvres, and SVR rear bumper with black detailing. The SVR 575 Edition also features 22-inch forged alloy wheels with Diamond Turned finish and Satin Technical Grey contrast.
Inside, Suede cloth and Windsor leather performance seats – heated and cooled with 14-way electric adjustment – provide tactile comfort, with semi-aniline leather performance seats also available. SVR branding adorns the steering wheel, while the aluminium veneer is unique to SVR models.
Rawdon Glover, Managing Director, Jaguar, said: “F-PACE has given new clients to the brand a choice of models from the efficient plug-in Electric Hybrid to the high-performance F-PACE SVR. With its inherent quality and design leadership, it has delighted our clients globally. As we prepare for an all-electric future, the 90th Anniversary Edition is a fitting tribute to nine decades of pioneering design, performance and innovation.”
Both the F-PACE 90th Anniversary Edition and SVR 575 Edition will be available to order from 16 May 2024 at www.jaguar.co.za.
90 years of Jaguar innovation
Behind the F-PACE 90th Anniversary Edition is a story spanning nine decades (1935 to 2025) of automotive leadership. It occupies a notable place in Jaguar’s heritage as its first ever SUV, among a remarkable lineage of vehicles and innovations.
The pioneering spirit of Jaguar can trace its roots back to the 1930s, which was accelerated in the 1940s with the development of the XK engine that would stay in production for 40 years and be the backbone of motorsport success.
