Tribute to Classics: Jaguar F-TYPE 75th Limited Edition Launches

Jacky Wu, President of Jaguar Land Rover Integrated Marketing, Sales and Service (IMSS), said: “Since its inception, Jaguar has never stopped its pursuit of sportiness and has left a legendary mark on racetracks.

We are now celebrating 75 years of Jaguar sports cars with The Jaguar F-TYPE 75th Limited Edition.” 

The Jaguar F-TYPE 75th Edition adopts the family design language, with its purposeful and dramatic exterior design complemented by a wide body and low stance, offering a compellingly desirable choice. The new Giola Green colour option gives a discreet, composed, yet aggressive visual impact, coupled with an exclusive Black Pack that includes gloss black grille surrounds, side vents, and rear bumper as well as black Jaguar lettering and jumping leopard logo, underscores a sporty look. Unique to the Jaguar F-TYPE 75th Limited Edition are discreet badges on the front fenders which depict the F-TYPE’s unmistakable silhouette.
