In recent years, car design seems to be getting uglier and more homogeneous. The popularity of new energy vehicles has made many new cars lose the middle grid to express their personality, so they make a fuss about the lights, but they are nothing more than split headlights, or through-light strips. In addition, due to the battery arrangement on the chassis of new energy vehicles, it becomes difficult to lower the body posture, especially for sedans, and the bloated shape looks very embarrassing.
It's not that people can't design things that look good, it's that the mainstream things have changed now. In the design of the car, Jaguar must have a say, F-TYPE is one of the most beautiful sports car products in recent years, but the good-looking leather bag can not change the fate of its discontinuation, elegant temperament can not help it sell well today, with the launch of the 75th anniversary edition, this car has also announced the discontinuation, and the domestic stock car is now discounted by 200,000 no one.
And a few days ago, the last F-TYPE was also completed off the assembly line from the Bromichburg factory, this time it is a complete farewell, it will not be sold, it will be sent directly to the British Gayden Jaguar Daimler Heritage Collection, really to say goodbye to this beautiful car.
From 2013 to today, the Jaguar F-TYPE has sold a total of 87,731 units, 15,000 units more than the Jaguar E-TYPE, and on the last F-TYPE, it uses a special paint job of Giola Green, which is intended to pay homage to the E-TYPE model, and is equipped with a black soft-top convertible, the proportion of the cigar body is vivid, and the interior is tan Windsor leather, and the interior and exterior colors of the vehicle are the same as the last E-TYPE in 1974.
In addition, the last F-TYPE is equipped with a 5.0T supercharged V8 engine with a maximum power of 450 horsepower, of course, this also marks that Jaguar's representative engine will say goodbye to us, and Jaguar will transform into an electric vehicle enterprise in the future, so V8 will also become the history of Jaguar, according to previous news, Jaguar's first electric GT car will be launched in 2025, this collected model, will become the memory of the times.
The history of the Jaguar F-TYPE can be traced back to 2000, when it debuted as a concept car, the design was inspired by the D-TYPE and XK, to compete with the Porsche Boxster, but then Jaguar was cut back by Ford's budget, and the early F-TYPE concept car project was cancelled because it did not reach production viability.
At the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar brought the C-X16 concept car, which is the prototype we see today, the F-TYPE, the small body, the streamlined shape, like a big cat predatory posture, elegant and full of power, so the F-TYPE was born very beautiful, delicate and sexy British sports car.
The F-TYPE brings us a convertible version and a hardtop version, with a 3.0T six-cylinder and a 5.0T eight-cylinder SVR top-performance version, capable of reaching a top speed of 322km/h, and a pleasant sound, it is not like those rough muscle cars in the United States, this car can be driven in a suit, not a white vest with a Family on its lips every day.
Of course, it is very comfortable to drive, because the steering is more blurry, there is a certain void, the suspension system is also tuned very softly, daily driving is like an ordinary family car with better power, then again, F-TYPE is not a machine that fights on the track all day long, but allows you to take coffee, leisurely drive on the mountain road to enjoy the beautiful scenery, while enjoying the British treasure audio and exhaust sound of a sports car, the interior of the exquisite and luxurious, every day to watch it infinitely satisfied.
LATER, JAGUAR F-TYPE SALES BEGAN TO DECLINE, AND IN 2019, THE F-TYPE WAS FACELIFTED WITH THE ADDITION OF A 2.0T VERSION, ALTHOUGH ITS CHARM IS INCOMPARABLE, BUT THE DECLINE IN SALES IS A DECLINE, AND THE PRICE REDUCTION AND THE INCREASE IN FOUR-CYLINDER POWER CANNOT CHANGE THIS FACT. Just like 007 Bond, heroes also have a day to leave, and it is much better to choose to leave with dignity, enter the museum in the most decent way, and show its most beautiful side to future generations than to stay for a long time.
In fact, leaving gracefully is also an art, goodbye, the most beautiful F-TYPE.
