The last Jaguar car with an ICE was the F-Pace SVR - the most powerful version of the model. The crossover is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine that develops 542 hp. This unit was transferred to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in Gaydon, where it will take its place among the brand's iconic models, including the last Jaguar XE and the first Jaguar S.S.
The color of the car was chosen intentionally. It repeats the paint of the black Jaguar E-Type, which also once symbolized the end of one of the key eras in the brand's history.
As part of the Reimagine strategy, Jaguar is completely rethinking its model lineup. The F-Pace, like the company's other current models, is being permanently discontinued. This also applies to the I-Pace - Jaguar's first production electric car, which is currently used, including in the Waymo autonomous vehicle fleet. There is no official information about the direct successors of these models yet, but the brand showed the direction of development with the concept of a four-door GT called Type 00.
Details about the first Jaguar electric car of the new generation are still limited. According to preliminary information, the model may receive a three-motor powertrain with a capacity of about 1,000 hp, which will bring it to the level of the Tesla Model S Plaid in terms of dynamics. The premiere is expected in the middle or second half of 2026.
Jaguar's transition to a fully electric future is taking place amid a review of strategies by several competitors. Some car manufacturers that previously announced a complete rejection of ICEs are keeping hybrid and gasoline versions in their lineups. In particular, Volvo has adjusted plans for full electrification to 2030, and Land Rover, which is part of the same group of companies as Jaguar, has slowed down the rollout of electric vehicles.
