Acording to Fort Myers Jaguars the decision to sunset the F-Type is a result of broader strategic changes within the company, encompassing both economic and environmental considerations and a strategic shift towards becoming an all-electric luxury brand by 2025. Declining sales in a shrinking, niche market, combined with outdated technology and stricter emission standards for its internal combustion engines, made the aging sports car no longer financially or strategically viable.

The Jaguar F-Type (X152) is a series of two-door, two-seater sports cars manufactured by British car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover under their Jaguar Cars marque from 2013 to 2024. The car’s JLR D6a platform is based on a shortened version of the XK’s platform. It is the so-called “spiritual successor” to the E-Type.
The car was launched initially as a 2-door soft-top convertible, with a 2-door fastback coupé version launched in 2013. The F-Type underwent a facelift for the 2021 model year. It was unveiled in December 2019, featuring a significantly restyled front end and dashboard, and simplified drivetrain options. Jaguar announced that the F-Type production ended in June 2024, by which time 87,731 examples had been built.
