Jaguar F-Type blends classic design with modern performance in a celebrated sports car legacy

12 Nov 2025

What platform is the Jaguar F-Type based on, and how does it relate to its predecessor models?

It uses a completely new platform unrelated to any previous Jaguar models. It is based on the same platform as the Jaguar E-Type without any modifications. It is based on the JLR D6a platform, a shortened version of the Jaguar XK's platform, linking it to Jaguar's sports car lineage.
