From the moment it was unveiled, the Jaguar F-TYPE gained global recognition as a great contemporary British design
and now its appeal has been further enhanced by the imminent release of the exclusive British Design Edition.
“The F-TYPE is a sports car that excites the senses, with a visual drama that is both individual and very British.
Creating the British Design Edition gave us the opportunity to subtly enhance the way the F-TYPE looks – inside and
out.” ..... Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar.
Based on the F-TYPE S Coupé and Convertible, and featuring a range of visual enhancements and additional equipment,
the British Design Edition is offered in a specially-selected colour palette inspired by the Union Jack: Caldera Red,
Glacier White and – new to the F-TYPE range – Ultra Blue. Ultimate Black is also available.
Further enhancements to the F-TYPE’s award-winning design come from the Sport Design pack and discreet British Design
Edition badges front and rear, with unique branding on the centre console, head restraints and the stainless steel tread
plates.
Behind the 20-inch Cyclone wheels with unique Satin Grey finish is an uprated braking system featuring red calipers
(black is available as an option).
Complementing the range of exterior colours is a crafted premium Jet leather interior finished with contrast stitching
in a choice of three colours. The driver-focused theme of the ‘one-plus-one’ cabin is heightened by carbon fibre trim
around the centre console.
Jaguar’s InControl Touch and InControl Touch Plus infotainment systems are offered with upgraded audio equipment
developed together with leading British experts Meridian. InControl Touch and InControl Touch Plus support a range of
apps which make it easier than ever for the driver to stay connected.
The Jaguar F-TYPE British Design Edition will be available in Coupé and Convertible body styles. Power comes
exclusively from the 280kW/460Nm supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine, matched to the six-speed manual transmission
and rear-wheel drive, or eight-speed Quickshift transmission with rear- or all-wheel drive.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
Winner of more than 140 awards since its launch in 2012, the all-aluminium Jaguar F-TYPE is not only the embodiment
of Jaguar DNA, it is the definitive British sports car.
Enhancing the F-TYPE’s dramatic lines is the Sport Design Pack. Optional on the S model, this is standard equipment on
the British Design Edition and comprises a gloss black front splitter, body-coloured side sill extensions and rear
venturi – a fixed rear spoiler is also available for the Coupé.
The 20-inch Cyclone wheels with Satin Dark Grey finish are unique to the British Design Edition and are fitted with
255/35/R20 and 295/30/R20 tyres front and rear respectively. British Design Edition centre caps are available as an
accessory fit.
And as well as larger wheels and tyres than the F-TYPE S, the British Design Edition also features uprated stopping
power courtesy of the Jaguar Super Performance Brake system. The callipers are finished in red, with black available as
an option.
Completing the exterior enhancements are new badges for the front grille and the tailgate. In place of the red and
green of the S roundel, the British Design Edition features Union Jack detailing in subtle monochrome.
INTERIOR DESIGN
The F-TYPE’s interior has always been a special place to be. The combination of a driver-orientated ‘one-plus-one’
cockpit, superbly comfortable and supportive seats, and luxury materials and finishes make Jaguar’s sports car
different.
The British Design Edition builds on this theme, offering premium Jet leather throughout together with contrast
stitching in a choice of three distinctive colours: Red, Ivory and Reims Blue. The 14-way sports seats feature head
restraints embossed with British Design Edition branding.
Replacing the aluminium of the F-TYPE S, carbon fibre trim is used on the centre console – this is also complete with
British Design Edition branding. The texture and satin finish of this material complements the premium Jet leather
interior perfectly.
Thanks to repackaging of key components at the rear of the vehicle, all 2017 model year F-TYPE convertibles offer an
additional 8-litres of luggage space.
Technology that brings driver and F-TYPE even closer
The standard specification of the British Design Edition also includes upgraded audio compared to the F-TYPE S.
Vehicles equipped with the InControl Touch infotainment system benefit from a 380W Meridian system with 10 speakers,
while the InControl Touch Plus system delivers 770W of Meridian surround sound through 12 speakers.
