The verdict

What's good

Supercharged V8 exhaust note is widely regarded as one of the finest sounds in any sports car
AWD system gives confident launch traction that early RWD F-Types could not match
Final-year collector status already creating demand — dealer inventory dried up quickly
Tactile steering weight and feedback exceed most modern competitors in the segment

What's not

Discontinued — no dealer support pipeline after 2024 and parts availability will thin
Driver-assist suite is a generation behind rivals — no lane-centering or adaptive cruise standard
Cabin technology dates to 2020 facelift with no wireless charging standard
Insurance cost for 575 hp cars in this class runs among the highest in the segment

The engine

AJ-V8

Supercharged V8

A thunderous, instantly responsive supercharged V8 with a snarling, crackling exhaust note that defined the F-Type R's brutal, old-school character and explosive low-end shove.

The AJ133 5.0L is the modern peak of Jaguar's AJ-V8 family, an engine line Jaguar fought Ford to design in-house; it debuted in 2009 and was championed by Jaguar engineering director Clive Ennos.

The AJ-V8 was only the fourth all-new engine type in Jaguar's history, and in 1997 it replaced both the straight-six AJ16 and the legendary Jaguar V12 in one stroke.
When Ford closed the Bridgend plant in September 2020, Jaguar Land Rover took over the supercharged V8's production means to keep the engine alive in-house.
The supercharged AJ133 uses a roots-type blower nestled in the V of the engine for near-instant throttle response with no turbo lag.
