2015 Jaguar F-TYPE: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The big change for 2015 is the arrival of the fixed-roof F-TYPE Coupe, which turns the former roadster-only model into a broader sports-car range. A new 550-hp R Coupe becomes the flagship, while the convertibles change far less.
About the 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE
1st generation (X152, 2014-2024), second model year; first year with the coupe body style.
Jaguar positioned the F-TYPE as the modern return to the brand’s sports-car roots: a compact two-seat Jaguar built around rear-wheel drive, lightweight aluminum construction, supercharged power, and dramatic styling. The appeal was not practicality but emotion — sharp responses, a loud exhaust note, a low-slung cockpit, and the feel of a true sports car with more theater and character than many German rivals.
The 2015 F-TYPE range starts with a 340-hp supercharged V6, while the 380-hp S adds a sharper suspension, stronger brakes, and a louder exhaust. The open-top V8 S has 495 hp, and the new hardtop R leads the lineup with a 550-hp supercharged V8, an adaptive sport suspension, high-performance brakes, and premium leather seats.

2015 Jaguar F-TYPE

“No one else should ever buy another car like mine so that I will have the only one on the planet.”
