The Jaguar F-Type has been updated for 2020, with one notable change being the addition of a Checkered Flag Limited Edition model that starts at $72,925. It features fancy checkered-flag graphics on the headrests, steering wheel, and door sills. Exterior colors include Caldera Red, Fuji White, and Carpathian Gray with a black roof and 20-inch wheels with red brake calipers.
Inside, the new variant has leather-wrapped performance seats with embossed headrests and red or gray stitching. There’s also dark brushed aluminum trim on the center console and a red band at 12 o’clock on the steering wheel.
The Checkered Flag cars are intended to celebrate the marque’s competition heritage and can be spec’d with rear-drive and a 296-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or, for $95,525, all-wheel drive and a 380-hp, 3.0-liter V-6. You’ll need to pony up an additional $2,400 to get either as a convertible instead of a coupe. Both engines mate exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission, as the manual transmission sadly has been discontinued for all F-Types. (It was exclusive to rear-drive V-6 models in the U.S.)
Pricing for the regular lineup has changed slightly for 2020, as well. The base F-Type coupe starts at $62,625, $880 more than the 2019 model. Convertibles start at $65,725, also a $880 premium over the old version.
