Jaguar - Repair and Service Redwood City F-Type ZP Edition is the last gas-powered Jaguar sports car - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000
Jaguar has revealed a new ZP Edition version of its F-Type and confirmed the special edition to be the last gas-powered sports car to be designed by the company.
Jaguar will go the electric route starting in 2025, and the company is in the process of phasing out its current gas-powered offerings. The F-Type sports car bows out after the 2024 model year.
Jaguar has previously launched the F-Type 75 special edition to mark the end of gas-powered sports cars at the company, but the new ZP Edition is a more exclusive sendoff, limited to just 150 examples worldwide. Jaguar has yet to say if any are planned for the U.S.
The ZP Edition is available in coupe or convertible body styles, and comes standard with the 575-hp version of the supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 fitted to the F-Type. It also comes with a number of unique touches handled by SV Bespoke, the personalization department of JLR.
2024 Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition Convertible
The ZP in the name is a reference to Project ZP, a racing campaign launched one month after the debut of the Jaguar E-Type at the 1961 Geneva auto show. There were seven cars built with modifications for racing, and two, one painted in Indigo Blue and driven by Graham Hill and another painted in Pearl Gray and driven by Roy Salvadori, managed wins in that first year. Hill won the first race, which took place at Oulton Park, and Salvadori followed with a win at Crystal Palace a month later.
Jaguar celebrated Project ZP in June with a collection of restored E-Types matching the colors of those winning examples. Similarly, the F-Type ZP Edition also features a modern interpretation of the colors of those winning cars. One option combines an Oulton Blue exterior with a split interior consisting of Mars Red and Ebony for the leather. The other option combines a Crystal Gray exterior with a split of Navy Blue and Ebony for the leather. Both options also feature a racing-style white roundel on the doors and a white grille surround. Additional unique touches include “ZP” scripts on the door sill treadplates, dashboard, and 20-inch forged alloy wheels.
Like all 2024 F-Types, the F-Type ZP Edition features an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Owners can expect 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.5 seconds and a top speed capped at 186 mph.

Audi - Repair and Service Redwood City - Audi adds more powerful versions of its RS 6 and RS 7 - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000
Audi will offer more powerful versions of its RS 6 Avant wagon and RS 7 Sportback hatch starting this fall.
The new versions don the Performance designation, and their output rises by 30 hp to a new total of 621 hp.
Both arrive as 2024 models, with the RS 6 Avant Performance priced to start at $126,895, and the RS 7 Sportback Performance at $128,895. Both figures include a $1,095 destination charge.
Audi revealed the performance duo last fall, and for their launch in the U.S. Audi will offer special Bronze edition versions exclusive to this market. The Bronze editions will be limited to 75 units for the RS 6 Avant Performance and 50 for the RS 7 Sportback Performance.

The Bronze edition cars will come exclusively in black crystal-effect paint matched with 22-inch wheels in a matte-gold finish. They will also feature many available items as standard, including a Valcona leather package, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, black exterior accents, and the top speed limiter raised to 174 mph. Audi hasn't said how much the Bronze edition cars will cost.
The powertrain is common across all versions, specifically a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. With the extra oomph, Audi estimates 0-60 mph acceleration will take just 3.3 seconds, or 0.2 of a second quicker than before. The top speed is limited to 155 mph, though the Bronze edition cars get the 174-mph limit.
Audi also updated the mechanical self-locking center differential. It's smaller and lighter than before, and Audi says it will help deliver less understeer at the limit. Tweaks to the 8-speed automatic transmission also deliver quicker shift times. Engineers also removed some sound insulation material to let more engine noise into the cabin, and for additional excitement buyers can add a sport exhaust system.
Inside, available packages add gray, red, or blue accents, together with a mix of Alcantara and microfiber trim. There's also a shift indicator in the digital instrument cluster. When the 8-speed auto is in manual mode, the rpm display changes from green to yellow to red, and also blinks to indicate the optimal time to change gears. Selecting Launch Control also signals the ideal moment to accelerate off the line, via new traffic light icons.
