Jaguar is going through a major rebranding right now. It stopped producing every model last year except for the F-Pace, but even it is on borrowed time. The automaker is getting ready to say goodbye to the model—and its V-8 engine—as it shifts to electric, giving the SUV a limited-run sendoff in Australia with the SVR 575 Ultimate Edition.

Under the hood is Jaguar’s supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine, which debuted 15 years ago. It makes 567 horsepower in the F-Pace, sending the SUV from zero to 62 miles per hour in 4.0 seconds. It has a 178-mph top speed.

Jag is only offering the 575 Ultimate Edition in four colors: Sorrento Yellow, British Racing Green Gloss, Icy White Gloss, and Ligurian Black Satin. Each one features the Black Exterior Pack, black roof rails, Ultimate Edition badging, and 22-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin features Ebony Semi-Aniline leather performance seats with carbon-fiber trim. The front seats are heated and cooled, too. There’s also a head-up display, privacy glass, and a panoramic roof.

The SVR 575 Ultimate Edition costs AUS$182,235, or $118,768 at current exchange rates. Jaguar is only making 60 of these high-performance SUVs, and they're all for the Australian market. If you're lucky enough to get one, it'll come with a unique car cover.

Jaguar’s F-Pace-Less Future

Jaguar previewed what comes next for the brand with the Type 00 Concept, which will turn into a four-door GT when the production version debuts later this year. However, it won’t be a car aimed at Jaguar’s current buyers.

The brand wants to move upmarket and compete with the likes of Bentley and Maybach, so a reasonably priced F-Pace replacement is unlikely. F-Pace production should be wrapping up soon, leaving Jaguar’s old lineup in the past as it tries to court a new segment of high-earning buyers who might already be souring on expensive electric vehicles.
