The last F-Pace has been branded the R-Dynamic 90th Anniversary Edition, coming in for the standard R-Dynamic.

Starting at £46,805, Jag fans can choose from a mild-hybrid or plug-in electric hybrid engine.

And of course, there is a supercharged V8 option under the SVR 575 badge, celebrating the end of the internal combustion engine era.

It promises strong performance with a 0-60mph acceleration of time of only 3.8 seconds.

Managing Director Rawdon Glover said: "F-PACE has given new clients to the brand a choice of models from the efficient plug-in Electric Hybrid to the high-performance F-PACE SVR.

"With its inherent quality and design leadership, it has delighted our clients globally.

"As we prepare for an all-electric future, the 90th Anniversary Edition is a fitting tribute to nine decades of pioneering design, performance and innovation."

Jaguar is preparing to go completely electric from 2025 onwards, with production on all current models to conclude by the end of this year.

It comes after the brand, which has produced motors since 1935, confirmed it would scrap all models ahead of the electric shift.

Production will be ended for all but SUVs as soon as June.

This means the F-Type, XE and XF models have all reached the end of the road.

For the rest of the year, only E-Pace, F-Pace and electric I-Pace SUVs will roll off production lines.

A previous Sun poll revealed 85 per cent of respondents did not want to switch to an EV.

But Jaguar is pressing ahead, with the EV range begin with a GT model promised to "look like nothing else".

First deliveries are expected by 2025, although EV-keen motorists may need a spare £100,000 up their sleeves.
