Is this an option somewhere? I'm sure what I saw in Swindon this morning was an F type coupe but it was the colour - an electric metallic blue. Wrap I suppose is an option too. It could have been ultra blue but it loooked more vivd than that.
Anyone know it?

I saw an F-type in a dealer late last summer, in an electric blue hue.
It was very close to Jaguar's Kyanite Blue, but called something different IIRC.

(Having said that, your electric blue may well be different to "my" electric blue .... ) biggrin

Could have been. The sun was out and that can make a huge difference. My impression was that it was a bit lighter than that. Made quite an impression as you can tell!

Could be Caesium Blue. new colour on other models like F-Pace and XE/F. Looks great (and brighter than on the configurator) and similar to the old Kyanite blue. not listed yet as an option for F-type but could be a special order.

As mentioned above, this is Caesium Blue on an XF-S. The colour changes massively depending on ambient lighting conditions.



This is more Close up and probably more representative


Haven't seen F-types in this colour, but it is an F-pace colour too, originally First Edition.

Firesand orange seems to have been taken off the configurator though, which is a shame

Almost. It's Ultra Blue, a metallic colour, whereas FRB is not.

Ultra blue is available across the whole range now, I think originally it was only available on the Design Edition and SVR.
