Have a look through this brochure for the spec differences - https://www.jaguarlandrovermilitarysales.co.uk/content/uploaded/Jaguar-F-TYPE-Specification-And-Price-Guide.pdf
With the P575 you have to have AWD, with the P450 you can choose AWD or RWD. That was certainly a big factor in choosing the P450 for myself.
You'll get a very nice P450 for well under your budget, but unlikely to get a Jaguar dealership P575. Perhaps a coupe since they're priced cheaper (my experience is convertibles).

Don’t forget a P450 can be re mapped to P575 power several companies will / can do this definitely a cheaper way to get that sort of power as the P575 from factory are way more expensive than the P450 obviously may have issues around warranty and would need to let insurance know.
As for performance I have read the P450 can be closer to 500 BHP from factory
, suggest you test drive both to see

, suggest you test drive both to seeIn terms of power, I never really found my P450 'wanting', it could go from 0 to license-worrying in no time at all, but it always felt 'flat' for want of a better word. My particular car dyno'd at a smidge over 500hp before the remap, and figures upwards of 480 were apparently very common, so the performance gap might be smaller than you expect.
Whichever you choose, you're going to get a car that isn't short on performance. If you're buying on that alone, get the 575. If you don't mind sacrificing a bit of grunt but want the rest of the 'theatre', grab the P450 and put the saved money aside to pay for some fantastic road trips.

mine is P450 MY24 75 got most of those on mine, I think mostly standard on later cars, maybe using up all the bits left lying around before they stopped production

I just bought my Fuji white AWD P450 75 Coupe last Friday. Beautiful car in so many ways. I’m slowly working through the very long break in process..!! however from what I can tell, the car feels pretty quick. I see discussion that it makes more than 450? Does anyone have a dyno they can share?
Otherwise, I’m just getting used to driving the car. It sure has good visibility, which I didn’t at all expect.
The gauges are beautiful. Love the V8 sound.. I’m coming from a turbo 6.. also love the instant response.
Any tips or tricks? I’ll search the forum but quick hits would be appreciated!
