sports car segment but this model represented the starting point
for development of the F-TYPE SVR. Everything which contributes
to performance and vehicle dynamics has been meticulously reevaluated, re-engineered and optimised still further.
SUMMARY The new Jaguar F-TYPE SVR
The new Jaguar F-TYPE SVR is the first Jaguar SVR, developed to exploit
the lightweight aluminium sports car’s full potential while retaining its
inherent tractability and day-to-day usability. The Jaguar F-TYPE SVR is
a 200mph, all-weather supercar. More powerful, lighter, and benefiting
from an enhanced chassis and driveline and active aerodynamics, the
all-wheel drive F-TYPE SVR Coupé and Convertible deliver supercar
performance – in all conditions – and unrivalled driver engagement
and reward.
“The purity of the F-TYPE’s form is something truly special, but in
designing the new F-TYPE SVR we had the opportunity to create
something even more dramatic. Every additional form, line or
component is there for a reason, and contributes to the car’s increased
performance as well as its presence.
“Cutting-edge aerodynamics have always been fundamental to Jaguar
design, and everything from the enlarged air intakes to the active rear
wing is essential to the new F-TYPE SVR’s dramatic looks and 200mph
potential.”
Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar
Raising the output of Jaguar’s supercharged 5.0-litre V8 to 575PS
and 700Nm enables the F-TYPE SVR to accelerate from 0-60mph in
just 3.5 seconds. Maximum speed of the Coupé model is 200mph,
the Convertible 195mph. The F-TYPE R is already a benchmark in the
By exploiting the fundamental capability engineered in to the F-TYPE
from day one, Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division
has developed Jaguar’s fastest and most powerful series production
road car.
“Our objective was to take everything that our customers love about
F-TYPE – the performance, the handling, the sound, the design – and
take it to a whole new level. This is what the new F-TYPE SVR delivers:
it’s a 200mph all-weather supercar.
“With 575PS, less weight, an uprated chassis and bespoke calibrations
for the transmission and all-wheel drive system, performance is even
more accessible and exploitable. This is a car that SVO has developed
for true enthusiasts but it’s one that can be enjoyed every day.”
