Remember the Jaguar F-Type R that we loved (and still do) so much? Well, German website Autovisie has a brochure of a Jaguar F-Type SVR (said to have been leaked online unintentionally by a German importer). The new SVR receives a slight power bump, along with added agility and cosmetic improvements. It will be available in both coupe and convertible body styles.
In the brochure, we can see that the supercharged 5.0 litre V8 mill and the eight-speed transmission have been retained. The SVR makes a tad more – 575 hp and 700 Nm of torque – thanks to a few tweaks. As a refresher, the F-Type R, with the same engine, makes a total of 550 hp and 680 Nm of torque, while the F-Type Project 7, currently the most powerful edition, makes 575 PS and 680 Nm of torque.
The F-Type SVR, to be offered exclusively with all-wheel drive, will achieve the century sprint in just 3.7 seconds. To top it off, the SVR coupe will have a top speed of 322 km/h and the cabriolet with 313 km/h. As a comparison the F-Type R reaches 100 km/h this in 4.2 seconds in rear-wheel drive form, and 4.1 seconds with all-wheel drive.
Outside, the SVR will sport a new front bumper with bigger air intakes, a front splitter, a ventilated hood and a speed-retractable rear wing. A lightweight titanium exhaust system with quad pipes and 20-inch forged aluminium wheels (providing 10 kg worth of weight savings) shod in Pirelli P Zero tyres, are standard too.
The SVR is set to get an adaptive sports suspension, an electronic differential, while lightweight carbon ceramic brakes are an optional extra. The brakes are said to weigh 21 kg less than the standard set. Inside, the interior remains largely the same, save for aluminium trim and quilted performance seats with an Argyle-inspired design.
As for its release, the F-Type SVR will go on sale in the Netherlands in May, while a debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, happening in March, can be expected. So guys, are you as excited as we are?
