Jaguar F-Type SVR tunnel run: Pic Of The Week

The standard Jaguar F-Type R already has one of the fruitiest exhaust notes out there.

already has one of the fruitiest exhaust notes out there. That the newversion is apparently even louder boggles the mind a little but, yes, as part of the upgrade Jaguar has ditched the standard silencer running across the back of the car and routed the exhaust directly through two separate backboxes. Lighter and louder, plus it frees up space for a diffuser as part of the SVR's aero package.

All very well and, it goes without saying, any owner will be honour and duty bound to find the first tunnel possible to explore the new noise. Can't guarantee it'll be shut down for the purpose with NYPD officers either end, noise-reactive lighting turning from white to red as the car passes along it and clearance to give it everything, but it'll still sound good. And though this was perhaps the world's shortest first drive - 500m and but a few seconds at most - it was certainly exciting. The Park Lane tunnel is narrow, bumpy and the speed, noise, lighting and buzz of doing something a bit naughty - officially sanctioned or not - made for a memorable experience. And a superb, atmospheric Pic Of The Week. If you missed the official vid, that's below too - turn it up loud.

Enjoy!
