Jaguar has released the full specifications for the F-Type SVR and they have also released new photos of the car. The British company calls it the all-weather supercar. It is available as a coupe and as a convertible.
The new supercar gets a new front bumper with larger air intakes, air vents on the bonnet, a new rear diffuser with four exhaust tail pipes and a new rear spoiler. The new design improves aerodynamic efficiency of the car and increases its performance. The rear spoiler is finished in carbon fibre, and to complement this, the car comes with an optional carbon fibre roof panel and a carbon fibre pack which includes small carbon fibre bits.
“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,” said Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar.
After the Range Rover Sport SVR, the F-Type SVR is the second vehicle from Jaguar Land Rover to recieve the SVR treatment. Special Vehicle Operations has developed the fastest and most powerful Jaguar series production road car. John Edwards, Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations said, “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.”
Powering the Jaguar F-Type SVR is a 5.0 litre V8 engine producing 567 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 700 Nm of torque between 3,500 to 5,000 rpm. It is mated to an 8-speed Quickshift transmission and power is sent to all four wheels. The supercar accelerates from a stand still to a 100 kmph in 3.7 seconds and it returns 8.85 kms to a litre of fuel. The top speed is rated at 322 kmph for the coupe and 314 kmph for the convertible. The car rides on 20-inch wheels.
The supercar is based on a new lightweight aluminium architecture. Weight saving is also provided by a new titanium and Inconel exhaust system, which can withstand higher temperatures and an optional carbon ceramic brakes. The AWD F-Type SVR comes with Adaptive Dynamics, Torque Vectoring, Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD), rear electronic active differential (EAD), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) to improve its handling.
On the inside, 14-way SVR Performance seats finished in Jet black leather with a distinctive Lozenge Quilt pattern, contrast stitching and headrests embossed with the SVR logo. Siena Tan or Red leather is also available as an option. The dashboard and the steering wheel are also leather wrapped and the same options are available. The car comes equipped with InControl Touch and InControl Touch Plus infotainment systems with an 8-inch touchscreen system with 3D map displays and an option between a 380W Meridian and a 770W Meridian surround sound audio systems. You also get InControl Apps for smartphones and it offers various services for security and convenience.
The Jaguar F-Type SVR has been priced at 1,10,000 pounds for the coupe and 1,15,485 pounds for the convertible. The car will make its debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next month and deliveries will start in Summer this year.
