Jaguar F-Type SVR: All weather 322km/h supercar
The Jaguar F-TYPE SVR is the first Jaguar SVR and the fastest F-TYPE ever developed. Designed to be lighter, faster and more powerful, while still usable from day-to-day.
The new Jaguar F-TYPE SVR is the first Jaguar SVR, developed to exploit the aluminium’s lightweight potential, while retaining its inherent tractability and day-to-day usability. The Jaguar F-TYPE SVR is a 322km/h, all-weather super car.
Raising the output of Jaguar’s supercharged 5.0-litre V8 to 423kW and 700Nm enables the F-TYPE SVR to accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 3.7seconds. Maximum speed of the Coupé model is 322 km/h.
The 2017 model year F-TYPE Coupé range will consist of:
- F-TYPE (250kW 3.0-litre V6, Quickshift RWD)
- F-TYPE S (280kW 3.0-litre V6, Quickshift RWD)
- F-TYPE British Design (280kW 3.0-litre V6, Quickshift RWD)
- F-TYPE R (405kW 5.0-litre V8, Quickshift RWD and AWD)
- F-TYPE SVR (423kW 5.0-litre V8, Quickshift AWD)
The 2017 model year F-TYPE Convertible range will consist of:
- F-TYPE (250kW 3.0-litre V6, Quickshift RWD)
- F-TYPE S (280kW 3.0-litre V6, Quickshift RWD)
- F-TYPE British Design (280kW 3.0-litre V6, Quickshift RWD)
- F-TYPE R (405kW 5.0-litre V8, Quickshift RWD)
To make the most of the increased engine output, the eight-speed Quickshift transmission gains a new calibration. Together with the extra grip delivered by the wider, 265- and 305-section front and rear tyres (10mm wider than the F-TYPE R), and optimizing the torque on-demand all-wheel drive system’s Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) control technology, this delivers the Jaguar F-TYPE SVR’s outstanding launch behavior and immediacy of response.
The gains in performance and driveability do not come at the expense of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions: compared to the Jaguar F-TYPE R, the figures on the European combined cycle remain unchanged at 11.3 litres per 100km and 269g/km respectively.
The F-TYPE’s aluminium double wishbone front and rear suspension and state-of-the-art electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) system gave the SVO team the best possible starting point for developing the SVR’s vehicle dynamics.
A bespoke interior characterised by exquisite detailing and infotainment systems which support the latest wearable technology make the Jaguar F-TYPE SVR even more desirable
The Jaguar F-Type SVR’s performance does not come at the expense of comfort. The cabin gains cosseting 14-way SVR sports seats finished in Jet leather with a distinctive Lozenge Quilt pattern, contrast stitching and micro-piping and headrests embossed with the SVR logo. Customers also have the option of Siena Tan or red leather upholstery.
The InControl Touch and InControl Touch Plus infotainment systems feature eight-inch capacitive touchscreens, intuitive user interfaces and crisp, clear 3D map displays and offer 380W Meridian and 770W Meridian surround sound audio systems respectively.
As well as the InControl Apps smartphone connectivity and InControl Protect emergency call system, the F-TYPE SVR also offers the latest Incontrol Remote functionality, which – for the ultimate in convenience – now supports wearable technology.
The Jaguar F-TYPE SVR goes on sale locally in August 2016, with current indicative pricing set at R2,134,100.*
