The new Jaguar F-Pace SVR debuted at the New York International Auto Show in March 2018 and will be available to the public in the second quarter of 2019. The vehicle is an extreme variant of Jaguar’s best-selling F-PACE performance SUV.With a starting price of $80,000, a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine and top speed of 176 mph, the F‑Pace SVR is the ultimate Jaguar performance SUV.
The vehicle incorporates an enhanced chassis, improved aerodynamics, and 170 more horsepower than the current range-topping F-Pace S. The new F-Pace SVR is built for maximum driver reward in various conditions.
Mike Cross, Chief Engineer of Vehicle Integrity at Jaguar Land Rover, describes the car by saying,
“Everything from the steering to the bespoke suspension set-up has been tuned specifically for our performance SUV, and the result is a vehicle that lives up to the promise of both the F-Pace and SVR names.”
The new model incorporates a unique rear spoiler and bumper to aid aerodynamic performance The upgraded chassis features a set of progressive front and rear springs that are 30- and 10-percent stiffer respectively; incorporating an anti-roll system that contributes to a 5% overall reduction in body roll.
The F-Pace SVR is also equipped with new lightweight forged 21 and optional 22-inch alloy wheels. The brake discs feature an advanced two-piece construction on both the front and rear, and, when combined with the lighter wheels, reduces unsprang mass and contributes to better handling.
Another bonus is an F-TYPE inspired Variable Valve Active Exhaust System; providing not only a charismatic soundtrack, but also increasing exhaust gas flow as another factor behind the SUV’s increased performance capability. The SVR exhaust is 14.5 pounds lighter than the standard exhaust system in the F-Pace.
Inside, occupants are treated to quilted-leather sport seats, while the driver can shift gears utilizing aluminum paddle shifters.
