2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR Coupe Photos, engines & full specs

Almost three decades separated the Jaguar E-Type from the F-Type. It was a long time and it needed a new owner to finally launch a true successor for the famous two-seater coupe of the '60s.

Jaguar launched the F-Type in the roadster version in 2013 and, soon after that, it introduced the fastback coupe version. It was a car that met most of the British brand fans' expectations. In 2016, the F-Type received its most powerful version: the SVR.

Introduced at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the F-Type SVR coupe showed no mercy for its rivals with a 5.0-liter supercharged engine under a sleek and aerodynamic bodywork. The flat and low hood featured black air-exhausts. The front fenders were wider and featured air-vents to extract the air from the wheel-well. A bigger and modified front bumper with an aggressive-looking apron were installed. A small wing in the back and four exhausts completed the mean look of the car.

Inside, no detail has been left aside. The Alcantara covered dashboard, the leather upholstery on the seats and door panels plus the center console was crafted with a high attention for details. The instrument cluster featured two big dials for the speedometer and tachometer plus a TFT screen in between them, for more information.

But the mechanical part was the real beast: a 575 hp engine was mated to an 8-speed automatic. The all-wheel-drive system was developed by SVR, especially for a high-performance car. And the F-Type SVR was a true performance coupe.
