We've seen the hardcore version of the F-Type on several occasions already, in both coupe and convertible forms. However, these photos show the production version of the SVR Coupe for the very first time.
Not surprisingly, it looks aggressive, like a car that wants to take on the Porsche 911 GT3 in an all-out track battle. Several changes have been made to the front bumper, and we can honestly say that classic E-Type resemblance is gone. However, the 600 horsepower supercharged V8 is hungry for more air, so we can understand that engineers didn't care about beauty that much.
Also changed are the side skirt and the rear diffuser. There's also a fixed rear wing that bolts straight onto the boot. This is the Jaguar for the professional athlete, not the golf club manager.
So far, we know for sure that Jaguar will stop using the R-S moniker. Instead, this F-Type model will adopt the SVR badge, just like the Range Rover Sport. Built for the track, the car will feature firmer suspension, plus a tweaked version of the eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Unlike Porsche, Jaguar doesn't have a motorsport program it can tap into. So the F-Type SVR will not focus on finger-tip precision, instead offering the latest all-wheel drive systems to help it go around corners.
Four massive exhaust pipes, carbon fiber bits and a top speed in the region of 200 miles per hour will help sell this coupe. We expect prices to start somewhere in the area of $130,000 when the launch finally takes place early next year. Considering people pay more than that for the GT-R Nismo, we expect the hardcore leaper to do well.
