Those of you who were excited about the Jaguar F-Type SVR should now find out that the British carmaker has officially announced that the sports car will make its world debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, and you’ll be able to own one starting with the summer of 2016.
Developed by Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), the SVR is the first of its kind and comes with some impressive figures. Under its hood sits a V8 engine capable of 576 horsepower and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, and drivers will be able to use every last of it as the car comes with all-wheel-drive and a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Thanks to these specs, the new F-Type SVR goes from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 200 mph (322 km/h). In other words, those who drove the Jaguar V8-hearted F-Type know that the SVR-badged version is a must-have.
Oh, not to mention that Special Vehicle Operations were also responsible for the exclusive F-Type Project 7, where all 250 units are already sold, so they must know what they’re doing.
The bad-ass F-Type is 90 lbs (43 kg) lighter and comes, among other things, with ceramic brakes, forged wheels and a titanium exhaust, so you’ll be hearing a lot those edgy growls.
As rumored not long ago, the Jag might also come with a convertible version. And there is nothing better than going with your roof down on a sunny day in a 194 mph car.
“The F-Type SVR is the first series production Jaguar to be developed by Special Vehicle Operations and benefits from everything we know about precision engineering, performance and design. The result is a 200 mph, all-weather supercar that you can drive every day - we even made a Convertible version so that enthusiasts can revel in the sound from the new titanium exhaust system,” John Edwards, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, stated.
