Jaguar’s highest performance SUV, the F-Pace SVR, is now available in South Africa. With 405kW and 680Nm the SUV is capable of launching from 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 283km/h.
Jag has taken inspiration from its F-Type sports car, the new SVR features the firm's Variable Valve Active Exhaust System which provides a throaty soundtrack and is another factor behind the SVR’s increased performance capability. The advanced design allows increased exhaust flow and is 6.6kg lighter than the standard system.
To make the most of the SVR’s 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged engine, Jaguar’s eight-speed ‘Quickshift’ automatic transmission has been specially calibrated and its uprated suspension delivers driving dynamics to match its performance. The chassis upgrades include progressive front and rear springs that are 30 and 10 per cent stiffer respectively and incorporate an anti-roll bar specification that contributes to a 5% reduction in body roll.
SVR-specific lightweight forged 21- and optional 22" alloy wheels are wider at the rear by 25mm compared to the front and contribute to the SVR’s enhanced handling. The 22" wheels are 2.4kg lighter on the front and 1.7kg lighter on the rear and are designed to deliver greater airflow to larger 395mm front and 396mm rear brake discs. Brake discs feature an advanced two-piece construction on the front and rear to reduce weight, further contributing to the SVR’s agile handling.
