Jaguar has confirmed the full specifications of the Jaguar F-Type SVR sports car at the Geneva motor show.
Previously, Jaguar had only confirmed the 200mph top speed of the F-Type SVR coupé, although a leaked brochure revealed many more details. Now, Jaguar has confirmed that power will come from a 567bhp, 516lb ft version of the firm’s 5.0-litre supercharged V8. The F-Type SVR is four-wheel drive and uses an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

The 1705kg F-Type SVR coupé can crack 0-60mph in 3.5sec and reach a 200mph top speed. The 1720kg convertible shares its 0-60mph time with the coupé but has a top speed reduced to 195mph. Economy and CO2 emissions figures are the same for both cars, at 25.0mpg and 269g/km respectively.
The SVR’s aerodynamic package is an uprated version of that used by the F-Type R on which the new model is based. It includes a new front end, a flat underfloor and a carbonfibre active rear wing.

The chassis has been tweaked, with new dampers and anti-roll bars added and stiffer rear knuckles fitted, while wider tyres wrap around lightweight 20in forged alloy wheels. Carbon-ceramic brakes provide stopping power.

Auto only -- shame
fast for a fatty
you got to hand it to SVO,
the SVO ranger rover is no good either heavier than porsche cayenne turbo, which still runs rings around it and more composed.
Jag XF SVO is still not faster than a box standard M6 in a straight line.
in their new direction i think jag is heading in the wrong direction or they don't know what they are doing. i find that quite disappointing, as SVO is not what i thought it would be.
