VIDEO: JAGUAR F-TYPE SVR OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED!

Jaguar has released the first official details on its newest F-Type variant, the SVR, and confirmed the car’s debut at the upcoming 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The F-Type SVR will eventually be launched on the market this summer, in both coupe and convertible bodystyles.

They will be the first Jaguar models to wear the “SVR” badge, which represents the most potent offerings from Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations. Previous SVO creations include the brilliant Range Rover Sport SVR as well as the limited-edition F-Type Project 7.

So what upgrades does the F-Type SVR offer over the already-impressive F-Type R? Jaguar says the car is lighter, faster and more powerful. The automaker is only willing to confirm a 200-mph top speed, for the coupe, but we already have a few of the specs thanks to the previously-leaked information.

Its engine, the familiar supercharged 5.0-liter V-8, is thought to match the 575 horsepower of the aforementioned F-Type Project 7. The car also comes with all-wheel drive as standard, which means it should be able to make the most of all that power. Look for 0-60 mph acceleration of 3.8 seconds or less.

A new titanium exhaust has been confirmed and we can see from the photos that there’s a more aggressive front bumper plus an enlarged, fixed rear wing. It also looks like carbon-ceramic brake rotors will be part of the package, and we expect the suspension to be upgraded as well.
