All stations are go when you climb aboard the wonderful new Jaguar F-Type SVR. Available as a Coupe or Convertible, depending on your preference, the F-Type SVR delivers superior performance. And that engine note when the hammer is down is something glorious! For a driving experience that is second to none, the new 2019 Jaguar F-Type SVR has to be a go-to-car.
Under the bonnet we’re talking a Jaguar 5.0-Litre V8 423 kW Supercharged monster. Believe you me, Jaguar have done an awesome job of harnessing every inch of this power and making it available where the rubber hits the road. The SVR model boasts one of the best AWD systems in the business, and this superb all-wheel drive delivers the goods, crafts the edge over the competition and pushes the boundaries further out at the limit. On the track the Jaguar SVR pounces quickly through the corners and accelerates shatteringly fast on the straights. Driver enjoyment is enhanced as the SVR delivers a nicely weighted steering feel at any speed, and the car remains beautifully balanced. Now with the uprated 423 kW engine, this F‑TYPE SVR has been engineered for sheer power, exhilaration and outright top speed excitement. In Coupe form the SVR will reach 322 km/h, and if you’re flat out in the SVR Convertible you will see a top speed of 314 km/h. Acceleration is like 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds!
Agility and control comes down to the new Jaguar F-Type SVR providing, bang on, a 50:50 weight distribution between the front and rear wheels. F-TYPE’s All Wheel Drive uses Intelligent Driveline Dynamics software to adapt to road conditions, ensuring correct levels of front-to-rear torque are delivered when needed. Torque Vectoring, Adaptive Dynamics and an Electronic Active Differential all work in unison to enhance the driving experience through increased body control, traction and feel. Adaptive Damping technology assesses body motion and pitch rates at 100 times every second, and it adjusts the settings for each damper accordingly. The Jaguar F-Type’s forged aluminium double wishbone suspension design offers precise handling and control and aids the strong, commanding communication that the driver gets via the steering wheel. Then there is the lightweight aluminium body with a strong, stiff structure that’s a perfect light platform for a sports car as good, and as powerful, as the Jaguar F-TYPE.
So, in normal conditions virtually all engine torque is distributed to the rear wheels, delivering legendary Jaguar agility and handling. Then once road conditions deteriorate and on slippery surfaces, such as grass and mud, torque can be balanced 50:50 between the front and rear wheels to maximise traction. Don’t you just love it! All this sexy Coupe styling, raw power and razor sharp control at your fingertips.
Slip inside the brand new Jaguar F-TYPE cabin, and the Jaguar flavour is evident the moment you enter. You are seated low down which gives you the sense of the thrill of just being inside the F-TYPE cockpit let alone driving one. Sport leather seats are stitched to perfection and the simple, well laid out switchgear is easy on the eye. Looking out over the bonnet in an F-TYPE is a thrill in itself, and you feel in touch with the road.
An 8-inch colour touchscreen is your single interaction point with the InControl infotainment system. This system gives you direct control over navigation, music, phone, climate and many additional driver support systems including parking aids. Dual-mode rotary switches control the elements of the on-board dual-zone climate control system which can deliver strong warm or nice cool air in an instant. These dials also control the optional seat heating functions – a very nice touch on a cold winter’s day.
The new Jaguar F-TYPE SVR features the latest Configurable Dynamics system giving the driver the ability to define which characteristics are altered in Dynamic Mode. This option also features the Dynamic-i system which can display G-Force and lap time as well as throttle, steering and brake inputs on the 8-inch Touchscreen for added driving excitement and information.
The 2019 Jaguar F-TYPE SVR is an impressive, sexy Coupe in its own right, delivering those flowing lines that are exquisitely proportioned and purposeful. But you’ll be surprised, like I was, to note that the F-TYPE Coupé is large enough to take a full set of luggage or two sets of golf clubs, with up to 408 litres of boot space capacity available. For ease of access, the tailgate can be opened or closed at the touch of a button.
Some of the wonderful features that you’re going to love in owning a new SVR Coupe or Convertible are things like the lozenge quilted leather SVR performance seats, a heated SVR branded leather steering wheel with aluminium gearshift paddles, a beautiful premium leather and suede-cloth wrapped instrument panel hood with micro-piping, suede-cloth headlining, the dark brushed aluminium centre console with SVR branding, SVR-only exterior styling, a carbon fibre rear aerodynamic wing (pops up at higher speeds), sexy 20-inch forged alloy wheels, the super smooth and quick 8-speed automatic sports transmission; rain, ice, snow modes, the adaptive cruise control and speed limiter, rain sensing windscreen wipers, the Titanium quad outboard mounted exhaust pipes, sleek LED tail lights, a 5-inch driver’s display with Instrument Panel5 technology, an electrically adjustable steering column with memory, the Smartphone Pack, the 10-inch Touch Pro10, satellite navigation, the premium Meridian sound system, USB and 12 V socket points in the centre console, Bluetooth connectivity, the trip computer, rear camera, keyless entry, Emergency Braking, front and rear parking aids, and the Lane Keep Assist package.
