In January this year, Jaguar released some images and information about the F-Type SVR, and now the carmaker has released the price of the new car.
To date, the new SVR comes as the second fastest car ever produced by Jaguar, but the fastest F-Type ever. It is also lighter, more powerful and quicker, but remains tractable and usable day-to-day.
"The new 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," says John Edwards, the managing director of the company's Special Operations.
The car is supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That's why in just 3.5 seconds, it can get from 0 to 60 mph, reaching top speeds of 200 mph for the coupe and 195 mph for the roadster.
"Cutting-edge aerodynamics have always been fundamental to Jaguar design, and everything from the enlarged air intakes to the active rear wing is essential to the new F-Type SVR's dramatic looks and 200 mph potential," says Ian Callum, the director of design at Jaguar.
What made it lighter than the F-Type R is the Carbon Ceramic Matrix brake system and the carbon fiber roof. The car's titanium exhaust is also lightweight and takes off 21 kilograms (46.3 pounds) from its weight. The new forged aluminium wheels of the F-Type SVR also reduce the weight by about 14 kilograms (30.9 pounds). The wider and lighter wheels also improved car handling.
The F-Type SVR retains luxury features found in other Jaguar F-Type vehicles. The car has sportier seats and steering wheels, with the aluminum trim giving the interior an overall premium feel.
Tech savvy owners can also use the InControl Remote app available for iOS in locking or unlocking the doors, check vital information like mileage and fuel level, and more. The app also allows owners to start the car's engine and set climate control for pre-conditioning the cabin beforehand.
The Jaguar F-Type SVR will arrive in showrooms this summer, as a 2017 model. The coupe version of the vat will have a starting price tag of $126,945 while the convertible model will have a slightly higher price of $129,795. The prices include a standard destination charge of $995.
