Jaguar has added the F-Type SVR to the India lineup, priced at Rs 2,48,82,000 for the Coupe and Rs 2,62,90,000 for the Convertible, both prices ex-showroom.
Developed by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations, the SVR versions are lighter, quicker, and most powerful F-Type you can buy. The F-Type SVR weighs 25 kg less compared to the F-Type R AWD, and up to 50 kg less with options including the CCM brake system, carbon fibre roof panel and carbon fibre pack.
The 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 makes 423 kW (567 hp) @ 6,500 rpm and 700 Nm of torque @ 3,500 – 5,000 rpm. 24 hp and 20 Nm more than the F-Type R. Transmission is 8-speed Quickshift.
Both Coupe and Convertible do 0 – 100 km/h sprint in 3.7 seconds. While the Coupe’s top speed is 322 km/h, the convertible maxes out at 314 km/h. At 1720 kg, the Convertible weighs 15 kg more than the Coupe.
The SVR’s rear wing is deployable. In Normal mode, the wing deploys once vehicle speed reaches 60 mph and 70 mph for the Convertible and Coupé respectively. The wing will also deploy automatically whenever the driver selects Dynamic mode. In this raised position, the wing, together with the other aerodynamic enhancements, enables a reduction in the F-Type SVR’s drag and lift coefficients of 2.5 per cent and 15 per cent respectively compared to the F-Type R with spoiler deployed. When the SVR’s wing is in the lowered position, the corresponding improvements are 7.5 per cent and 45 per cent.
Exterior design options to complement the carbon fibre rear wing include a carbon fibre roof panel and a carbon fibre pack comprising the front chin section, bonnet louvres, fender vent ingots and door mirror caps.
The cabin gains cosseting 14-way SVR Performance seats finished in Jet black leather with a distinctive Lozenge Quilt pattern, contrast stitching and micro-piping and headrests embossed with the SVR logo. Customers also have the option of Siena Tan or Red leather.
The SVR Jet black leather and optional Jet black leather and suedecloth steering wheels feature black painted spoke outers and contrast stitching in a range of four colours. The unique anodised aluminium shift paddles are larger than those in other F-Type models to make changing gear even more instinctive.
