In 2016, the Jaguar F-Type entered Supercar territory. The top brass of automotive journalism sang its praises- we finally had the second coming of the legendary E-Type.
Launched at the Geneva Motor Show and developed by the Special Vehicle Operation (SVO), the F-Type SVR is the lightest, fastest and sharpest Jaguar to date- with luxury, performance and technology taken to the highest levels to create the ultimate Jaguar.
Armed with a thumping 423kW 5.0L Supercharged V8 (that powered the limited-edition F-Type Project 7) fixed to a specially developed SVO rapid fire 8-speed SSG transmission and split-bias 4-wheel drive, the F-Type SVR devours 0-100km/h in just 3.5 seconds. It quickly earnt a reputation for overwhelming first-time drivers with blistering acceleration.
A monster standard equipment list leaves you wanting for nothing including, adaptive configurable driving dynamics, electronic active differential with torque vectoring, ultra-light weight titanium and inconel quad-pipe sports exhaust, carbon-fibre rear spoiler with active aerodynamics and flat under floor like an F1 car, anodised aluminium shift paddles, infrared reflective windscreen, LED headlights and tail-lights, 12-way quilted leather electric sports seats, heated steering wheel, configurable interior lighting, 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth and audio streaming, 5.0-inch central TFT display and a swathe of safety and driver assisted tech.
The car offered here is an incredibly rare 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR Roadster. It’s 1 of just 3 cars delivered to Australia and with just one private owner from new and an all-Jaguar service history, this supercar you can drive everyday has travelled only 32,000 Kilometres.
In pristine, near new condition throughout this SVR Roadster cost over $350,000 when new. Ordered in Glacier White over two-tone Jet and Red extended leather this sensational car is optioned with:
- Carbon-ceramic brake pack
- Meridian 770W surround-sound system
- Forged bespoke SVR satin Black/Diamond cut 20-inch alloys
- Extended Windsor leather pack
- Digital radio DAB+
- Illuminated entry sills
- Heated/cooled seats
So hugely involving and utterly fulfilling to drive, this SVR combines supersonic continent-crossing capabilities with racetrack prowess but still manages to do it within a package that’s accessible every day. This is Porsche 911 Turbo S territory.
Inside, the cockpit is truly state-of-the-art and reminders you’re in a Jaguar’s Halo car surround you from the double stitched quilted leather that takes the shape of Jaguars Heritage lozenge, the thick SVR sports steering wheel with larger aluminium paddles and SVR lettering engraved into the dash.
In the words of road tester Mark Higgins, “It may have taken 56 years, but I believe Jaguar can now pass the baton onto the genuine successor to the E-Type, the F-Type SVR”.
Built in a new F1 inspired manufacturing facility with an attention to detail that’s unsurpassed, this exceptional, low kilometre Jaguar F-Type SVR Roadster is a must experience- whether to breathe life into the daily drive or enliven the weekend road-trip into the hills, roof up or down.
