Looks like it's on the way.

The Jaguar F-Pace SVR, the super-hot version of Jaguar's first SUV model, has been spotted testing for the first time.

As is usual for performance-oriented models, Jaguar took the F-Pace SVR to the Nürburgring for testing, where the model was spotted sporting heavy disguise.

It's clear from the camouflage, however, that an aggressive front spoiler has been added, along with two huge air intakes either side of the front numberplate.

Under the bonnet, Jaguar's 5.0-litre supercharged V8 is likely to be supplying the power via an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. It's the same engine and gearbox combination found in the Range Rover Sport SVR, which develops 542bhp and 680Nm of torque. However, in the F-Type the same powertrain has been tuned to 567bhp.

It's expensive though!

Autocar says:

Jaguar's F-Type pricing compared with the F-Type SVR puts the SVR at more than £40,000 above the V6 S; so it's fair to assume that the F-Pace SVR will carry a price tag of around £90,000.

Unfortunately I imagine it will still have the interior of a £40k car...

Both the cayenne Turbo and RRSport SVR is £95K and with a doubt the latter has a superior interior and image so regardless of what Autocar are saying the FP SVR won't be £90k. My gut says between £75-80k.

I can understand why you might pay a premium for an SVR F-Type (proper sports car performance, track days etc), but why would you want an SUV with that degree of performance??

To see the face of the person next to you as you blow them away at the traffic light Grand Prix of course :evil:

I'm told it'll be £85k

I'm told it'll be £85k, though that front end doesn't seem right, compared to a concept drawing I've seen, and yet these things will change till the 11th hour, so who knows what it'll finally be, but I hope it's great )))

The pieces in the bottom bumper left and right are huge air ducts by all accounts, the wheels are also wrong and this is only a test car.

Ran the plate... . But it won't say what cylinder or anything about emissions. :roll: The only thing I can tell you is that underneath the camo.... It is actually red! :lol: :lol:
Agree that they won't probably be alloy style on the finished thing.... And I would imagine there are some large cooling vents in that bonnet somewhere too.would be surprised if they go the 5 litre route as there are only two exhausts and not four. Maybe the prototype ITAINIUM straight six motor, taking its first breath of fresh air outside the Wolverhampton R+D cell, I think the tree huggers may have made the the last V8 jag the F-type SVR

Smash .... You are always full of information. Who's your source? Give us a clue man.

This was something I would have been very interested in but I'm afraid to say I don't love the car as a whole so right now can't see me interested in it.

Thee engine , looks and hopefully a bit of interior upgrading quality wise would be of interest but I think to live with day to day won't be great unless you are out in the sticks a bit or have nice drives every week, day.

Still be interesting to see and is good to know it's happening.

I thought they wou,d have an XF SVR version as I think that's the route I might go next ( could be in next few months unless things improve !!)
