Fastest F-Pace now available

The highest performance Jaguar SUV is now available in South Africa. With 405 kW and 680 Nm on tap from its 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine, the F-PACE SVR can scramble from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 283 km/h.

Inspired by the F-TYPE sports car, the new SVR features the Variable Valve Active Exhaust System of Jaguar (6,6 kg lighter than the standard system) for the V8 engine and an eight-speed ‘Quickshift’ auto transmission, calibrated to match its performance. Chassis upgrades include progressive front- and rear springs 30% and 10% stiffer respectively and an anti-roll bar specification for a five percent reduction in body roll.

The SVR-specific 22-inch wheels are 2,4 kg lighter on the front and 1,7 kg lighter on the rear and are designed to deliver greater airflow to the larger 395 mm front and 396 mm rear brake discs. Aerodynamic enhancements include larger air intakes at the front and side fender vents and at the rear. A unique spoiler is joined by a new bumper that houses the quad tailpipes.

The F-Pace SVR also features a sports-tuned Electronic Differential and Adaptive Dynamics, while Torque Vectoring by Braking provides controlled independent braking. The Dynamic Stability Control system has been adapted to suit the added performance potential of the SVR. A unique Dynamic Driving Mode initiates faster, more responsive gearshifts, sharper throttle responses, and increased steering response. The SVR is priced from R1,499,400 and comes with the standard five-year/100,000 km Jaguar Care Plan.
