Like the F-Type R, power for the new F-Type SVR comes from the automaker's supercharged, 5.0-liter V-8. In the F-Type SVR the engine is rated 575 hp at 6,500 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque from 3,500-5,000 rpm. That's 25 hp (6,500 rpm) and 14 lb-ft (2,500-5,500 rpm) more than the F-Type R. Jaguar says the F-Type SVR's engine calibration is adopted from the F-Type Project 7.

Like the F-Type R, power for the new F-Type SVR comes from the automaker’s supercharged, 5.0-liter V-8. In the F-Type SVR the engine is rated 575 hp at 6,500 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque from 3,500-5,000 rpm. That’s 25 hp (6,500 rpm) and 14 lb-ft (2,500-5,500 rpm) more than the F-Type R. Jaguar says the F-Type SVR’s engine calibration is adopted from the F-Type Project 7.
In order to keep the more powerful engine cool, the F-Type SVR gains larger front bumper air intakes, revised charge air coolers, and redesigned hood vents.
The F-Type SVR also gains a new lightweight Inconel titanium exhaust system with a unique split muffler design in place of the F-Type R’s stainless steel single-box design. Benefits of the new exhaust include the ability to withstand higher temperatures, reduced backpressure, and a 35-pound weight savings. The new exhaust also allows for a more aerodynamic rear undertray.
Part of the exhaust system’s weight savings comes from the ability to use a much thinner wall thickness because of Inconel’s superior thermal resistance over stainless steel. And of course in standard Jaguar fashion, the new exhaust design allows for an even rowdier exhaust note that opens the new titanium valves at a lower rpm than in the F-Type R. The quad exhaust tips feature SVR logos.
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system was also retuned for enhanced traction on various surface conditions while maintaining a rear-drive character. With the F-Type SVR in Dynamic mode and the DSC system set to TracDSC (or switched off completely), the all-wheel-drive system’s IDD and EAD feature Jaguar’s most aggressive tunes for maximum grip.
With the changes to the chassis settings along with the new (10mm) wider tires, Jaguar says the new F-Type SVR can hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds compared to a manufacturer estimate of 3.9 seconds for the all-wheel-drive F-Type R Coupe. In our testing, an all-wheel-drive 2016 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe hit 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds at 121.5 mph. Jaguar also says the new F-Type SVR Coupe can top out at 200 mph, and the F-Type SVR convertible can reach 195 mph. The F-Type R is electronically limited to 186 mph.
Tangible chassis and suspension changes include a new “weight-optimized aluminum die casting” construction for the rear knuckle that increases camber stiffness by 37 percent and toe stiffness by 41 percent. A larger rear anti-roll bar and smaller front anti-roll bar work with the revised damper control software and recalibrated torque vectoring system to reduce understeer at high speeds. Revisions to the Jaguar Adaptive Dynamics system are said to improve both low-speed comfort and high-speed control.
In addition to the weight savings provided by the new exhaust system, the F-Type SVR’s 20×9-inch and 20×11-inch forged alloy wheels save up to 30.4 pounds overall. The wheels are wrapped in 10mm wider Pirelli P Zero rubber measuring 265/35/ZR20 and 305/30/ZR20 front and rear. Coriolis wheels, available in either Satin Technical Gray or Gloss Black, are standard, and Satin Black polished Maelstrom wheels come with the optional Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) braking system.
Standard brakes on the 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR include the automaker’s Super Performance braking system with 15.0-inch front and 14.8-inch rear steel brake rotors. The CCM braking system comes with 15.7-inch front and 15.0-inch rear carbon-ceramic rotors clamped by six- and four-piston monobloc calipers and removes 46 pounds of unsprung weight.
Jaguar says the F-Type SVR is 55 pounds lighter than the F-Type R and that the available CCM braking system, carbon-fiber roof, and other optional equipment reduce overall vehicle weight by as much as 110 pounds.
