Jaguar’s 405kW 5.0-litre V8
Jaguar’s 405kW 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged petrol engine features a revised torque curve that raises peak output to 700Nm and powers F-PACE SVR to a higher 286km/h top speed
The new Jaguar F-PACE SVR is available in South Africa now with a starting price of R1,835,700
Pretoria, 23 August 2021 – A faster, more dynamic and more refined Jaguar F-PACE SVR has made its South African debut. The pinnacle of the performance SUV range is elevated to another level thanks to the latest enhancements by the Jaguar SV team.
Increased torque and new Dynamic Launch function slash 0-100km/h time by three-tenths to just 4.0 seconds Improved cooling, pads and Integrated Power Booster deliver enhanced brake performance New front bodywork reduces lift by 35 percent, lowers drag and amplifies F-PACE’s assertive stance
Interior features a selection of exclusive performance-focused materials for a luxurious and sporting cabin environment Pivi Pro dual-sim infotainment technology is accessed through an all-new 11.4-inch HD curved glass touchscreen and enables Software-Over-The-Air capability
Flagship F-PACE now more desirable than ever with Black Pack available for the first time
Dynamics
The new F-PACE SVR is available exclusively with Jaguar’s 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged petrol engine, which produces 405kW and a torque figure increased by 20Nm to 700Nm. This uplift in torque enables acceleration from 0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds, three-tenths faster than before, and a top speed of 286km/h.
The powertrain now features the same torque converter used in the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 super sedan, to withstand the higher loads produced. A new Dynamic Launch feature also uses driveline inertia to maintain power to the wheels during gear changes, contributing to the SVR’s sharper acceleration from a standstill. The V8 Supercharged engine is paired with Jaguar’s eight-speed automatic transmission which delivers rapid gearshifts while adapting the way power is delivered to suit the driving situations.
Jaguar’s All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics is fitted as standard. Adaptive Dynamics suspension technology ensures a precise, dynamic set-up coupled with a supple ride, while Configurable Dynamics provides enhanced driver appeal by enabling the driver to set up the vehicle to suit their personal preferences. A stopwatch, G-Meter and pedal graph also help the driver to monitor performance in Dynamic mode.
The steering system is enhanced with a new electronic power-assistance system delivering greater immediacy, providing a heightened connection between the vehicle and driver. Modified tuning of the adaptive damping provides a more refined ride at low speeds, which is further improved by revised chassis bushes.
Drivers also benefit from improved brake feel in the new F-PACE SVR. The 395mm (front) and 396mm (rear) two-piece disc brakes are now supported by a new Integrated Power Booster which, along with a recalibration of the system, delivers a sportier and shorter brake pedal. The improved cooling and aerodynamics of the vehicle also improve the performance of the brakes, giving the driver even greater confidence.
Exterior
The design of the new F-PACE SVR is inspired by SV’s motorsport experience, with enhanced airflow and aerodynamic benefits delivered through new apertures and vents for improved powertrain and brake cooling. The changes deliver superior aerodynamic performance including 35 per cent reduction in aerodynamic lift, while drag is cut from 0.37Cd to 0.36Cd. As well as the performance enhancements, these elements also provide a more purposeful aesthetic.
The dynamic, assertive design is now more compelling than ever, with a Black Pack option available for the first time. In place of the Satin Grey of the SV Exterior Pack, a dramatic Gloss Black finish is applied to key details such as the grille surround, bonnet louvres, front bumper apertures, sill trims and rear valance. Rear badges in Gloss Black complete the look. The new Black Pack perfectly complements the optional 22-inch ‘Style 5117’ forged wheels, which combine a five-spoke design with a Gloss Black finish and Satin Technical Grey inserts.
Interior
The interior of the new F-PACE SVR is comprehensively redesigned, with materials enhanced to heighten the dynamic character of the cabin and its controls.
Seat and door inserts are finished in Alcantara, with elements such as the central cubby and leather midroll wrapped in luxurious Windsor leather. The 12.3-inch HD Interactive Driver Display is wrapped in Alcantara with ebony stitching, while aluminium patterned finishers feature as standard with open-pore carbon-fibre available as an option.
Optional slimline semi-aniline leather sports seats with heritage logo-inspired diamond embroidery across the front shoulder section, feature a unique perforation across the backrest, while the same pattern is used on the leather on the seatbacks. An embossed SVR logo on the headrests adds a final flourish.
Jaguar’s new Drive Selector has a more performance-focused feel for the F-PACE SVR, finished in dimpled leather with heritage logo-inspired detailing and debossed SVR logo. The new SVR split-rim steering wheel is finished with tactile zinc-alloy shift paddles, providing heightened driver engagement when making manual gear changes.
