Jaguar F-Type SVR review: British V8 muscle tested on road and track

Lighter, stiffer, faster, louder and considerably more expensive than any other F-Type to date, the new £110,000 SVR Coupe is, claims Jaguar, “the 200mph all-weather supercar”.

It’s powered by a tweaked version of Jaguar’s established 5.0-litre supercharged V8, and boasts 568bhp, 700Nm of torque and a 0-62mph time of just 3.5 seconds. So the 200mph F-Type SVR is not just a skirts-and-spoilers job from Jaguar’s burgeoning Special Vehicle Operations division. They don’t do that sort of thing at SVO…

Steve Sutcliffe thrashes the new Jaguar F-Type SVR on road and track to see if the flagship F-Type is just as good as the rest of the range.
