Lister Teases Its Jaguar F-Pace, Claims It Will Be The Fastest SUV In The World


Jaguar recently introduced the F-Pace SVR at the New York Auto Show but fans wanting something even more powerful can wait for Lister’s upcoming crossover.

Little is known about the model but the company recently took to Facebook to tease what it is calling “the world’s fastest SUV.” The company declined to elaborate but the teaser image confirms it is based on the F-Pace.

Given its high-performance aspirations, the model has been equipped with an aggressive front bumper and extended wheel arches. We can also see lightweight alloy wheels which are backed up by a high-performance braking system featuring gold calipers and drilled rotors. Other changes include auxiliary LED daytime running lights and a front fender vent with Lister lettering.

The company is keeping details under wraps but Autocar reports Lister’s owner previously confirmed they are working on a high-performance version of the F-Pace SVR. At the time, he suggested the model could have as much as 670 hp (500 kW / 679 PS).

Regardless of the final specifications, the F-Pace SVR was developed by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations and it features a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 542 hp (404 kW / 550 PS) and 501 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system. This setup enables the crossover to rocket from 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 176 mph (283 km/h).

Besides the almighty engine, the F-Pace SVR has a retuned suspension with stiffer springs and a new anti-roll system that reduces body roll by five percent. Other notable features include a high-performance braking system, an active exhaust and an electronic active rear differential.

The F-Pace SVR will land is U.S. dealerships this summer and pricing starts at $79,990.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
