See this SUV? Looks like a Jaguar F-Pace. Well it is and it isn’t. What you’re actually looking are the first overall images of the Lister LFP. It’s based on the Jaguar, but promises performance that would put even the F-Pace SVR to shame. The Jag tuner has yet to release all the details, but the initial information looks promising. The LFP is slated to pack 670 horsepower (500 kW) and reach a top speed in excess of 200 mph (322 km/h). Those letters, incidentally, we’re guessing stand for Lister or Lightning F-Pace. As it is, the F-Pace SVR built by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations already packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 good for 542 horsepower (404 kW) and 501 lb-ft (680 Nm), helping it reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.1 seconds before topping out at 176 mph (283 km/h). Adding another 120 hp (nearly 100 kW) will only serve to make it even faster – and elevate the tall Jag’s top end beyond those boasted by the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga. Fortunately ea...

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 / ...

If for any reason you found the 380-horsepower F-Pace S lacking in oomph – despite a manufacture claimed 5.1-sec run to 60mph (96km/h), fret not, as Jaguar has answered your prayers with the new SVR. Making its world premiere at the 2018 New York Auto Show on Wednesday, the 2019MY F-Pace SVR packs the same supercharged 5.0-liter V8 utilized in numerous other high-end performance models in the Jaguar-Land Rover group, including the F-Type and Range Rover Sport SVR. In this application, it’s good for 542hp (550PS) and 680Nm (501.5 lb/ft) of torque. Paired to a standard all-wheel drive system and an eight-speed automatic transmission, it catapults the F-Pace SVR to 60mph in 4.1 sec (100km/h in 4.3 sec) and on to a top speed of 176mph (283 km/h). It also promises to sound the part as the V8 gets Jaguar’s Variable Valve Active Exhaust System that’s 6.6kg (14.5 lbs) lighter than the standard exhaust. Jaguar says that’s not all, as it has performed numerous tweaks to the cha...
