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...

In the market for something British, but aren’t satisfied with the “standard” options offered by Jaguar Land Rover? Arden can help. The German tuner specializes in the UK’s finest, and has landed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show with tempting enhancements for two of JLR’s top-of-the-line models. Pictured above is the Jaguar F-Type SVR, which already stands at the pinnacle of Jaguar’s lineup. Arden takes it further by fitting it with a comprehensive aero kit, including a new front apron, grille, side skirts, rear apron… even new door handles. 21-inch wheels stand to reduce unsprung mass, mounted to a suspension lowered by 30 millimeters (about 1.2 inches) with grippy Continental rubber to help channel all the power to the tarmac. And make no mistake about it: Arden AR 23 packs a lot of power. 703 metric horsepower, to be specific (up from the standard 575), with 644 lb-ft (873 Nm) of torque to back it up. The 5.0-liter supercharged V8 features new forged pistons, an upgraded su...

With 575 horses on tap and one of the most beautiful shapes on the road, the Jaguar F-Type SVR is not lacking admirers. Still, this latest addition could entice some people even more. Marking its debut this week at the Geneva Motor Show, the new Graphic Pack gives Jaguar’s flagship performance model an extra dose of racing appeal. The package includes a contrasting grille surround, mirror caps, and aero winglets, along with special hood and side graphics – all available in six distinct themes. Pictured is the Corris Grey with Ultra Blue accents theme, although buyers can also specify the inverse. There’s also Yulong White with Firenze Red, Santorini Black with gold, Caldera Red with black, and Indus Silver with black. Regardless of the combination chosen, they all come with carbon-fiber hood louvers and side vents. The packages were designed by JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations division – under the watchful eye, we’re told, of Jaguar’s legendary chief designer Ian Call...

Land Rover has officially unveiled the facelifted Range Rover Sport. Looking instantly recognizable, the updated model has been equipped with a new front bumper, a revised grille, and Matrix Pixel LED headlights. The styling changes continue in the cabin as there's a new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system with two 10-inch touchscreen displays. Other changes include additional charging ports and the availability of an Activity Key which enables owners to lock and unlock their vehicle without the need to carry a key fob. Besides the styling tweaks, there's a new plug-in hybrid variant called the P400e. It features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine and a 13.1 kWh lithium-ion battery which powers an electric motor. This setup enables the model to produce a combined maximum output of 404 PS (297 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque. In terms of performance, the Range Rover Sport P400e can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds before hitting a top speed of 13...

Jaguar has revealed the new F-Type which now gains more technology, new variants and slight design tweaks.  You would expect the British brand not to mess too much with  the successful shape of the F-Type  and you would be right; the new model only gets modestly changed model-specific bumpers which aim to freshen up its presence and new full LED headlights. The cabin on the other hand received more new stuff, with the highlight being the adoption of the company’s latest Touch Pro infotainment system as standard, featuring a high-resolution display, faster responses, real-time traffic info and more.  Jaguar has also included the new ReRun app with the car, which was co-developed with GoPro and combines the video from an action camera of the brand with key performance data real-time, including speed, throttle position, gear selection, braking force and g force. The cabin is also hosting a pair of new, lightweight slimline seats, new chrome and aluminum trims and rev...
