vrooom!
Hello everyone and welcome
In this video, I'm super excited to be testing out
the Jaguar F-Type SVR
all wheel drive five liter V8
575 horsepower
Now I've tried out the F-Type R
and it was one of my favorite all time vehicles
and all this does is step up the game
This is, of course, the convertible version
uh, but they take the 0-60 from 3.9 seconds
down to 3.5 seconds, top speed from 186
uh, if you are in the hard top uh, with you know, the
spoiler and the correct setting
up to 200 miles per hour
And, so an incredible vehicle, 575 horspeower
uh, but of course the supercharger, mixed with the exhaust, when you put your foot down
[the foot is down]
[laughs]
That is what this car is all about
It just, you just get pure joy, and it's this combination
it really is the combination of the supercharger
uh, so you have this immediate throttle response when you put your foot down
and the sound so you also accompany that torque
that immediate torque with, from the exhaust
the combination is just seriously unbeatable.
It is such a fun vehicle to drive
Uh, the transmission in this car is absolutely phenomenal.
This ZedF 8 speed, uh was the first automatic transmission
that I'd really felt like okay I'm okay with automatic transmissions.
Before I thought that it either needed to be dual clutch
or a manual gearbox.
Uh, it's brilliantly smooth, it's incredibly fast
and, it's it's just an unreal transmission
and it's just a regular automatic, I mean
you know, 8 speeds, so you've got aggressive gears
You can bring the revs up, put your foot down
get into some serious torque very quickly
uh, the car is playful, I really do like this uh, vibrant blue exterior color
And you know, some of the changes for the SVR, of course it has the additional power
over the 550, uh that's purely tuning that they've done
they've also removed some weight out of it
so not only is it more powerful, but it also weighs less
about 55 lbs
and that has been done through the exhaust
uh, which is a titanium inconel alloy
so, super sophisticated stuff
and, also the wheels, uh, so a forged alloy wheel
uh, that takes about, I think 20 or so lbs
vs. the stock, uh F-Type's wheels
er the base F-Type's wheels
So you pull some weight out, you give it more power
um, and when you take the top off, which is, truly amazing
Once this top is down, and you get even more of that sound
in here from that exhaust, uh, it's a really special vehicle
It does have an active rear spoiler, so it does, you know, influence
the coefficient of drag, and the coefficient of lift, uh
depending on where that spoiler setting is, so
pretty cool that they've incorporated that
uh, but you know, it's kind of got this old school
appeal to it that I really like with
the you know, it's a five liter V8
it is a V8, uh, it's supercharged
and you know, something that kind of lacks in a lot of the modern vehicles
even vehicles that are super quick
Uh I've been driving driving the GTR, uh today
you know some other super quick cars out there that are turbocharged
You don't get the resonpse, uh, that you get with this
when you put your foot down
because it's supercharged, and you just have that instantaneous
knock of torque planting you in your seat
and then you just, that roar, and those pops
Man, this thing is just truly a joy to drive
So you do have different settings you can put it in
I've got it in dynamic, um and then in sport mode, and so the sport mode here
basically will just keep the revs up
uh, if you don't choose to do your own shifting
uh, and usually automatic gearboxes I say "you know what?"
"just let the gearbox do it thing-let the gearbox do its thing"
and it's usually fine
Um, because a lot of the manual transmission the paddle shifters
aren't quick enough to kind of react to what you want them to do
This one's fantastic. It's a great gearbox
um, and it's-and it's a great, you know, feel to it, super smooth
which you know, usually you get smooth or quick, not both
and this transmission, it's just amazing how smooth it is
as well as quick
Now, they also do have an option for carbon ceramic brakes
and I believe they said you can take off another 45 lbs
uh, vs., you know, the st-the standard steel brakes
So, they have one variant here
uh, that they were saying the hardtop, uh and it's got you know a certain package
setup where it's 110 lbs lighter
than the F-Type R, with an additional you know 25 horsepower
So, just amazing that they've pulled out a good amount of weight
and, you know they've upped the power
and so the F-Type R is incredible
and the SVR just takes it another level further
this thing is just, man
It's violent, and I love that
[laughs] As you can see, I can't help but, you know
keep this smile on my face the whole time, even if I am following a Honda Civic
at 40 miles an hour. This thing is just a joy
[laughs] Listen to that
Wow
[laughs]
[laughs x3]
So there's a little taste of the joy that can be had in this vehicle
Truly one of the fav-my favorite cars I've ever been in
This thing is [stammers]
[laughs] I can't even come to words, this is
This is sad. It's sad that i's making me this emotional.
Uh, usually I'm, you know, Spock that can't
can't smile, and man this thing is just unbelievably fun
It brings you back to a primal self
where it's just like, you get joy from loud noises
and quick movements, and it's just like, it's
very silly, that that is what, you know
brings a human to be like "aaaah!"
you know, super joy, but I'm just babbling nonsense at this point
This is what this car has done to me
I'm totally sober, I guarantee it, but
man, this thing just has like
it just dumps dopamine into your brain
it, it's unreal. It's a unreal car
Uh, I wish I could say that, you know, it was affordable
[laughs] It's not
So, that's the downside
Everything else about this car is just pure brilliance
It is unbelievably good
And you know there is a little bit of playfulness to it
You can tell that even with all wheel drive
uh, you could definitely get this thing sideways if you wanted
And the traction control system as is keeps it pretty tame
but there's a little twitchyness to it.
Uh, which is cool, you know it's a little bit of a beast
and you've gotta know what you're doing
when you're playing with it, so I enjoy that.
Hopefully I've said something useful in this video
I feel like I was mostly just giggling(hehe)
Uh, but if you guys have any questions or comments
feel free to leave them below
Thank you so much for watching, and
get yourself a Jaguar F-Type SVR
[laughs uncontrollably]
That's just not fair!
That's just unreasonably good.
Listen to that, Jesus!
[laughs] Oh my god
This thing just asks for police to pull you over.
