- [Narrator] The SVR is the latest version
of Jaguar's do-it-all sports car.
Now with all-wheel drive, traction isn't an issue,
and the super charged V8 is up to 575 horsepower,
and 516 pound-feet of torque.
Those are supercar numbers, and the SVR
has supercar performance, as a result.
60 miles an hour happens in 3.3 seconds,
and the car runs the 1/4-mile in 11 and 1/2.
In addition to more power, the SVR's handling
has been cleaned up, thanks to lighter weight,
stickier tires, aero tweaks, and totally revised suspension.
Additional updates have been made to the transmission logic,
steering, stability control system,
and the all-wheel drive software.
Oh, and because it was already one of the loudest cars
on the planet, it gets a new, even louder exhaust!
(engine roars)
What do all these changes add up to when the SVR's on track?
Watch and find out.

(engine roaring)
- This is by far the best handling Jaguar I've driven.
Ever.
(engine roaring)
(laughing)
Hey that was fun.
Had a nice little entry, good stable entry,
excellent traction on exit.
I think I'd redo the transmission controls,
but I'm really enjoying the handling characteristics.
For one thing, look how much I can talk
while I'm hot lapping?
That's good sign.
Very impressive.
(engine roaring)
I'll tell you what, I'm enjoying this experience.
So far so good on the brakes.
Wait just a second, and then go. (laughs)
Wow.
I'm impressed.
(ambient music)
People, that's a wow.
The Jaguar F-TYPE SVR wins several awards from me.
Number one, most-improved Jaguar.
Number two, biggest surprise.
Number three, most effective all-wheel drive system yet.
The chassis balance was so beautiful.
It's like I'm carving the friction circle.
Super powerful.
It's rated in the mid-fives.
It feels like it's in the mid-sixes.
It's a torquey super charged V8.
Very effective.
Braking was confidence-inspiring, and firm.
I'm a tremendous fan of this new Jag.
