SVR

Jaguar will unleash one of Australia's most powerful cars in June, after production delays of almost a year caused by a parts supply issue. Speaking at the global launch of the F-Pace SVR in Saint Tropez, Jaguar Australia general manager of communications and public relations, Tim Krieger, admitted customers are champing at the bit to get behind the wheel.

A high-performance variant of the Range Rover Velar has been spotted outside the Nurburgring in Germany. Although the Velar was given its full debut in March, Jaguar Land Rover's development team has covered this prototype from head-to-toe in camouflage. From what we can see, this car has altered lower front air intakes and a new exhaust system.

The hot new 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR models are now available to order in Australia, two weeks before the coupe and convertible pair make their global debut at the Geneva motor show. As the first-ever production Jaguar models to be given a going-over by the company’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) arm, the F-Type SVR twins also come with the distinction of being the fastest of the breed.

The famed Nurburgring, in Germany, is generally regarded as the most challenging stretch of road on the planet. Dubbed the ‘Ring’ by enthusiasts across the globe, this daunting 20.8km track is technically a toll road (it costs 27 euro per lap) but is also regarded as the Holy Grail of all things motoring, as well as home to the annual Nurburgring 24 Hour endurance race.
