The Jaguar F-Type has long been one of
the best-looking cars on the market, and while we’re not sold on the refreshed
front fascia, there’s no denying that the facelifted Jag is still a sexy piece
of automotive design.
With a series of upgrades fitting of
an SVR badge, it would look even more striking; and designer Aksyonov Nikita
has imagined what a potential SVR variant of the 2020 F-Type would look like if
it gets approved for production.
Up front, Nikita’s design adopts new
front air intake surrounds and a new carbon fiber splitter. Additionally, there
are some custom vents on the hood while at the sides you’ll notice striking
silver wheels and extended side skirts. Our favorite angle of the car is
perhaps the rear. It appears as though the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 served as
inspiration, with flared wheel arches that expose a little bit of the rear tire
thanks to cut-outs in the bumper. There’s also a quad tailpipe and diffuser
design just like the Project 8, while completing the modifications is a large
rear wing stretching up from the decklid.
While a new Jaguar F-Type SVR does
sound enticing, it probably won’t show up anytime soon even if it gets the
green light. Power would, in all likelihood, come from Jaguar’s flagship 5.0-liter
supercharged V8 with upwards of 600 hp. For now, though, the 2020 F-Type R is
the quickest version available. It uses the same 575 hp V8 engine as the
pre-facelift SVR and is no slouch, as it can sprint to 96 km/h in just
3.5 seconds.
