Jaguar F-Type SVR - PH video review

Even more noise and rather less tyre smoke than you might have been expecting

---

As the first Jaguar SVR model, and indeed the most overtly sporting Jaguar, there's a great deal riding on the F-Type SVR. If it's good, then the future looks good for upcoming Jaguar sports saloons and - dare we say it - SUVs as well. No pressure then...

Here we have Dan's short video review of the SVR, taken from the launch event at Motorland in Aragon. In it there's discussion of the suspension changes, the kerbweight, the performance... and the noise. Of course he had to talk about the noise.

As you'll hear, the titanium/Inconel exhaust rather dominates the SVR experience on track. Which is a good thing, right? But it's a lot more than loud paint and an even louder exhaust, as you'll see. Without wishing to give too much away, it would appear the future of performance Jaguars is looking very good indeed.

Watch the video here.

The beauty of pistonheads was that it was mostly text pieces with the occasional time for tea video thrown in. There is a lot more video pieces lately which would be great if the majority of pistonheads readership wasn't at work..
