Jaguar has started testing prototypes for a high-performance F-Pace SUV.
Spotted at the Nürburgring, the prototypes mostly resemble
the existing F-Pace S but are wearing new, much more aggressive front bumpers.
The stock F-Pace S bumper and exhaust tips remain at the
rear though these may change as development continues.
Handling the development is Jaguar Land Rover Special
Vehicle Operations. The team will no doubt be relying on lessons learned from
the Land Rover Range Rover
Sport SVR program in tuning this high-performance F-Pace.
We hear SVO is also working on hotter versions of Jaguar’s
XE and XF and evenLand Rover’s Range
Rover Evoque.
But getting back to the F-Pace, it isn’t clear whether these
latest prototypes are for an F-Pace R or a fully-fledged F-Pace SVR. Regardless
of which it is, expect Jaguar Land Rover’s supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 under the
hood.
The suspension should also be tuned for carving up race
tracks, and the wheels, tires and brakes should also be upgraded accordingly.
The prototypes already look to be sporting some massive brake discs.
It’s still early days in the development program so we’re
not expecting this high-performance F-Pace to reach the market until sometime
in 2018. It should arrive as a 2019 model.
