Jaguar is working on a mid-cycle
update for its F-Pace and the latest prototype to be spotted is for
the menacing
SVR variant.
The current F-Pace SVR generates a stout 550 horsepower and
502 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter supercharged V-8. However, we know
the engine is capable of more, so with any luck we may see output dialed up a
little for the update.
Of course, rivals like Alfa Romeo's Stelvio Quadrifoglio and
Mercedes-AMG's GLC63 S make do with just 505 hp and 503 hp, respectively, and
Porsche's recently updated
Macan Turbo isn't even in the same league with its paltry 434 hp. We
should point that there's now also a BMW
X3 M (and X4 M) to choose from. It has 473 hp as standard and 503 in
Competition guise.
There will also be some minor styling tweaks made to the
car. The internal graphic of the taillights in particular is expected to take
on a more angular design similar to what we saw on the updated
2020 XE.
Expect the interior to also be tweaked for a more upmarket
feel via the addition of extra soft-touch surfaces and more hand-stitched
leather. We should also see a new infotainment system with a 10.2-inch
touchscreen display in the center stack. The system should be faster and more
intuitive to use than the current laggy version.
The updated F-Pace, including this SVR variant, is expected
for the 2021 model year so we should see a debut sometime this year. Other key
launches at Jaguar this year include an updated
F-Type and redesigned
XJ. The latter will arrive as a battery-electric model.
Stay tuned for updates as development continues.
