The 200mph F-Type SVR Will Be Available As A Convertible Because Jaguar Likes Noise

It was supposed to be Jaguar’s big moment at Geneva - the SVR, the most hardcore F-Type we’ve yet seen. Only we’ve seen it already, because a few images and some stats leaked last week. Oops.

So, Jaguar has now announced that we will indeed be seeing the car in the metal at Geneva, while also confirming a couple of details seen in the leak. Firstly, that it’ll be available as a coupe and a convertible. The reason there’s a drop top? Well, this is “so that enthusiasts can revel in the sound from the new titanium exhaust system.” Yep, that’s in the press release.

Jaguar also confirmed that the car will indeed do 200mph, although this is presumably referring to the coupe only - last week’s leak gave a top speed of 194mph for the drop-top.

We’re also looking at 576bhp and 516lb ft from the familiar supercharged 5.0-litre V8, giving a 0-62mph time of 3.7 seconds. Both the coupe and convertible will be all-wheel drive.
