The F-Pace<\/a> has been a big car for Jaguar. More than 132,000 have been bought, and now, Jaguar sells more F-Paces than it did overall cars back before the mid-size SUV was launched.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s little wonder, then, that Jaguar is keen to keep the F-Pace feeling fresh and relevant. And what better way to do that than by creating a hardcore performance version?<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Jaguar F-Pace<\/a> SVR.<\/p>\n

Engineered by the nutters at Jaguar Land Rover\u2019s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division, the F-Pace SVR is powered by JLR\u2019s familiar 5.0-litre, supercharged V8. Except here, it\u2019s developing 542 bhp. That means a 0-100 km\/h time of 4.1 seconds, and a top speed of 283 km\/h.<\/p>\n

No, we don\u2019t know who might actually want to buy such a thing, but we very much appreciate the fact that it exists.<\/p>\n

The F-Pace SVR is more than a crossover with a big engine, though. The brakes are considerably bigger on the SVR than on the regular F-Pace, and they\u2019re cooled by air vents that channel air to the wheels. Other vents reduce lift, while bonnet vents ensure that the big engine is cooled properly.<\/p>\n

Despite all of the aero work, though, the F-Pace SVR doesn\u2019t actually look that silly. Sure, there are slightly bigger wheel arches, and touches of sportiness around the design, but you could mistake it for a well-specced regular F-Pace at first glance. We like that.<\/p>\n

Suspension-wise, the F-Pace the front springs are 30% stiffer while the rears are 10% stiffer than the regular car. And the adaptive air suspension has had its software tweaked so that it\u2019s now running a bespoke SVR set-up. The same goes for the electric power steering, torque vectoring system and driving mode configurator.<\/p>\n

This is also the first F-Pace to use Jaguar\u2019s rear Electronic Active Differential. Could this be a crossover that drifts? We wouldn\u2019t put it past the SVO division.<\/p>\n

Inside, you get racing-style seats, a new steering wheel, much leather and Alcanatara, and the familiar Touch Pro 10-inch touchscreen for infotainment.<\/p>\n

And the cost for all of this performance? While no pricing has been announced for the Middle East, we\u2019d reckon on a smidge under AED 390,000 \u2013 given what the F-Pace SVR will cost in other markets.<\/p>\n

What do you reckon? Enough to make you yearn after a performance SUV?<\/p>\n
