F-Type SVR Discussion Thread
Just read a bit about it on autospies.com. Seems that it will share tech from the upcoming Project 7 development. Estimated to be around 600 HP with AWD.

I also prefer R-S however I think it is good they share same nomenclature. Range Rover should have taken R-S. Range Rover is a very coveted brand and the association helps Jaguar.

Lighter, ofc it can go lighter, just make as much carbon fibre as possible to reduce the weight, strip out some of the interior which lets be honest isn't the most lush.
Faster- just make it more aerodynamic, bigger wings and and lower.
What else?

The R-S had no historical significance either. Only the R badge has historical significance at Jaguar.

So in this new history JLR is writing, what do you suppose SVR would stand for--"Special Vehicle Racing?"

You guys know that JLR was in a legal dispute with VW/Audi for the R/R-S branding, and lost?
Which is why Jag changed the "R" branding from a square to a round background.
And very likely why they are looking for a new performance brand.
R = too similar to VW R Line
R-S = too similar to Audi RS4/5/6
The VW/Audi logos were almost identical to the Jag ones. Jag lost...
The short term response was to change the background of the Jag R logo from square to round. Long term was, find a new brand. Hello SVR.

I did not know that since I'm new to the brand, having only been focused on E-Types as a kid.

I never knew that there was a lawsuit, but I'm not surprised. I always thought that the R logo was very similar to the Volkswagen one. I definitely like the R nomenclature better because it does have a history. It was simpler.
I bet you they would not of been sued if they did not use the "R-S" nomenclature. At that point, I think that they were pushing it. To be honest, they should've just kept it under the R name in the same way BMW uses M. After that, if they wanted boosted performance models they could've called them SVR spec or something like that.
That would've blended history, along with new ground.
