The interior of both vehicles is equipped with the Black Pack package, which includes Windsor leather-trimmed seats and a suede-covered headliner. In front of the driver is a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

When it comes to the powertrain, the power of both models will vary depending on the market, and will be offered in three options. The first is a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder Ingenum engine with 298 hp (219 kW) and RWD, the second option is a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine with 444 hp (327 kW) and RWD or AWD.

Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988

More than three decades ago, Jaguar won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the XJR-9. In honor of the victory, the British company has prepared a new high-performance SUV inspired by the company’s successes, the Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988, which will be unveiled at this year’s race.

The Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988 is painted in Midnight Amethys Gloss color like the XJR-9. There are Sunset Gold Sating shades of gold that adorn the emblems but can also be seen inside the steering wheel, gearshift paddles, seats and dashboard. There’s also plenty of carbon, as well as leather on the dashboard, steering wheel, gear lever and seats. All of these changes come from Jaguar’s SV Bespoke department.

When it comes to powertrain, the Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988 is powered by a 5.0L V8 petrol engine with 550 hp (404 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Enough power to push a high-performance SUV to 62 mph in about 4 seconds at a top speed of 178 mph (286 km / h). It is mounted on a Champagne Gold Satin 22-inch rim.

Jaguar will produce only 384 copies of the F-Pace SVR Edition 1988, one for each lap driven at Le Mans. Orders are already being received worldwide.
