I don't think can compete at al with al the models they mentioned. But it is nice to see but not my style in looks. I doubt they will drop in the V8 even though it is so easy todo and just give it another SW tune like they did with the F-Type 400 model and below.
This post just came 3 days after I ordered a pair of SVR badges for my XE now the the power levels will be that of an SVR in a V6 format. A couple exterior trim parts to add and I shall be happy with my XE for a year more or so.

In the article they estimate appx $79K usd for the SVR XE, and the Giulia Quadrifoglio is around $71K usd. IMHO the jag marketing department should carefully look at the real competition here, and either lower the starting price of the SVR, or they should just go ahead put the v8 in the XE and squash the Alpha with horsepower and call it a day. They could easily get 650Hp with the v8, without adding weight....these two cars can already compete really well against the M.

Hmmm, true, save that there are some people like me who dont want a BM or Benz because they are so common, audi because they are not as prestige, but arent adventurous enough for a prestige Alfa because of their dodgy build and appalling and soul destroying service and inventive responses to warranty issues (I own one so I can comment).
But yes, if you are talking about someone who wants to track the car, it is a lot of coin for something unproven.
With the date of the article I'm not sure, but there were a few articles on about 20 Feb about the XE SVR
New Jaguar XE SVR to take on the BMW M3
Jaguar Will Be Battling The BMW M3 With The 500-HP XE SVR
Jaguar May Build an XE SVR with the F-Type R's Fire-Breathing V8
I just initially posted the one with the prettiest render.

Jag needs to buck the trend and jump on the manual train. Makes the marque unique and emphasizes the driver in a way the paddles can't. Even if it's more for marketing and branding as most will not buy a manual... A great precision gear box along light, engaging clutch can do a lot to get the world auto journalists into an accolade frenzy.

Though I don't want to sound like I'm complaining too much, as the paddle shifter system is lovely in my XE. Just want a more emotional connection to the car. My next Jag lease will be an F-TYPE S with stick.
