I like it!!

Yep, nice colour.
I wonder how much it costs, probably heaps.
It appears to be a V6 despite text saying "The 5.0 litre V8 unit’s twin vortex supercharger eliminates drag and surge for responsive performance at all engine speeds. Hold tight – it will take you from 0‑60mph in just 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 200mph.", I think they have mixed it up with the SVR.

 

BRG #5 is $4900 usd.

 

But this is not the BRG (which is probably the Xirallic) formulation. The name given to this rather bright green is the SVO Gloss Green.

 

It's really pretty. I used to drive my brother's 360Z in that colour from time to time, though I dont think it was an original colour for it.

 

I had a '76 280Z in that color. Loved it. Really like the FT in that color too.

Picture of the Z the day I sold it.

 

...260Z, oops...

 

The 240Z was the one to have. Lighter, more power to weight than the other two.

 

is it on the Jag configurator?

 

Nope, not on the configurator. I'd guess its at least a 10K option for the paint, given 'regular' SVO paint is ~5K and 'special' SVO paint is $9.5K

 

<<gasp!!!>>
I love it. That would be my choice of color if I were to buy a new one.

 

Even with the price premium?

 

 

+1... I had a '71 240Z bought used with a newly rebuilt engine in 1982 - one of the best cars ever - silver with red interior.... as my mechanic who rebuilt the carbs for me commented "that thing runs like a scalded dog" (lived in Texas at the time).

 

Soooo... this just looks like the EXACT SAME green that Mercedes offers on the AMG GT R just in case... you want the color in your Jag R?

Full Disclaimer - I do like the color but would never pay the premium for it

 

You could probably get your F-Type wrapped in the same colour, or very close, for a helluva lot less than JLR charge for the paint.

 

Very vibrant color looks gorgeous. Bet its hefty price for a exotic color as that!

 

Its also MATTE paint on the AMG (matte paints are available from SVO as well).

I really can't fully imagine the pain of owning a matte painted car. If basically anything touches it, it'll leave a mark that you can't 'buff out'.

 

Was just putting the videos out there of the GT R showing the similarities in hue. Like you, I also would never buy a car with matte paint.

 

One is free to buy what one likes, presuming one can pay the freight. Personally I think most but not all mattes miss the mark. However, the MB white matte is not bad, and I expect Firesand or whatever you call it might be nifty in a matte finish. Speaking of personalization, I was idly thinking about what the F might look like with the traditional Jaguar chrome mesh grill that historically has been the sign of a supercharged car.
