The R SvR and Project 7?


would it be a good idea to.. take those “differences”

and Upgrade my Type R?

 

If you're tuned, you already make more power than the stock svr and 7, so that really leaves asthetics.

Is it worth trying to convince people you bought more car than you actually did? That one's up to you, but it would be an expensive deception. An svr fixed wing runs ~$7k, for example. The titanium exhausts run ~8K per side, iirc. Something something law of diminishing marginal utility.

But hey, you do you.

 

thought there was more that just aesthetics? nothing more internally?

 

Mechanically, the P7 is identical to the ‘15 R (RWD) except that it is tuned to 575 hp.
The SVR is similar to the ‘16-‘20 R except for the 575 tune, forged rear suspension parts and titanium exhaust making for a slightly lighter car. The ‘21 R has the tune and suspension of the previous SVR. I don’t know if the titanium exhaust was carried over as well.

 

worth getting the suspension parts?

 

I can remember reviews suggesting the the SVR felt a lot lighter at the front end than the AWD R, but I cant remember which review it was. Apparently the parts are the same, so it may be something else. This review might interest you https://www.motortrend.com/cars/jagu...hter-pointier/

 

There are a few other differences:

Special Vehicle Operations engineers have developed a bespoke transmission
calibration for the F-TYPE Project 7, with revised shift points and characteristics.

F-TYPE Project 7 benefits from bespoke, Special Vehicle Operations-engineered
front suspension knuckles which give increased negative camber, revised top
mounts and new front/rear anti-roll bars.

The front and rear spring and damper units are height adjustable, and both spring rates
and damper internals have been tailored specifically to F-TYPE Project 7.

The Adaptive Dynamics controlling software has been precisely
re-calibrated to suit F-TYPE Project 7, the Dynamic Stability Control system
also having a unique state of tune.

 

So I’m already running more power than the SVR. Just wondering if transposing p7 and SVR parts would make the R lighter?

*Note: Despite the fact that the ContiForceContact tire is a road-legal tire, it is optimized for usage on the race track. Due to the very sporty design with reduced tread depth and a compound based on dry handling, Continental recommends driving carefully and attentively, especially on wet surfaces. Vehicle stability is reduced in wet conditions, increasing the risk of an accident (e.g., aquaplaning).

I'm betting it had forged wheels. That would account for a lighter feel.

 

If you don’t already have CCB brakes you could lighten the load far more cost effectively with forged wheels and 2pc. rotors than with a swap of suspension parts.
