Walked out of the King of Prussia mall today, walking to my car, and what do I see, but the only car in the Jaguar line faster than mine...a gray SVR!!

Car is beautiful and it's amazing how minor the differences are between it and a regular R coupe on the outside. That interior is to die for though, and I think the rear wing is growing on me.

What do y'all think?

 

MadCat, your car is the better looking of the two.

 

personally still prefer the minimalist look of the R

also why i refuse to add any wing to my r8

each to his own

 

I guess a lot of us agree that the svr bpdy style doesnt quite work... The aero/ larger intake add ons feel aftermarket...just not cohesive enough

I really do feel they got it right in the first MY. As our UK friends might say, I think they "knackered" the nose and vents on the fenders.

 

I also like the looks of the R better, and I drove right past the KOP mall yesterday around 1pm, 3 F types in the same area that is a first for me. I rarely see another one on the road.

 

I must be the minority, as I like the SVR. Eventually hoping JLR has fire sales on these SVRs like they did/do with the Rs

 

I , too, think the SVR is just as good looking as the R. To me, getting ultra blue and the gorgeous stitching and piping made the SVR my only choice. All the performance changes were just bonuses. But we have to remember that to the "non car type" of people, the FTypes all all look the same, and 911's all look the same, etc. etc. You have to be a car nut to even look for the small differences. I am happy to be a flaming car nut!

 

I think if I was to get an SVR (and I'd seriously consider it just for the ultra blue) I would see what I had to do to convert it back to an R aesthetically.

 

Very much like the same experience I had earlier this year when I visited Nurburgring and stayed at Dorint Hotel:

 

the more I see the SVR the more I dislike he exterior treatments over the R.

Interior is a different story ... LOVE those diamond stitch quilted seats.

I was at KOP mall yesterday as well, my wife wanted to check out the new section that opened.

 

Your car looks great because of its color and your CC brakes and nicer wheels. Shame that the CC brakes are not standard on the SVR. I do love the spoiler and the interior of the SVR.

 

I like the SVR interior and rear wing, stock F styling looks way better.

Of course in the minority, but I'd do SVR minus the wing over R. Love the simplicity of the one large bumper vent holes. Wings are ok on some cars (Porsche GT3 is a good example) but the F's curves are just too beautiful to interrupt.

 

the interior for me makes it ... the vaping kills it ...
