Default Jaguar F-Type SVR Gets Even Racier With New Graphic Pack

Marking its debut this week at the Geneva Motor Show, the new Graphic Pack gives Jaguar’s flagship performance model an extra dose of racing appeal. The package includes a contrasting grille surround, mirror caps, and aero winglets, along with special hood and side graphics – all available in six distinct themes.

Not my cup of tea...

The car should speak for itself.

Looks like it is an extra-cost option and thankfully not standard.
And I bet it costs plenty, probably north of $2,000.
Who will be the first "base" model owner to install this pack and pretend they have a new SVR?

Update - according to this Autocar article it is a no-cost option: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/m...no-cost-option

And you know the dealers will order it. I would demand to have it removed before purchase.

MRSP on that hideous mess is $10k, but includes a couple other small items like painted mirrors. Saw that in person and felt pity for the driver

I think the graphics could work if the contrast were far more subtle. For example, imagine the graphics in the same dolor as the car but in matte. (but for $10k...I think not).

the idea is silly, 1) its not that big of a deal. 2) you can get it done aftermarket for cheaper.

silly attempt to make a few bucks

Is this option a digital camo to fool auto-detection algorithms on speed cameras, toll road cameras, and self-driving cars?

I don't like the 'designs' particularly if you can call it that. It kinda smacks of what Aston Martin did with the V8 Vantage GT:



On the other hand it seems likely this was done purely so that JLR have a press release item that keeps this not totally new car in the news. In which case, that worked....

Rather than "racier" it makes it look even "busier." I'm sorry I just don't like the wing, the sills, or these decals. The plainer the better. "Less is more" as Mies said. Think of the Lusso, the DB4, or our Base F. Simple unadorned elegance. I will admit however I think some subtle coloration with the grill surround might work. Say a BRG surround.

Hard to beat your car's look with the rims, lowered stance and beautiful color......now if you'd just put your grill in...


J/K, I'm the last guy that should comment on your grill not being installed!

Cheers,
Dave
