随着阿尔法罗密欧StelvioQuadrifoglio，奔驰GLC63，保时捷MacanTurbo和宝马X3M的陆续上市，捷豹新款F-PaceSVR将面临更激烈竞争。为此捷豹SVR部门将为该车提供5.0升V8机械增压引擎，其功率有望超过500马力，同时可发出更凌厉的声浪。除了动力系统升级，新车外观也将比更低端版本更突出侵略性。最近这款车的开发已经进入最后阶段，正在纽伯格林赛道进行测试，谍照记者拍到了这辆车。从照片看，它采用了重新设计的前保险杠，内部集成硕大散热孔，可以更迅速的为V8引擎降温。此外，前轮拱部分也配备了散热孔，只不过轮拱部分的伪装巧妙的遮盖了散热孔。车身额外增加的黑色伪装表明这些部分有了较大改变。而在车尾，新的后保险杠内集成了四个排气尾管，比现行的F-PaceS增加了一倍。捷豹有可能在下周开幕的洛杉矶车展发布这款车，如果届时该车并未亮相，就要等到明年1月的北美车展和两个月后的日内瓦车展了。上文提及的宝马X3M也将于明年发布，这将进一步扩大高性能SUV的阵容。
2019 Jaguar F-Pace SVR Spotted Hiding Massive Air Vents
With Alfa Romeo selling a Stelvio Quadrifoglio, Mercedes a GLC 63, Porsche a Macan Turbo, and BMW about to launch an X3 M, Jaguar’s new F-Pace SVR will have to face some fierce competition. Special Vehicle Operations will work its magic to put the S in SUV by installing a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine expected to push out well over 500 horsepower while providing a raspy soundtrack.
Besides the heart transplant, the F-Pace SVR will also stand out from the lesser versions of the range courtesy of a mean-looking body. This near-production had the final bits and bobs while being put through its paces (get it?) during a recent test session near the Nürburgring. Although wearing full camouflage attire, it’s easy to see the SUV had a redesigned front bumper housing huge air vents to cool down the V8 powerhouse lurking underneath the slightly bulged hood.
In addition, it appears the front fenders will feature vents as well, although the disguise could be playing tricks on us. The fact there’s extra camo slapped on using black tape suggests something interesting is happening in that area. At the back, a new bumper had to be designed to incorporate the four tailpipes, double the amount compared to the F-Pace S.
The prototype looks pretty much ready to drop its camo, so Jaguar might decide to take the wraps off as early as next week during the Los Angeles Auto Show. If not, we will have to wait until January for the Detroit show or a couple of months more until Geneva. The BMW X3 M we’ve mentioned in the beginning is also slated to land sometime in 2018 to further expand the niche of high-performance SUVs.
