The hot version of the SUV is expected to be about twice as expensive as the entry-level model, which starts at £34,730 ($49,075) in the UK, and $42,065 on this side of the pond.
By comparison, the Porsche Macan Turbo, one of its direct rivals, can be had from £63,981 ($90,408) in Britain, whereas the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 has a starting price of £66,905 ($94,539).
The range-topping member of the F-Pace family is believed to use the same supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission as the F-Type SVR. The sports car has 567hp (575PS) and 516lb-ft (700Nm) of torque available on tap, and the performance SUV might retain these exact same numbers.
A 0 to 62mph (0-100km/h) sprint of around 4.0 seconds is expected, which would make the new Jaguar F-Pace SVR quicker than the Porsche Macan Turbo, which is 0.4sec slower to 62mph (100km/h).
In addition to the new powertrain, the hot version of the SUV gets upgraded suspension and brakes, a titanium exhaust with quad tailpipes and a beefy body kit meant to improve its aerodynamics and make it instantly recognizable.
We expect the Jaguar F-Pace SVR to arrive in dealerships nationwide before the end of the year.
