As the first Jaguar model to emerge from the Special Vehicle Operations division at Jaguar Land Rover, the F-TYPE SVR features additional engineering that allows it to be lighter, faster and sharper.

“Getting into and driving a Jaguar is an experience like none other. They’re luxurious, and thrilling to drive, in a way that seduces the senses,” the statement quoted Richard Gouverneur, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa, as saying. “We want drivers from all corners of the country to have an unforgettable encounter in a Jaguar and see first-hand why our cars represent the Art of Performance.”
The statement said those participating in the Art of Performance Tour will be able to drive Jaguar cars on normal roads as well as the race track, with professional guidance from Jaguar Experience driving instructors.
On the tour, the Group Managing Director of Coscharis, Josiah Samuel, was also quoted as saying: “While we intend for all our customers and prospects who are interested to participate, we can only send a few at this time but with future plans to involve others in this continuous opportunity to experience the Jaguar Land Rover brands.
