Jaguars Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) is currently planning an even lighter Jaguar F-Type than the F-Type Project 7 released at Goodwood a couple weeks ago.
The Project 7 shaved 80 kg off the standard F-Types weight but the special division reckons there is more weight to be lost by using other engines. The dead in the water Jaguar C-X75 supercar promised to use a 1.6-litre super and turbocharged engine that could whip up over 370 kW and rev all the way to 10000 rpm.
This option would definitely reduce the weight compared to the 5-litre V8 supercharged powerplant doing the trick in the current F-Type V8. Not only would it be a lighter Jaguar F-Type but the dynamics could be improved as well.
So far Jaguars SVO division has been busy with two cars being released (Project 7 and the Range Rover Sport SVR) but apparently there are three more vehicles in the pipeline. Hopefully we start seeing some of these high performance Jags and Land Rovers soon.
