The Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988 is a £101k limited edition built to celebrate the firm’s triumph at the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Coventry firm will build 394 models – one to mark every lap completed by the winning Jaguar XJR-9 LM.
Each will be finished in bespoke Midnight Amethyst paint, with Champagne Gold forged alloy wheels and Sunset Gold accents for the door mirrors, brake calipers, and ‘R’ on the ‘SVR’ badge.
These reference the famous ‘Silk Cut’ livery of the XJR-9 LM.
“The paintwork appears black until its amethyst undertones are revealed in bright sunshine,” said SVO creative director Richard Woolley.
“To achieve this dramatic ultra metallic gloss finish, we assessed more than 40 variations to create the desired depth of colour.”
There’s more Sunset Gold inside, for dashboard detailing, steering wheel spokes and gearshift paddles.
Jaguar has fitted open-pore carbon fibre finishers, and semi-aniline Ebony leather upholstery with ‘Edition 1988’ script.
All Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988 will use the F-Pace SVR’s 550hp supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine, one that’s good for 0-62mph in 4.0 seconds, and a 178mph top speed.
Jaguar adds the Pivi Pro infotainment system now includes ultra-precise what3words navigation: “Type the words ‘wins.report.miracle’ to arrive at the main entrance of the Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans.”
Ordering is open now with prices from £101,550.
