The Jaguar F-Type has always been a fascinating car for all of us and the fact that it punches out 550bhp from the V8 and this is the 'R' version we're talking about. But Jaguar thought they'd do one better and that's when we saw the SVR version which boosted power by 25bhp taking the tally to 575. But a London-based tuner, VIP Design, has performed a series of upgrades on a Jaguar F-Type R AWD Coupe and it might just be the fastest F-Type on the face of this earth. The tuned F-Type now packs a mighty 650bhp which is 100 more than the car on which it is based. It looks a little blingy with all the flashy gold wheels and the beefier quad exhaust tips but overall it's still the regular looking version. All the changes have happened inside the that 5.0-litre V8 and there are some serious tweaks made in there. Tuned Jaguar F-Type Exhaust Considering they had to extract 100bhp more, the folks from VIP design installed high-flow air filters and made some revisions to the supercharger pulley. The software on the car too was optimised and they even managed to increase the supercharger's boost pressure. The car sits 30mm lower than the standard car and gets a whole bunch of uprated suspension parts, joints, and rubbers. Beside this, the new high-performance exhaust has two selectable sound levels which we probably think read 'loud' and 'voracious'. For those willing to pay a little more, there's a polished carbon fibre look for the rear diffuser, side skirts, and mirror caps which can be matched with hood air vents also dipped in carbon fibre. Jaguar F-Type Alloy Wheels Sadly, the tuner does not let out details on the 0-100km/h timings and so we can't really compare how quick it is but what it does tell us is the top speed and that stands at 322km/h which basically matches the top speed of the SVR. It's amazing to see how tuners have taken the F-Type to a whole new level and kudos to them for doing that!
