Thinking about an SVR

[YorkshireSam]

If you're trying to talk yourself into it (which you definitely should!) bear in mind residuals. From what I've seen of the market, SVRs seem to hold their value better than any other model.

Medium-term they'll probably continue to depreciate noticeably more slowly than a P380. Long-term I reckon they could start gaining value as a modern classic.

That alone will likely offset any difference in mpg.

From the earlier posts, it sounds like I won't find a huge difference in mpg from my P380.

Yeah, I've pretty much convinced myself I deserve an SVR

Timing is wrong, because I want to do my Alps road trip in my current car, but i really fancy something special like this (velocity blue in satin finish)

Could just trade your current and do your Alps trip in that SVR

Ha ha, true

But I only got my F-Type in April and really enjoyed a 2000 mile week in the Highlands. Been looking forward to my month in the Alps. That's the right time to look for my SVR.

It's not exactly gonna be a hardship ....

I'm always amazed by the MPG I can get out of my SVR. Obviously it depends on how hard the right foot goes to the floor but on long motorway journeys, sticking more or less to the speed limits, mid to high 30's are the usual. Even managed to hit 40 once according to the Jaguar app!

This confirms the earlier post suggesting the longer gearing in the SVR improves mpg on motorway runs. It'd be crazy NOT to get an SVR

You may miss the shorter gearing of the V6S in terms of fun, I do. Loved banging through the gears. V8 with V6S gearbox would be the best F-Type.

Wouldn't it just be the diff ratios?

Probably yes. Would be great to do a diff swap, but it's not so each on the F-Type since they're fundamentally different designs.
