The F-Type SVR is based off the quickest variant, the “R”, and is available either as a coupe or convertible. To ensure there’s no mistaking the SVR’s status as as the fastest Jaguar on sale, an extended front bumper with larger intakes looks the business and improves cooling and reduce drag. The wider front end is complimented by a front splitter and vented fenders while a new rear undertray and spoiler help reduce lift and create a purposefully aggressive look. Redesigned forged 20 inch wheels and “SVR” engraved exhaust tips finish off the exterior.

ALPINA has also invested considerable expertise in the engine. The highly-responsive, direct injection V8 uses two specially-developed twin-scroll turbochargers located between the cylinder banks, operating in parallel to deliver up to 1.2-bar with minimum inertia. An indirect intercooler system (air/water/air) further improves both power and responsiveness, with a main intercooler feeding the two large-volume close-coupled intercoolers. Together with additional radiators, the system ensures the thermodynamic stability of the V8 Bi-Turbo engine at all times, even under the highest sustained loads and most aggressive ambient air temperatures.

'V12 SVR' left the factory on the 21st of December 1999, immediately before Lamborghini shut down for the Christmas break and their celebrations to mark the end of the Century. For the previous few months, the Volkswagen Group had been in financial control of the company but the end of that year marked a turning point. From the beginning of 2000, German efficiency began to replace the magic of Italy in terms of the bloodline, style and general madness of the Italian brand.

To be frank, the 991’s a fine car in every sense of the word. Besides, having driven most of the models in the range, I have to say my personal favourite has to be the GTS; it felt right despite the handling that needed some getting used to. In my books, nothing else has come close.

And now today we have the all-new, 2015 X1 sDrive20i. It’s a different animal altogether too; first and foremost, it’s now a front-wheel drive — something BMW fans still find hard to swallow. Secondly, it has an exterior that mimics the bigger X5 closely; in other words, more mature and there’s that undeniable tinge of macho-ness as well.
