This is very interesting. I recently purchased a 2019 SVR and am loving it. The carbon fiber rear wing + titanium exhaust + 200 mph bragging rights were the reasons I only wanted the SVR trim. There is one thing I might want to add tho, in the rolling races, I don't think the SVR's VMAX mode was activated because the spoiler is active. In V-MAX, spoiler stays down and full power in unleashed (according to Jag). I wonder if this would mattered. V-MAX is the mode you need to activate to hit 200 mph

[@MichaelMikhjian]

+1, the V-MAX mode, per the manual ~ engine, aerodynamics and suspension - is set to its maximum performance setting.

[@savagetravels1999]

My 2018 R has most of the features in the 2017 SVR (including the carbon fiber interior, the CF hood vents/mirror cap/roof, and the illuminated door foot plate etc etc) except for the quilted seats. However, like I said before, the 2015R that I had was fun for the dramatic burnouts!

Interesting results and a good follow-up on some reasoning as to "why". I wanted an SVR, but I only wanted RWD for autocross and track, so I got the British Design Edition instead (Fantastic looks and uniqueness, but RWD - 2017). After the warranty is out, I'll be tuning it just a bit to get that "extra" that everyone wants.

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@135iN55]

The ZF8 has as little as 2% loss in RWD config. The rear diff might add 5-7%. The 15% WAG is for a typical automatic over past decades. A RWD R has a higher power to weight ratio, even before any of that.

[@003590510]

You are correct about the 1-2% in the ZF. That is an exceptionally efficient transmission being that it has a full locking converter that locks in all 8 gears. So no slip, it has very little loss. The differential is also correct at 7% loss, being the most loss component in the drivetrain. One thing you are overlooking is the accessories and friction losses that are not insignifigant. Hod Rod magazine did a dyno special about it online about how much accessories actually pull power from the engine. A simple engine fan dyno'd 6% loss on just the engine cooling fan, you have Supercharger loss, Alternator, A/C Compressor, Oil pump, 2 Direct Injection Fuel Pumps running off the Crank and the Cams, Water Pump, and then there are frictional losses in the pulleys, cams, timing belts and tensioners and rotating assembly, Tire losses in rolling resistance, and wheel bearing losses. People incorrectly assume that modern technology has eliminated the 20% drivetrain losses from modern powerplants as I see forums with people using 5-10% loss as a regular thing. I do not think this is the case for anyone but Porsche. For FR layout, we still have 20+% DL, except manufacturers can now make more power than advertised with ease. I heard Jaguar had this engine at 650-700HP on their dyno's on development cycles. This would make sense because that is realistically what the engine would have to make to have 550HP {LEFT OVER} after total DL sapped the motor of power. We haven't even gone into heat soak and heat losses that modern Jags are known for. With more and more accessories being put in cars, I believe the DL is over 20% not under. AWD makes it even worse.

[@andrewherman8695]

You are right with your findings on the loss of power to the wheels on 4WD. This was confirmed to me a while ago by Jag Service manager. Makes you realise the 2WD is a lot better than the later model (non SVR) 4WD which only generates the same 550HP. Unless of course you drive in slippery conditions. Apparently if you run newer stickier tyres than the original P Zeros you can bring down the 0-60 times significantly on the 2WD also.

[@skrrtgarage3922]

It really is interesting, I put Michelin’s on my car and the 0-60 dropped by a half second! It was wild

[@breeez327]

I can attest to that also, I put the Michelin's on my 2014 V8 S and the 0 - 60 dropped significantly also. Well below factory findings.

[@DragonFireEngneering]

Weight is always the enemy of cars. Drive train losses are real but it’s the extra weight of the AWD system that makes the biggest difference. Normally the front wheels are only getting 10% of the power so drive train losses are actually not that high. You can see this in the identical highway fuel economy between 2015 RWD and 2016+ AWD versions. That said, the AWD is worth the weight. Not only does it help standing starts but throw in some curves and the AWD cars have an advantage. And heaven help you if you get caught in bad weather or on a low traction surface without the AWD. Thank you for posting this video, very entertaining.

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Thanks for the comment! Yea power/weight matters a lot on the highway. I’ve autocrossed my f-type a few time and the numbers it puts down are shockingly good, I wonder how the AWD system would be out there. 100% agree about weather/rain.. I have to BABY my car lol

[@deaconstevej1]

I think you killed it on the racing. The SVR has some tight cosmetics. Air vents, brake calipers and spoiler are nice. Your interior is nicer. The two tone cream and grey/black is killing it. I think your exhaust sounds a little better personally

[@hyphed4196]

few theories on why the svr is slower, one might be because of that wing creating more downforce that the standard "r" wing, and also the awd system adding more weight and increasing drivetrain loss.

Yea I talked about that at the end of the video

Bro, the SVR can have all of the carbon fiber bits but I still believe your R looks more sleek. I'm not a fan of the SVR's wing. I like those clean lines of the R with the active wing. Those door sills were nice tho. Spring for some of those sills and the 305's for the back tires.....the titanium exhaust and carbon breaks just don't seem like enough bang for your buck.

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Yea I can see that for sure!

[@003590510]

Sad thing is the R just isn't sleeker. The drag Cd of the R is .37 and the drag Cd of the SVR is .34. That is a really big difference not to mention there is no lift on the SVR at 200mph terminal velocity that it can achieve. There is lift on the R and it can only go 186mph, probably showing the difference in Cd with similiar power. At high speeds above 150mph, the SVR is worth it. Below 150 it cannot beat the efficiency of RWD. All race cars are RWD for a reason. I was looking at the specs of a 20' SVR and it is signifigantly faster than the 17' SVR. Like .8 seconds in the quarter mile. Wonder what they did to it. I am sure it is programming and not hardware, and I wonder if you can remap the old SVR to the 20's programming.

[@Arries-xb7if]

Both cars are amazing, Works of Art.

[@skrrtgarage3922]

[@Xphurrious]

I wonder if its not because of the drivetrain loss increase by going AWD, the launch kills it but when all the power is hitting the rear wheels its probably really even when it hooks up

[@TheMarkyMarx]

Great video. If the SVR had the same upgrade modifications- intake and Velocity AP- I wonder if it would change the results?

[@cryptocop4026]

That SVR is much faster, by all due respect I think the SVR needed a more experienced driver. I love both the cars and good video guys, stay safe.

[@lukaszmd6523]

It is probably worth noting that RWD R Coupe has a bit shorter gearing than the SVR, which adds it another advantage in acceleration except from lower weight and less drivetrain losses. We have the same situation - I own 2014 R Coupe and my friend has 2017 SVR. In rolling race, I win everytime... and same as on your film - it is not by just a hint. R Coupe is just faster when AWD and even SVR, when they lose their initial grip advantage. Also as written, RWD can give you more fun ;) If you want a really nasty exhaust, I once heard R Coupe with Capristo catback. You can scare people off the pavements with it ;)

Take a look at www.automobile-catalog.com and see differences on speeds in gears Early RWD (2013-2015) and later AWD (2016+) versions. Same is about the engine.

Niiiice!! I can't wait to upgrade my XE!

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Right on! Thanks for the comment

[@FFE-js2zp]

The phone mic cant read high enough.

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Wow, the way that SVR wing raises and extends backwards! I think the R is as close to the SVR on a drag as makes no difference. That SVR will top out at 200mph!

[@skrrtgarage3922]

The wing on the SVR looks dope! I agree too

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

@@skrrtgarage3922 LOL, I think here in England, "Looks Dope" has a different meaning, but I get your drift!

[@jamesbetts4190]

It's all drivetrain loss in the awd. The two wheel drive puts more power to the ground plus weighs less

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Yep! Said the same thing

[@PromotingCarMusic]

I have the jaguar f type r 14 and I like the sound more on the R its deeper and not that high pitched than the SVR.

[@skrrtgarage3922]

They both sound pretty amazing! Love that v8

[@savagetravels1999]

You mean the V8s? The first R model year was 2015. They had the V8s in MY2014-2015.

[@silversleeper484]

@Skrrt Garage/Conner, Dude can you please ask your buddy with the SVR if he had his car in V-MAX Mode when he lost to you? I would love to know if this V-Max mode actually makes a difference in the comparison and also find out from someone in Germany if this mode is only for trying to maximize top speed. Thanks Tim The Jaguar Owners Manual says this: STORED SPOILER For maximum top speed (V-Max), the spoiler is stored to reduce drag. It works in conjunction with the front spoiler and other aerodynamic enhancements to bring a drag coefficient improvement of 7.5 percent and lift coefficient reduction of 45 percent. V-MAX In order to achieve 200 mph* you must consciously prepare your F-TYPE SVR Coupe. Select 'Dynamic Mode' and press the deployable aerodynamic spoiler switch for three seconds to enable V-Max Mode. While active, a permanent symbol appears on the instrument cluster. In this mode the spoiler remains stored at all speeds, keeping drag to a minimum. REAR UNDERFLOOR AND DIFFUSER The smooth rear underfloor reduces drag, while the rear diffuser works with the rear underfloor to manage airflow, adding to the stability of the F-TYPE SVR. *Always

[@skrrtgarage3922]

I don’t believe the owner had it in vmax mode. We only got up to 135 so I don’t believe the drag would have been enough quite yet. I would like to know though, maybe we can get another drag race going

[@silversleeper484]

@@skrrtgarage3922 Yes, that would be Awesome if you can do another one with him being in V-Max Mode. From what I heard, (can not find anything concrete though) V-Max is not only for drag, but it's suppose to unleash it's full power. Can not see what full power would/could be. It's rated at 575HP, maybe the mapping changes?

[@richlittlewood516]

Great video and very interesting results, would love to see an 2017 AWD type R vs yours and an SVR - cos I have one ;-) Keep up the great work

[@skrrtgarage3922]

I agree! That would be awesome

[@brave_ulysses5958]

Great review. Thank you!

[@amarmusale730]

Do you know how the power is distributed in normal vs dynamic mode in an AWD R model? What % goes to the front vs. rear? I have a 2016 R and would love to know. :)

[@skrrtgarage3922]

I’ve seen varied answers to that question. Usually 63% rear and 37% front. But I’ve also seen people says it’s 100% rear until it needs traction up front... so I’m not sure, I would guess 63/37

[@amarmusale730]

Skrrt Garage oh ok - thanks a lot. I have an oil change with the dealer soon - i’ll try to get some info from there as well while i’m there.

[@hanswurst6742]

That monica got a chuckle out of me. Have a like for that. I've been driving a V8s F-type since 2015 and I am going back and forth on considering if I should get an SVR. The new model is ugly and the new gas filter killed the sound

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Thanks the for like and comment! I agree on the sound, it’s definitely muted. Although the new design is growing on me, I agree the headlights were a bit of mess up

[@lionyleftwich4418]

I think the R models are faster than the SVR models.I think if you only good at shifting gears yourself,that's the only true way to bring out the SVR power.If yall were both in Automatic and that SVR was getting beat like that...then idk lol i think the bad shifting made the SVR lose

[@devinlwoods]

Granny shifting, not double clutching like he should

[@lukej3215]

Great video and really appreciate the detailed explanations. Hope you can acquire more cars or have the opportunity to give this level of detail/knowledge on other makes/models.

[@skrrtgarage3922]

I appreciate it Luke, thank you 🙏🏼

[@theOcean41]

I like the R better. 🤷‍♂️. Cleaner looking.. especially in white. Nice car

[@rudykadous4005]

What were the decibels i couldn't see it on your phone the sun was in the Way lol

[@skrrtgarage3922]

I can’t remember, I think I said the number later in the video. Maybe 123?

[@LagunaLeonhart]

Which exhaust would you say sounds deeper?

[@toothferrin]

Heckin big ol thumbs up and comment here!

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Hahahah

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Do you see me trying to sneak in a fast and furious clip in every drag race? 😂

[@toothferrin]

Skrrt Garage MONICAAAAAAAA

[@toothferrin]

Skrrt Garage every date night has been an ff date night huh? Haha

[@skrrtgarage3922]

100%

[@biservarchev]

both are great. only those who do not have it criticize it. envy.

[@olivertherider]

My F type R 15 has the door logo blue from factory

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Good to know!

[@jasperatighe5967]

You've not posted in a long time. Hope you're ok

[@krypticbee0816]

How you make the supercharger wine?

[@phillyguy178]

Great video 👍🏽

[@luxurycar360chile4]

Why the R supercharger was stronger than the SVR??

[@skrrtgarage3922]

I have an aftermarket intake

[@ckneasel]

SVR has a better exhaust sound for sure... both are sweet but SVR is better...

[@scpitts]

Great video, well worth the wait. But we need to have a rematch of the standing and rolling races.

[@skrrtgarage3922]

Agreed man!! It was a good time

[@mohamedelmahdi8834]

I kinda prefer the R look over the SVR

[@kennethyoung4892]

Both cars are awesome
