    Jaguar I-Pace SVR May Be Too Fast – Capable Of 1.8 Second 60 MPH Sprint

    Since the electric SUV debuted, rumors were swirling about a high-performance version coming from SVO department in the form of a I-Pace SVR but now some new information from Autocar seems to indicate that there is a possibility of a production version in the near future.

    While talking to Autocar, Product planning boss Hanno Kirner, suggested that an I-Pace SVR would theoretically make sense in the lineup. But there is one problem: the company is worried that, if produced, it could be too powerful for the average consumer. Kirner suggests it would be able to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in less than two seconds.

    “Yes, we can make it do 0-60 miles per hour in 1.8 seconds,” Kirner said. “It’s a good headline, but once you’ve done it once or twice, and lost your eyes in the back of their sockets, you might not want to do it again.”

    “I do worry that the instant torque and performance might be too much for untrained drivers,” he continued. “It may be that we have to impose some kind of restriction, so that the performance is limited until they have gone on a driving course or something.”

    The current I-Pace is quicker than the Tesla Model X 75D with it’s 0 to 60 mph time of 4.5 seconds so one can only assume the SVR version will blow most electric SUV’s out of the water.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
