Jaguar’s final V8-powered SUV arrives in Australia with just 60 units planned, exclusive features, and a looming all-electric future
- Jaguar will build 60 units of the F-Pace SVR 575 exclusively for Australia.
- This is the final Jaguar SUV fitted with the 567 hp supercharged V8 engine.
- Features include carbon trim, panoramic roof, bespoke cover, and 22-inch wheels.
Jaguar fans have had a lot to process over the past year, from a controversial rebranding to the company’s decision to go EV-only after a short production pause. Internal combustion models have already been pulled from Europe and the UK, but in some markets, you can still pick up a brand-new F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition complete with a snarling supercharged V8.
The SVR 575 Ultimate Edition made its global debut in May 2024 as part of Jaguar’s final F-Pace production run, alongside the 90th Anniversary Edition. Now, Jaguar has confirmed that 60 units of the SVR 575 will be built specifically for the Australian market.

Under the hood, the F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition packs a beefed-up version of Jaguar’s 5.0-liter supercharged V8, putting out 567 hp (423 kW / 575 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. That translates to a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of just 4 seconds, with a top speed of 286 km/h (178 mph). Not too shabby for a luxury SUV on its farewell tour.
Limited Colors, Maximum Drama
Buyers have a choice of four exterior shades: Sorrento Yellow Gloss, British Racing Green Gloss, Icy White Gloss, and Ligurian Black Satin. Each version comes standard with the Black Exterior Pack, 22-inch alloy wheels, and Ultimate Edition badges on the fenders for good measure.
Inside, the SVR 575 comes loaded with standard features, including a head-up display, sliding panoramic roof, carbon fiber trim, and heated and ventilated Ebony Semi-Aniline leather performance seats with 14-way adjustability. Jaguar also throws in a custom car cover to keep the SUV protected from whatever the Australian climate decides to do next.

The last hurrah for the performance SUV is available to order in Australia with a starting price of AU$197,033 (US$ 128,000). As we mentioned earlier, production for this market will be strictly limited to 60 units so interested buyers should hurry up before Jaguar becomes and EV-only brand later this year.
While the F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition is the swan song of the SVR series, it won’t be the last F-Pace to hit Australian roads. The company still offers the F-Pace 90th Anniversary Edition with the lesser P250 (gasoline) and P400e (PHEV) powertrains.
In the US, Jaguar’s entire gas-powered and hybrid lineup is now limited to remaining stock. This includes the full F-Pace range, the E-Pace SUV, I-Pace crossover, F-Type sports car, and XF sedan.
