Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations in Atlanta, GA
Not every Jaguar is built the same way. Most are extraordinary. But a select few are taken further: stripped down to their performance bones, reworked from the ground up, and sent back into the world wearing a badge that means something. That badge is SV.
Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) is the brand's dedicated performance and personalization division, responsible for the most powerful, most exclusive, and most collectible Jaguars ever produced. At Hennessy Jaguar Buckhead in Atlanta, we carry SVO models and have the expertise to help you explore every one of them, from the thunderous F-PACE SVR to rare limited-edition builds that command attention in any city.
We've been serving Atlanta's most discerning drivers for over 60 years. When it comes to vehicles this specialized, that experience matters.

What Is Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations?
Think of SVO as Jaguar's inner sanctum. It's a separate division with its own facility, its own engineering team, and its own mandate: push every Jaguar they touch to the absolute limit.
SVO is based at a dedicated Technical Center in Warwickshire, England. The facility spans 215,000 square feet and houses a team of 200 automotive specialists. Inside, more than 40 engineering inspection bays and a world-class paint shop work in concert to produce vehicles that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else on earth.
Three distinct categories come out of that facility. SVR models are high-performance production vehicles built on existing Jaguar platforms but transformed with more powerful engines, recalibrated dynamics, upgraded aerodynamics, and exclusive styling cues. Limited-edition collectors' builds are numbered, named, and tied to a specific chapter of Jaguar's racing history, produced in tiny runs that tend to disappear fast. SV Bespoke projects go even further, offering near-unlimited personalization options for buyers who want something truly one of a kind.
Every vehicle that leaves the SVO Technical Center carries the unmistakable result of that work. More power. More precision. More presence.
The SVO Lineup: Built for a Different Kind of Driver
The F-PACE SVR is what happens when a performance SUV stops making compromises. SVO engineers took the award-winning F-PACE platform and rebuilt it around a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 producing a manufacturer-estimated 542 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. The result hits 60 mph in a manufacturer-estimated 3.8 seconds and tops out at a manufacturer-estimated 178 mph.
But the SVR is not just about straight-line speed. SVO added a Variable Valve Active Exhaust System with quad tailpipes, recalibrated vehicle dynamics, larger brakes, and SVR-specific aerodynamic architecture with a vented hood, aggressive intakes, and rear spoiler, all working together to reduce lift and sharpen handling. Inside, SVR Performance Seats in Semi-Aniline leather, a Pivi Pro infotainment system with an 11.4-inch curved touchscreen, and standard AWD round out a package that drives hard and lives comfortably.
This is the fastest F-PACE ever made.
The SVR 575 Edition turns the volume up one more notch. Advanced Electronic Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) brings recalibrated handling and throttle response, while a new Dynamic Launch feature optimizes every standing start. The Variable Valve Active Exhaust System delivers a soundtrack that makes itself known. Larger air intakes, hood vents, side fender vents, and a rear spoiler reduce drag and improve cornering stability. Front and rear Performance Seats in Semi-Aniline leather complete the package.
Only 394 were ever built. The Edition 1988 is a tribute to Jaguar's 1988 World Sports-Prototype Championship win, when the XJR-9 completed 394 laps at Le Mans to claim victory. SVO's SV Bespoke team created a specification that honors that moment — Midnight Amethyst Gloss paintwork that reads as near-black until sunlight reveals its deep purple undertones, Champagne Gold Satin 22-inch forged alloy wheels, and Sunset Gold detailing threaded through the exterior and cabin. Each example carries a numbered SV Bespoke commissioning plaque and laser-etched Edition 1988 branding on the front wings. Mechanically, it carries the same supercharged 5.0-liter V8 as the SVR, capable of a manufacturer-estimated 0–60 in 3.8 seconds.
This one is for collectors who understand what the number 394 means.
The F-TYPE ZP Edition honors the end of an icon. Only 150 examples were produced worldwide, each marking the close of F-TYPE production and drawing inspiration from the original 1961 Project ZP race cars — the lightened E-TYPEs that scored Jaguar's first competition wins. Two color combinations are available, each referencing one of those historic cars: Oulton Blue with Mars Red and Ebony leather (for Graham Hill's Oulton Park win) and Crystal Grey with Navy Blue and Ebony leather (for Roy Salvadori's Crystal Palace victory). A 567 HP supercharged V8 drives all four wheels through AWD, reaching 60 mph in a manufacturer-estimated 3.5 seconds. Every ZP Edition carries a numbered SV Bespoke commissioning plaque, unique fluted seat pattern, and F-TYPE ZP Edition badging throughout.
The SV Bespoke Experience
Standard spec is just the starting point. SVO's SV Bespoke team exists for buyers who want something the catalog doesn't offer. That means access to an expanded paint palette developed exclusively for SVO vehicles — including shades available nowhere else in the Jaguar lineup — along with bespoke interior trim options, leather selections, and a full color-match service for personalized requests.
The SVO Technical Center's dedicated paint facility uses the latest finishing technology to produce results that range from Ultra Metallic Gloss to Satin Matte and Duo Tone effects. If you have a color in mind, there's a strong chance SV Bespoke can deliver it.
