What's the news?
Jaguar Land Rover is to debut a trio of stunning vehicles at the Pebble Beach Automotive weekend: the 550hp Range Rover Sport SVR; the US production version of the Jaguar F-Type Project 7; and a prototype of the 'new' Jaguar Lightweight E-Type, of which six customer cars will be built.
All three originate from JLR's Special Operations (SO) group, with the SVR and Project 7 from the Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) sub-division and the E-Type from SO's Jaguar Heritage team. Alongside them will be the full product line-ups of both Jaguar and Land Rover, with the former including the new F-Type Coupé. SVO's Project 7 is based on the F-Type but with fairings inspired by the legendary D-Type, this year celebrating its 60th anniversary.
Alongside the first-ever Land Rover to wear the SVR badge will be the Range Rover Long-Wheelbase, the Range Rover Evoque Autobiography and the 'Great Divide' past and present edition vehicles, from 1990 and 2014.
Anything else?
All three will make their public debut - for the SVR, it's the world's first sight of it - at the JLR kick-off party on the Thursday night. That's August 14, if you're thinking about booking a long-haul flight...
