The Jaguar F-Pace shares the same bhp with the 3996 Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8 Turbo Convertible (542 bhp)

In terms of pure power the 5000cc 32 valve, V 8 engine produces around 542 bhp (404 kW) @ 6500 rpm which is comparable to the 3996 Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8 Turbo Convertible (542 bhp) and also the 2025 BMW 2 Series M2 CS Bi-Turbo (523 bhp).

Power to Weight:

If you look at both power or torque of the 2018 Jaguar F-Pace in comparison with its weight you get a much more accurate idea of its real world performance.

The 2022 Audi A6 RS 6 Avant performance (286.8 bhp per ton) has similar Bhp Per Ton stats as the Jaguar F-Pace.

The Jaguar F-Pace has a power to weight ratio of 261.8 bhp per ton. Bhp per ton figures of the 2018 F-Pace SVR 5.0 V8 Supercharged means you're competing with the 2022 Audi A6 RS 6 Avant performance (286.8 bhp per ton) and the equally quick 1953 Alfa-Romeo 6C 3000M (286.7 bhp per ton).

Torque to Weight:

If you agree with the late great Carroll Shelby then arguably an even better indicator of potential performance is Torque!. However, torque isn't the whole story, you also need to compare weight as well for more real world comparisons such as torque per ton.

The Jaguar F-Pace SVR 5.0 V8 Supercharged generates around 242.5 lb-ft per ton. So if you're looking at what cars perform similarly either on the drag strip or at the traffic lights using torque to weight as a benchmark, then look no further than the 2016 Aston-Martin Vanquish S 5.9 V12 (267.3 lb-ft per ton) or the similarly performing 2011 Mercedes C Class 63 AMG Coupe Black Series (267.2 lb-ft per ton).

Top Speed:

Some modern performance cars are often artificially restricted particularly when it comes to max speed. 155 mph top speed restrictions are often used as part of the German 'Gentleman's Agreement' for example, so be cautious when using maximum speed figures. The 2018 version of the Jaguar F-Pace SVR 5.0 V8 Supercharged has a maximum speed of 176mph.

Top Speed of the 2018 F-Pace equals the Porsche 968 3.0 Turbo S (175 mph)

If maxing out your car on the AutoBahn is your thing and you're wondering what has a similar top end performance to the 2018 Jaguar F-Pace SVR 5.0 V8 Supercharged then there's the slightly slower the Porsche 968 3.0 Turbo S (175 mph) or how about the impressive Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona (175 mph).
