2023 Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988 Is a Rare, Purple Racing Tribute

• The 2023 Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988 is a tribute to the brand's 24 Hours of Le Mans victory in 1988.

• The Edition 1988 has exclusive Midnight Amethyst (purple) paint, gold rims, and other gold accents inside and out.

• The commemorative F-Pace SVR costs $111,150, and production is limited to 394 copies worldwide.

To commemorate winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988, Jaguar introduces a limited-edition 2023 F-Pace SVR that was specially designed by the company's Special Vehicle Operations. Called the Edition 1988, it can be easily identified by its purple paint and gold rims. However, seeing one in person will be a rare experience, as global production is capped at 394. Why only 394? Jaguar says it's building one for each lap completed by the winning car back in 1988.

What starts out as an ordinary F-Pace SVR—if any compact SUV with a 550-hp supercharged V-8 can be called ordinary—is transformed into a unique racing tribute with the Edition 1988. Its exclusive paint color is called Midnight Amethyst, which recalls the purple in the livery that adorned Jaguar's XJR-9 LM race car that won Le Mans in '88. The Champagne Gold Satin that covers the SVR's 22-inch wheels is also likely a nod to that first-place finish. While the color combo might not fit everyone's taste, it will certainly attract attention.
