The final bid was a staggering $19.8 million, which together with auction fees brings the car’s selling price to $21.78 million. CHECK OUT: Every car from 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Dawn Patrol That’s short of the $25 million estimate but was still enough to make it the priciest car sold during last week’s Monterey Car Week, not to mention the highest price ever paid for a British car. The previous...

  • 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR first drive review

    What's in an acronym? In the case of the 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR, it's not just a pretty face and a $126,945 price tag. As it does with the gutsy Range Rover Sport SVR, Jaguar Land Rover doesn't spare much in the mission to give those letters real meaning. That meaning: pretty obvious. SVR stands for 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph for the hardtop model, convertibles just a little slower in both cases. It takes more than a few enamel badges to spin the F-Type to its highest performance limits yet, though. Here's what spotters will notice. Better aerodynamics. New wheel...

Instead of traditional orange cones—the kind revered by transportation departments and reviled by SCCA racers—the smart cones utilize a wireless connection that randomly illuminates pairs of them to change the course for each driver with little notice...

    V-8 Jaguar F-Pace SVR to take on Mercedes-AMG, BMW M SUVs?
