Four-Cylinder Arrives — SVR Debuts

Pivotal year. The SVR is the ultimate pre-facelift F-Type. The P300 is the sensible entry point. The 400 Sport is a sleeper collectible.

Major Facelift — Pivi Pro and Digital Cluster

The facelift is a genuine improvement. Pivi Pro is a revelation after InControl. The R P575 is the definitive post-facelift F-Type. P450 is the sweet spot for most buyers.
