The most powerful V8-motivated version of the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, the R, makes 542 hp. That’s a lot, and even if the F-Type is not really the lightest of cars, it’s still pushed to sixty in four-ish seconds – a very competent, though not extraordinary time.

Should you need more, though, Hennessey no offers a pack that boosts the output to 623 hp, making the car even harder to launch cleanly…

The American tuner says sixty comes up even quicker, in 3.5 seconds, while the quarter mile is dispatched in 11.4 seconds.

They achieve this using a custom software map, an upgraded supercharger pulley, a custom induction system and a custom cooling system for the intercooler.

A three-year or 36,000-mile warranty is also offered, though pricing is not readily available and you have to personally inquire to find it out.
