Until now, there was an insurmountable gap between the three-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine with 340 horsepower and the five-liter turbocharged eight-cylinder engine with 510 or 550 horsepower. This is to be filled by the new version of the HST with the Jaguar F-Type S drive unit.
The three-liter six-cylinder is supercharged with a supercharger and has 380 horsepower, 40 horsepower more than the basic gasoline model. Outside of it, the engineers played around with the chassis setup, which now provides better driving characteristics not redeemed by reduced comfort. The Terrain Response system is complemented by the Dynamic mode, which adjusts the settings of the chassis or the electronic power steering when driving on the road.
The body of the HST boasts a redesigned grille , darkened lights, a rear spoiler and a contrasting Santorini Black roof. You'd find glossy black paint around the fog lights or the intakes on the hood, while the lower part of the body is finished in body color. Standard equipment is 21-inch wheels with 20-inch brake discs behind them, for an additional fee the British manufacturer can supply wheels with 22 inches. The cabin, which is still missing in the pictures, has Oxford leather upholstered seats in four two-tone and one single-color combination, unique decors and HST logos.
The other engine versions in the RR Sport range will receive the InControl Protect system (replacing InControl Remote) with the new model year, allowing you to remotely monitor the fuel level in the tank or, in the Premium version, remotely unlock the car and use an audio signal to help you find it in a number of other parked cars vehicles. The All Terrain Progress Control system, including Terrain Response 2 technology, will become standard for all engines. Thanks to the Auto Acces Height function, again supplied as standard, you will never have to jump out of a high SUV again, improved comfort also brings hands-free opening of the fifth door by simply kicking under the bumper. Players will appreciate the greater options for individualization, including the new carbon package.
