Personally I am really unsure if that is good or bad. If they were more reliable, and I had the moolah, I would probably have one to go with my country estate.
Not quite, my 2014 F-Type has it.
I believe all F-Type V6S had/have it, not so sure about the P380 though (same as the S just a different name).
And it is/was only ever on the V6S, not on the Base or the V8S or the R or the SVR.
There's no way I could afford Ā£100k for one of these...
However, if they depreciate nicely I'd buy one in a few years. Something with a 5.0 V8 that's a bit "Not Normal" that can tow 3.5 tons would be ideal for me

The rationale for having it on the F-Type V6S only and no other F-Type is:
1. It's one of the extras you get on the S over the base (the others are extra neddies 380 vs 340, mechanical LSD, bigger front brakes 380 mm vs 355 mm and active suspension).
2. The V8 has just too much torque for the gearbox, drive shafts etc to safely handle launch control.

Dunno, but the F-Type SVR (now dead) and the latest F-Type R (same 575 neddies as the old SVR) still had/have the 8HP70 so it's odds on the F-Pace SVR also does.
It might have the 8HP90 which is rated for 900 Nm of torques but I have never seen confirmation of this 'box being used in any Jag.
Thing is the 8HP70 is rated for 700 Nm which is just over the max torque of the 575 HP AJ133SC, but that max torque is never delivered in the lower gears let alone on take off as the TCM tells the PCM to dial things down a bit.

JLR could opt for the ZF GA8HP75Z which is rated for 1000Nm and fully capable of AWD, launch control would be no problem, I guess the decision is down to cost

Yeah the price difference is odd. Not sure why the Defender is more than a "luxurious" SUV like the F-Pace. But then again, the F-Pace won't have the off-road capabilities of the Defender. I think I'd go for the Defender with some extra tuning.
It must have been quite an engineering feat, & expensive, to achieve on road manners & at the same time exceeding the off road capabilities of the original Defender. I would have thought that it's natural competitor would have been the RRS SVR?
Not sure about the Urban Mods... they look like Chelsea tinsel to me.
