Best performance accessories for a Jaguar F-TYPE R-75 sports car?

Hey everyone! I recently took delivery of a stunning Jaguar F-TYPE R-75, and man, this thing is an absolute riot to drive. Since it's the final celebration of the internal combustion F-TYPE, I really want to make it the best version of itself without ruining the factory reliability or that iconic growl. While the 575hp from the supercharged V8 is plenty for the street, I feel like there’s still some room to sharpen the experience. I’ve been looking into a few things like a high-flow intake or maybe some lighter forged wheels to reduce unsprung weight. I’m also curious if anyone has played around with the exhaust valves or a tune that doesn't void the warranty immediately. I’m not trying to turn it into a dedicated track monster, but I’d love to improve the throttle response and maybe get a bit more feedback through the corners. Budget isn't a huge issue for quality parts, but I want to avoid anything that looks too 'tacked on.' Does anyone here have experience with specific brands like Eventuri or VelocityAP for the R-75? Also, are there any 'must-have' handling mods that really wake up the chassis?

Ok so, congrats on the R-75! That thing is literally a masterpiece... anyway, curious about one thing: are you planning to do the installs yourself or heading to a shop? Labor costs can really mess with the "value" calculation on these builds. Basically, if you want that sharper feel without a risky tune, you gotta focus on unsprung weight. That's the weight of components not supported by the suspension—like wheels. Reducing it makes the car react way faster to steering inputs. Honestly, swapping to Vossen HF-5 Hybrid Forged Wheels is a game changer because the car feels like it lost 200lbs in the corners! Combine that with VelocityAP Lowering Springs for Jaguar F-Type R and it highkey wakes up the chassis for a fraction of what coilovers cost. Also, the Eventuri Gloss Carbon Fiber Intake System for Jaguar F-Type is amazing for throttle response. It sounds incredible!! But yeah, lmk about the install plan first!

For your situation, watch out cuz tunes definitely void warranties... learned that the hard way and it sucks. Honestly tho, just grab:
- VelocityAP springs
- Eventuri intake
It'll feel way sharper, gl!
