Jaguar SVO unleashes extreme XE
The 441 kW 5.0-litre V8 will make Project 8 the most powerful road legal Jaguar in history.
Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) announced its most powerful, agile and extreme performance Jaguar yet, the new XE SV Project 8.
A prototype version of the 441 kW Jaguar sports sedan, offering supercar performance, has now undertaken its debut test at the gruelling Nürburgring Nordschleife, adorned with an exclusive camouflage created by SVO Design.
With the most highly tuned version of Jaguar Land Rover’s five-litre supercharged V8, Project 8 will become the second Collectors’ Edition vehicle from SVO, following the successful launch of Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 in 2014. No more than 300 cars, all hand-assembled at SVO’s Technical Centre in Coventry, will be created for sale worldwide. The XE SV Project 8 will only be available in left-hand drive. None are destined for sale in Southern Africa.
“The time is right for SVO to produce the most extreme performance road car in the history of Jaguar. The SVO team is possessed by the spirit of performance and committed to creating the most thrilling driving experience imaginable,” said John Edwards, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations. “Our clients worldwide were thrilled by the F-TYPE Project 7.
"The new XE SV Project 8 takes aerodynamics and performance engineering to another level and was conceived for enthusiasts and the most discerning collectors. The price for such an extreme performance sports car available in strictly limited numbers will reflect that,” he added.
Full specification details for Jaguar XE SV Project 8 will be released on 28 June 2017, ahead of its world debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex in the UK, on 30 June. - Motorpress
