Jaguar XE SV Project 8

The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 is a limited-production, high-performance version of the Jaguar XE four-door saloon, modified by Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations team and shown at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed. It has carbon fibre body panels with a front splitter and rear wing, 400 mm carbon ceramic front brake discs, and a supercharged, intercooled 592 hp version of the 5.0 litre Jaguar AJ-V8 engine. A standard car seats four in leather-trimmed bucket seats, while a track package not sold in the United States replaces the rear seats with a harness retention hoop. Production was limited to 300 cars worldwide, and in November 2017 a production-intent prototype lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes 21.23 seconds, a record for a saloon of production-intent specification.
