Description
Project 8 is a hand-built four-door saloon with supercar performance – designed to thrill driving enthusiasts with an extraordinary combination of explosive power, dynamic agility, and all-wheel drive traction. To ensure exclusivity, just 300 examples were built, each assembled at SVO’s Technical Centre in Coventry.
The car is powered by the most highly-tuned version of Jaguar Land Rover’s 5-litre supercharged V8 petrol powertrain featuring a Titanium Variable Active Exhaust and offering 600PS (592bhp) and 516lb/ft of torque complemented by Jaguar’s All-Wheel Drive system and motorsport-derived aerodynamics to deliver a 200mph top speed and 0-60mph in a remarkable 3.3 seconds, making Project 8 the fastest accelerating Jaguar road car yet.
Based upon the entry-level Jaguar XE Saloon, the Project 8 was conceived by Jaguar to be 'the most extreme performance Jaguar ever created'. Carbon fibre panels include bumpers with enhanced cooling ducts, the bonnet, front air splitter, side skirts, adjustable rear spoiler, rear diffuser and adjustable rear aerodynamic wing. The result was the lightest V8 saloon in the range combined with lift reduced by 205% and a claimed 122kg of downforce at 186mph, with the Project 8 happily continuing onwards to 200mph.
The example we are thrilled to offer for sale is a 2019 car finished in Fuji White over an Ebony leather & Alcantara interior with white contrast stitching and embroidered ‘Project 8’ text on the headrests. The car was originally supplied as a racing version and was one of just 20 cars built for a private race series involving a handpicked selection of Project 8 owners. Unfortunately, the race series never properly got off the ground and the owner carried out just one race in the car.
It has since been fully converted by Jaguar back to road going 'Track Pack' spec and features lightweight carbon-fibre racing seats, no rear seats, a harness retention hoop, 20-inch lightweight ‘Style 5096’ alloy wheels with gloss black finish, a contrasting roof in Narvik Black, heated door mirrors, and four-point seatbelt harness for maximum hold out on track.
Now showing just over 1,600 miles from new and maintaining a full Jaguar main dealer service history, this Project 8 is ready to thrill on and off the track. Contact us now for more information or to arrange a viewing.
