Why it matters
The F-Type Project 7 was the first model from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations, a D-type-inspired speedster built in a run of 250, 80 of them for the UK. It was the most powerful Jaguar until the Project 8 and sold out before it was officially announced.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Derived from a concept, the Project 7 took the F-Type roadster, removed the roof in favour of a speedster body, and added a large front splitter, rear venturi and fixed wing, raising downforce by 177 per cent at top speed. Its supercharged 5-litre V8 drove through an eight-speed Quickshift automatic with bespoke calibration, and it was 45 kg lighter than the F-Type R. It lapped the Nürburgring in 7:35.
