XE SV Project 8

Why it matters

The XE SV Project 8 was the second Collector's Edition from Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations, following the F-TYPE Project 7. At launch Jaguar described it as its most powerful road car, and it was the first road-legal Jaguar with the 600PS version of the supercharged 5.0-litre V8. Production was capped at 300 cars worldwide.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Jaguar revealed the XE SV Project 8 in June 2017, ahead of its public debut at Goodwood. SVO developed it from the XE saloon, with the supercharged V8 tuned to 600PS, an eight-speed Quickshift transmission and all-wheel drive. Jaguar quoted 0–60mph in 3.3 seconds and a 200mph top speed, and stated that no more than 300 would be made.
