Jaguar has teased its upcoming limited-run XE SV Project 8 sports sedan in a quick online video, ahead of the new model’s reveal on June 28.
Based on the XE sedan, the SV Project 8 follows the F-Type Project 7 from 2014, and will become the most powerful road-legal Jaguar ever, thanks to its 441kW 5.0-litre supercharged V8.
Like Project 7, Project 8 will be a limited-run collector’s edition – with production capped at 300 units globally – set to be hand-made at the company’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) technical centre in Coventry.
In the above video, the XE SV Project 8 can be seen, albeit briefly, tackling the famous Nurburgring race track in Germany, hinting that the British company could be attempting to steal the four-door production car lap record set by the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (7 minutes 32 seconds).
Full details of the new Jaguar XE SV Project 8 will be revealed on June 28 with the vehicle, ahead of its “dynamic debut” at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which commences on June 30.
