Description
Project 8 is the fastest Jaguar saloon ever. Its 5. 0 litre supercharged V8 produces 600PS and 700Nm of torque, making it the most powerful engine ever fitted to a Jaguar road car. Maximum speed is 200mph and 0-60mph takes just 3. 3 seconds. While the car’s 8-speed transmission can manually paddle shift in just 0. 2 seconds – faster than the blink of an eye. Project 8 has achieved the fastest lap ever for a Jaguar on the Nordschleife, faster than any other four door production-intent sedan in history and faster than many renowned supercars. Total production was limited to 300 cars worldwide, each one hand-assembled at the SVO Technical Centre in Warwickshire, England. Engineered to be the world’s most exhilarating sports saloon, Project 8 uses motor sport derived suspension and a modified All Wheel Drive system for outstanding driver feel and agility. Damper mounts are ball-jointed to improve response and there are two ride heights – one for the road and a 15mm lower setting for the track. The heart of the car is Jaguar’s legendary supercharged V8. But speed and driving exhilaration aren’t just about power, Jaguar’s pioneering Lightweight Aluminium Architecture combined with Project 8’s extensive use of carbon fibre – for the bonnet, bumpers, fenders, side skirts and front splitter keep weight to a minimum.
This particular car is finished in Bespoke Opalescent Dark Green and has covered just under two thousand miles from new. The Project 8 is an incredibly rare car, this car being rarer still as it has the "Track Pack" which features Carbon Fibre Sabelt seats, Sabelt harnesses, multi-point harness retention hoop in place of the rear seats, and a fire extinguisher fitted to the rear bulkhead. Offered for sale here directly from Jaguar Classic. Sold with 12 Months Warranty and Roadside Assistance.
