THE MOST EXTREME PERFORMANCE JAGUAR VEHICLE EVER
With 592 hp from a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, the Project 8 is the most powerful street-legal Jaguar vehicle in history. Total production will be strictly limited to 300 cars worldwide, each one hand-assembled at the SVO Technical Centre in Warwickshire, England. Prototype versions have been running at proving grounds across Europe, the most famous of which is the Nürburgring Nordschleife. 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.

PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY
Engineered to be the world’s most exhilarating sports sedan, the 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 lower setting for the track.

MORE POWER, LESS WEIGHT
The heart of the car is the legendary Jaguar supercharged V8. But speed and driving exhilaration aren’t just about power. The Jaguar-pioneered lightweight aluminum architecture combined with the extensive use of carbon fiber in the Project 8 – for the hood, bumpers, fenders, side skirts, front splitter and rear spoiler – keep weight to a minimum.
SIGNATURE FEATURES
-
REAR SPOILER
The Project 8 body has been extensively redesigned to offer aerodynamic performance essential for a 322 km/h car. This includes an adjustable deep front splitter, rear diffuser and a large adjustable rear spoiler. The spoiler’s angle of attack can be fine-tuned either to reduce drag or maximize downforce – producing up to 122 kg of downforce once you reach 300 km/h.
-
BRAKES
The supercharged V8 engine and lightweight body assure astonishing performance. But stopping power is just as important for a 322 km/h car. The Project 8 has the largest and most technologically advanced brakes ever fitted to a Jaguar vehicle – vast 400 mm carbon ceramic discs with 6 huge piston calipers up front. They’re light too, saving almost 18 kg.
-
A REAL CONNECTION TO THE ROAD
All Wheel Drive ensures superb responsiveness, traction and agility. No Jaguar vehicle feels more ‘alive’. The handling is rear-drive biased, like a two-door supercar. The Intelligent Driveline Dynamics includes an electronic active rear differential, as part of the advanced computer-controlled drive setup. For ultimate performance, the Project 8 has a uniquely tuned version of Adaptive Dynamics that includes a new Track Mode.
-
RACING SEATS
Project 8 features four seats trimmed in Ebony leather with Oyster contrast stitching. The front pair are special lightweight magnesium-framed Performance seats.
-
PERSONALIZED TO YOU
The Project 8 is offered in 3 standard colours, as well as five optional SVO Premium Palette colours. To make the car truly unique – a genuine one-off – choose the Bespoke by SVO edition. This includes a choice of 10,000 further body and accent colours plus bespoke racing-inspired decals, painted brake calipers, commissioning plaque and much more.
-
WHEELS
The special lightweight forged alloy wheels are stronger and lighter than conventional cast alloy, delivering superior handling and ride quality. Unique carbon inserts reduce drag by 7 counts, while specially developed Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires combine outstanding grip with comfort – making them perfect for road or track.
