For Sale at Auction: 2019 Jaguar XE in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. SAJAP4FE0KS487851



Conceived by Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) as a
road-legal track car, the XE SV Project 8 represented the most extreme evolution
of the XE platform. Beneath its largely bespoke bodywork-sharing only its front
doors and roof with the standard sedan-sat a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 rated at
592 horsepower, driving all four wheels through an eight-speed ZF automatic.
Carbon-ceramic brakes, manually adjustable carbon-fiber aero elements, and a
track ride-height setting gave the model genuine circuit credentials,
demonstrated when it claimed the production sedan lap record at the N�rburgring
Nordschleife with a remarkable time of 7 minutes and 21 seconds.



Production was capped at just 300 cars, each exceeding $187,500 when new, though
it is believed only about 220 were actually produced. U.S.-bound examples, very
few in number, were delivered without the Track Pack's rear-seat delete, adding
a touch of practicality, yet all Project 8s remained decidedly focused, with
widened bodywork and highly developed chassis tuning that made every drive feel
like a timed run. To date, this exclusive super saloon remains the last of its
type to emerge from Jaguar's SVO division, combining record-breaking performance
with limited-production exclusivity.



Hand-assembled at the SVO Technical Center in Warwickshire, the Project 8 on
offer is a left-hand-drive, U.S. specification example in SVO Velocity Blue
Ultra Metallic with a black Project 8 decal stripe and Leaper side graphics. Its
exterior features a carbon-fiber heat-extracting hood, rear diffuser, bumper
covers, and a manually adjustable front splitter and rear wing, while
gloss-black 20-inch alloy wheels frame yellow calipers over carbon-ceramic
rotors at all four corners. The interior was appointed in Ebony and Light Oyster
St. Windsor leather with contrasting silver stitching and embroidered Project 8
headrest logos, complemented by carbon-fiber trim on the center console and door
entry plates.



The accompanying clean CARFAX report records initial delivery through Land Rover
Jaguar South Atlanta in Union City, Georgia, in February 2020 and first
registration in Arkansas later that year. The car enjoyed meticulous enthusiast
ownership with routine maintenance performed by Jaguar Land Rover Volkswagen of
Little Rock through early 2024, at which time it relocated to Texas showing
approximately 5,859 miles. It is complete with its original window sticker,
dossier of recent records, owner's manuals with original supplements in their
leather folio, two sets of keys, as well as emergency accessories. It is now
offered with just 6,484 miles from its Texas-based caretaker-an attractively
specified and sparingly used example of Jaguar's flagship track-focused sedan,
presenting a strong addition to a curated stable of limited-production Jaguars.
