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.
