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.
