The #jaguar #xesvproject8 has set a new #record for a four-door sedan of production specification at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The time of 7min 21.23 secs, set by #racing driver Vincent Radermecker, is 11 seconds quicker than the previous fastest sports sedan around the legendary 12.9-mile German circuit.
Project 8 is the most extreme road-legal #jaguar yet built. Its 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine develops 600PS, with 0-60mph in a supercar-beating 3.3 seconds and a maximum speed of 200mph.
SVO exists to push the boundaries of performance, luxury and all-terrain capability. The hand-assembled #xesvproject8 takes that principle to the limit, extracting supercar-beating performance from Jaguar’s most compact four-door sedan. The Nürburgring Nordschleife #record underlines our commitment to deliver the most extreme #jaguar ever to Project 8 clients, who will soon experience this sensational sedan for themselves.
JOHN EDWARDSMANAGING DIRECTOR OF #jaguar LAND ROVER SPECIAL OPERATIONSThe incredible lap time places the #jaguar #xesvproject8 ahead of some of the world’s fastest two-door coupés and mid-engined supercars around the circuit known as ‘The Green Hell’.
With the most highly tuned version of #jaguar Land Rover’s 5.0-litre supercharged V8 under its vented carbon fibre bonnet, Project 8 is the second Collectors’ Edition vehicle from SVO. Hand assembly of cars destined for customers worldwide begins at SVO’s Technical Centre in Coventry, UK, in early 2018. No more than 300 examples will be created, available as a four-seater or with optional two-seat Track Pack.
