Unit Jaguar Land Rover SVO presented Jaguar XE SV Project 8

Unit with a long name Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) announced his creation – the Jaguar XE SV Project 8. Representatives of the company talk about, no less, "the fast, powerful and extreme Jaguar." The car was tested on the Nordschleife, and even camouflage to create exclusive.

Jaguar XE Project 8 SV equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 compressor with a capacity of 600 L. S. Project 8 will be the second exclusive work of the unit SVO, after the success of their first son, Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 in 2014. In the SVO technical centre, will be manually built 300 cars that go to collectors all over the world. From the title it is clear that "car" is built on the basis of a sedan of Jaguar XE. This is probably where the similarity ends, as the car with such output characteristics, had to undergo significant changes and chassis, and interior.

Despite the camouflage, we can see a significantly extended wheel arches, a huge bumper with a wide throat, side air duct and a lower splitter. Also, the film does not prevent us to see the "exaggerated" hood with a huge air vent. Side of the body, the bottom ends are not the usual "skirt", and almost a wing, which plays an important role in the aerodynamics of the car.

Top business unit Manager at SVO, John Edwards, said: "it Is time for SVO to create the most extreme car in the history of Jaguar. Team Special Operations Vehicle, possessed by the spirit of performance, sought to create a vehicle with the most exciting driving experience. Our customers all over the world praised the F-Type Project 7 8. New SV XE Project 8 raises the bar of performance technique and aerodynamics to a new level – it is intended for true connoisseurs and the most discerning collectors. The price of this car will match his characteristics."

All the technical characteristics of Jaguar XE SV Project 8 will be posted by the manufacturer on June 28 of this year on the company's official website. Will have to wait another month before we will show the car without camouflage and from all angles. It is particularly interesting to learn about suspension settings and the ways chosen by the developer, to improve the rigidity of the body. About quotas by country manufacturer didn't say anything, because it is likely that the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 will be available in Russia. But it's a possibility, as 300 exclusive of "jagga" for the whole world – a drop in the ocean.

Recall that the "civilian" version of the Jaguar XE can be bought in Russia at a price of 2.2 million rubles - this is a basic modification of the vehicle with a 2.0-liter turboservice. Top XE is equipped with a V6 3.0 l with the turbine and a power of 380 HP, the Price of this Jaguar is almost 3.8 million rubles.
