It begins with a normal Jaguar XE, however its heart has been replaced with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that will produce around 600 horsepower, which will visit to all 4 wheels.

The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 will be the 2nd automobile in the automaker’s Collectors’ Edition, which likewise consists of the F-Type Project 7 from 2014. Like the F-Type, the XE SV Project 8 will have a restricted run. Jaguar will only construct 300 examples for the whole world, all which will be hand developed at Jaguar’s center in Coventry, England.

In the meantime, we can guess it’s not simply your typical XE with a giant motor under the hood. The front bumper loads more aggressive aerodynamics, and there’s a honkin’ wing out back to keep the vehicle from taking off.
