A high performance variant of the Jaguar XE, the SV Project 8 was first brought to the public during the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The standard XE was modified by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) to produce this superlight, track weapon sedan. The SV Project 8 had ceramic brake discs, carbon fibre body panels, aerodynamic aids, bucket seats and a supercharged 5.0L engine producing 595hp. Only a total of 300 examples of the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 were built.
