Jaguar refines XE SV Project 8 ahead of production

Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations announced that the engineering fine-tuning on the world's fastest road-going sedan has almost finished, ahead of production starting in June. Since its public debut at last July's Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 has undergone numerous enhancements to ensure it remains the fastest and most thrilling of all road-legal, four-door sedans.

"The fastest high-performance sedan in the world just keeps getting better," said John Edwards, Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations Managing Director. "The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 development team at Special Vehicle Operations keep pushing boundaries - the drive to do that is in our designers' and engineers' blood."

Unlike most high-performance production sedans, the all-wheel drive XE SV Project 8 is studded with genuine motor racing technology. This includes, as standard, adjustable ride height, adjustable camber, an adjustable front splitter and rear wing, a flat underbody, a differential oil cooler, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 road-legal track tyres on forged 20-inch wheels - a production car first - and ceramic wheel bearings similar to those used in grand prix cars.
