Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) has announced the most powerful, agile and extreme performance Jaguar - the new XE SV Project 8. A prototype version of the 592bhp Jaguar sports sedan offering supercar performance has now undertaken its debut test at the gruelling Nurburgring Nordschleife, adorned with an exclusive camouflage created by SVO Design.

With the most highly-tuned version of Jaguar Land Rover's 5.0-litre supercharged V8, Project 8 will become the second Collectors' Edition vehicle from SVO, following the successful launch of Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 in 2014. No more than 300 cars, all hand-assembled at SVO's Technical Centre in Coventry, U.K. will be created for sale worldwide.

Full specification details for the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 will be revealed at www.Jaguar.com on 28^th June, ahead of its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex in the U.K. on 30^th June.
