THE Jaguar XE SV Project 8 it's the proverbial beast and unashamed of being. Despite having XE in the name, the SV Project 8 has undergone so many changes from the XE to become this 600hp fire-breather that it could have been a model on its own.
If no one complains about the performance or the driving experience, what's for sure is that the XE SV Project 8 is exuberant, perhaps too much — after all, it's a Jaguar… where's the class and grace it's known for?
The British brand thus decided to lower the tone, creating a new Touring specification , with a more stradistan focus and also more discreet, as far as possible.
The rear wing was left out, replaced by a more discreet spoiler over the trunk lid; and also the bold decor. There are four body colors to choose from: Velocity Blue, like the car in the pictures, Valencia Orange, Corris Gray Satin and the classic British Racing Green. The interior lost its roll cage, getting the rear seats back.

The British brand ends up defining the XE SV Project 8 Touring as a Q-car, in other words, the classic “wolf in sheep's clothing” or can we call it a “sleeper”?
The performance is maintained in relation to the other XE SV Project 8, except for the value of the maximum speed, which is now limited to “only” 300 km/h, instead of the 320 km/h of the others.
the most exclusive
Despite being the most civilized of the XE SV Project 8, it will also be the most exclusive. Only 15 units will be produced with this Touring specification — total production is 300 units.
