The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 Is A 592bhp Super Saloon Weapon
Two years after launching the XE, Jaguar still hasn’t whipped up a hot ‘XE SVR’. The company insists it has no plans to either. However, what it has done is make a really hot, limited-edition XE, and it’s called the SV Project 8.
Only 300 will be built, each with a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 up front making 592bhp. Yep, nearly 600bhp - that’s BMW M5/Mercedes-AMG E63 levels of power in a compact saloon. If you listen carefully, you’ll probably be able to hear an M3 crying in the corner.
Jaguar isn’t divulging a whole lot right now, and indeed hasn’t given us a full look at the car without camouflage. We can however see it’s packing some quite serious aero, and Jag has revealed that the car has been testing at the Nurburgring - expect some sort of bonkers lap time to be revealed in the near future.
The XE SV is the second ‘Collectors’ Edition’ car from by Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations - the first being the F-Type Project 7 - and will be hand-built at the SVO Technical Centre in Coventry.
All this begs the question: why not make a lightly watered down, mass production version? If the V8 fits in the XE’s engine bay, it’d be rude not to. Go on Jaguar, you know you want to…

Don’t forget it’s also a v8
Well that’s GR8 M8 R8 it out of 8, 8/8 IS GR8 M8 no H8 when u R8 it out of 8 M8 plz give 8/8 cuz it’s a V8 and that’s a GR8 R8ing out of 8 M8, be a GR8 M8 pls M8 and R8 it GR8 out of 8 M8. Don’t H8 M8, M8’s don’t give H8 M8, give it a GR8 R8ing M8. Don’t determine my F8 M8 by a not so GR8 R8ing out of 8 M8. Making F8 by a 8/8 is what GR8 M8’s do. F8’s from M8’s that give 1/8 is not so GR8, M8 its H8 F8 M8 of /8 M8!
