Default Jaguar Project 7










Quote:
This is the Jaguar Project 7, a design study based on the F-type convertible that will run at this weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

As well as evoking the spirit of the Jaguar D-type and Jaguar’s Le Mans history, the Project 7 gives a further indication that Jaguar is preparing to launch an extreme version of the F-type. The latest reports suggest that the new hardcore F-type will get at least 650bhp and, potentially, four-wheel drive.

The Project 7, named in homage to Jaguar’s seven Le Mans wins, is billed as a one-off design study created at the behest of design director Ian Callum. He said: “Project 7 has the kind of racing-inspired form that designers dream about. It has one purpose: to be driven fast and enjoyed. Jaguar sports cars are known for exceptional performance and clean design. Project 7 captures that spirit in its purest form.”


His vision has been backed by Jaguar’s engineering team, which has given the car a 542bhp version of Jaguar’s 5.0-litre supercharged engine, with 501lb ft of torque, as found in the Jaguar XJR and XKR-S. That’s 54bhp and 41lb ft more than the range-topping F-type V8 S.

It also sits 10mm lower than a standard F-type, has retuned springs and dampers and features a free-flow exhaust system with a ceramic finish. Jaguar claims a 0-60mph time of 4.1sec, a 50-75mph time of 2.4sec and a limited top speed of 186mph.
