A digital mashup by jlord8 on Instagram has car enthusiasts buzzing about a hypothetical Jaguar XE SV Project 8 Sportbrake.
This imaginative wagon combines the sleek lines of the XE SV Project 8 with the practicality of a spacious cargo area. Limited to just 300 units seven years ago, the original XE SV Project 8 was a track-oriented monster crafted by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division.
Available in three flavors a full-seater, a track-focused lightweight variant, and a Touring model with a subtler look the XE SV Project 8 boasted a mighty 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive for phenomenal power and agility.
A rare gem from Jaguar, the XE SV Project 8, boasts impressive performance credentials. Packing a mighty 592 horsepower engine, it rockets from 0 to 100 kph in a mere 3.5 seconds and achieves a staggering top speed of 200 mph.
But this beast isn’t just about brute force. It features a suite of aerodynamic enhancements like an adjustable splitter and a flat underbody panel, along with lightweight carbon fiber components for a sharper driving experience.
Upgraded suspension and powerful carbon ceramic brakes ensure the car can handle its immense power with precision. While this is a dream car for many, the production version was limited to a mere 300 units and lacked the functionality of a wagon.
But that hasn’t stopped car enthusiasts from envisioning a more practical version that blends everyday usability with exhilarating performance.
