Janguar XE Project 8 is a joyously crazy, incredibly fast, delightfully iconoclastic super-sedan
Sketching on a paper napkin, Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations engineers initially focused Project 8 as a 600-horsepower track day missile, a razor-edged car only nominally road-legal. Project 8 debuted at Laguna Seca during Monterey Car Week in 2017, a classic marketing effort to stir up the order bank for the maximum 300 Project 8s to be built.
The office. Ample headroom, and legroom for NBA point guards. It’s a comfortable, upright and roomy place to conduct business. More than adequate adjustment to steering wheel reach and angle.Project 8 is one of the most engaging road machines I’ve driven in years, with capabilities to delight any skilled driver, and a couple of minor eccentricities that demand limited compromise from its master.
Rear seat will do for short trip to dinner. Or better still, with calibration set to COMFORT, Project 8 will make an exciting ride for a wine country weekend.A center differential off the side of the transmission shoots up to 50 percent of power forward when scrabbling hard through a mountain hairpin. When Jaguar first announced an F-type with all-wheel drive, I thought they would ruin the car, making it an Audi.
Transmission and related all-wheel drive system was first proven in the F-type SVR. It has been neatly adapted to life in an upright 4-door sedan. Shifts are accomplished in 200 milliseconds, rivaling dual-clutch gearboxes.Which leads to one of the two areas where the owner must compromise. One can soften up the damping, but the springs are still biased toward life on-track.
