Jaguar XE SV Project 8 1000ml trip to Modena via German Autobahn

Join me on a 1000 mile blast across Europe in the Jaguar XE SV Project 8. Snow became a major problem, as you're about to find out..

[@DanielSadjadian]

Yeah I was just thinking that. Germany home of the Nürburgring, Autobahns, AMG, Porsche, etc...... how could they possibly give us the unlimited speed limits. No way!!!! I've driven through Germany a few times, loved every second of it!!!

I always painted my rims gold in NFS Most Wanted. Seeing Harry doing the same makes me so happy.

You wouldn't necessarily think a purple car with gold wheels would look good, but it looks fantastic . (Mind you, I'm less keen on the drawing of the Jaguar down the side.)

[@johncollymore1697]

Such a good video from Harry - as always. Lovely car too - if Harry loves it, I love it. Many thanks for your channel, Harry.

[@alfonsodriver1324]

Love how you just causally mention that a camera flashed you, or that you nicked the front corner of the splitter and sustained damage.... any of the other youtubers would have made a multiple click bait video series

[@adriansmith76]

the difference between those ' get the most views'morons and a true car guy with nothing to prove.

[@djmandrick]

Those youtubers need the money to fund their current life. Harry has already funded his life and wants share his love of cars. If youtube shut down tomorrow he wouldn't be affected in the slightest, we just wouldn't see it anymore. Even with no views and no sponsor he'd still be financially liquid where a new splitter or speeding fine is nothing more than a slight inconvenience of paperwork.

[@erichakanson7010]

Harry, thank you so much not only for actually driving this car but documenting it so the rest of us can enjoy it as well. IIRC, Jaguar was limiting production to 300 (?) , making them somewhat of an "instant collectible." I talked with a couple Project 8 owners last year at Pebble Beach and they had no real plans to drive it. They were just going to tuck it away in a nice warm garage, keep the miles off of it, and watch it increase in value. I really hope those guys are watching the videos you've made on this fantastic car. Because not driving it is a travesty and a disservice to both car and owner. Great job Harry! Thanks mate!

[@johntechwriter]

Rich "collectors" . . . they know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

s you probably know, Harry was a consultant on the build.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Another great video Harry, I've just come back from a very similar trip in my M2 on winters, amazing what difference a tyre can make, I managed 167mph (indicated) in mine before the limiter called time, the winter rubber was moving around a bit when I came off the accelerator. I also actually stayed in that Bruges Hotel last year, it was brilliant and nice car friendly as you say. Finally, I still cant believe I sat on your table at the What Car awards, wish I had the balls to talk to you, didn't even get a chance to say hello, maybe next year. Cheers and keep up the mega content. Cheers Joe

[@erichakanson7010]

I love (and subscribe to) your videos as well Joe. Great stuff you're doing. In fact, I was toying with the idea of buying a new Cayman but after watching your M2 Comp video, I've decided to take a serious look at one of those. Anyway, it's good to see you over here at Harry's channel. IMHO, you and Sam Moores have the most underrated (or "under-subscribed") channels on KZbin. Keep up the good work! Cheers mate!

[@timmietz]

Interesting. US version on the M2 Comp is limited to 174MPH.

[@iiredeyeiiredeye1569]

Harry congratulations...Not only are you actually living all my automotive fantasies, but you also run the best automotive channel on youtube. There's a very good reason why you are a wealthy man... well done!

[@GTIracerr]

30.5 MPG (as can be seen at 7.36) is excellent for a V8. Stunning car, Harry. And a great video!

[@DanielSadjadian]

Yeah I'm amazed by that. Even AMGs efficient 4.0l V8 gets about 28mpg at the most (on a long trip) - it even has cylinder deactivation....

I find Harry to be such a bad influence, his passion is infectious. I've never ridden or been interested in motorbikes in my life, but after watching his Moroccan specials, I was convinced I had to have one. Now he's left me with an itch to go and drive the autobahn! Thanks for sharing this trip Harry, love it!

[@TheAslakVind]

Dear Harry! Please keep your inner child, it makes for so entertaining videos. Your passion and eagerness to share your toys. Impressed with the Project 8, so versatile. And that sound. And watching you stomping at the bit to drive that beauty at the end! YES!

[@5amH45lam]

Quarter throttle - 150mph. I think the Jaguar design team were 'on something' the week this car was dreamed up. And the world is that bit better, as a result. What a car! 😎

[@jimkai5413]

Your life is an adventure Harry, it’s wonderful to see that you drive the cars and you’re not afraid to use them. Don’t bother coming to Melbourne, the fastest we can go is 110klm/h, well legally that is. Awesome video, can’t wait to see the violet lambo. Cheers from down under.

It would matter on how it would fare against the Cadillac CTSV, considering it is faster than the E63S and M5.
