Jaguar XE SV Project 8 - Is This Really a Four Door 911 GT3 Rival?

Today, courtesy of good guy and Jaguar fan David I get to drive the wild and wacky Project 8. Based on the XE, Jaguar's smallest car, the Project 8 takes the 5L Supercharged V8 from the F-Type SVR, turns it up to 11 and shoehorns it into a car never designed for it. Just how good is this limited run special?

Those Jag V8s make a dirty, dirty noise... 🤤 How they get that past the authorities for noise regs is a mystery.

[@testaccount4191]

i think they get to pass under a less strict noise reg due to the lack of sales

[@Fulloctanegarage]

I’ve had mine for over a year… put over 3k miles on it, most of them rally miles. It’s a beast. As quick as anything else on the rally and I can carry all their luggage too. If the real purpose of a car is to transport people and their belongings from point A to point B, nothing does that better than the P8.

I am the guy that invited David out in my 7 & 8, which then made him empty his car fund. I can’t understand why people get so hung up about sitting on left, I soon adjust my driving style to suit and just get on with it, if I could use it as my daily drive I would, but it’s not so good on a biulding site with the carbon bits. I have taken my 8 on to the track and it certainly holds its own and in the hands of a professional driver it’s something to behold. But having spent the weekend getting the car ready to drive off to Italy, I know I will get a really smug feeling when I exit the shuttle and the signs say remember to drive on the left!

[@colin5577]

Same. Lived in Germany for 8 years and now much prefer driving from the left hand seat. If you fly, this is the PIC seat as well, so the right hand seat really is the second best spot. MY problem with the 8 and 9 is that they’re automatics - sitting on the left doesn’t bother me at all. In the 8’s case, for that engine, chassis and those looks, I could probably maybe possibly in a weak moment even accept the gearbox.

[@samcas707]

I’m a huge fan of the ajv8. Sold my f-type r and ordered a new f-pace svr for new dad duties. The reason it’s lhd is because of where jag mount the front diff. Yes the 6 and 8 short blocks are same size, that was a fun debate on the jag forums many moons ago, but you cannot buy a rhd v6 awd either. I only wish jag had waited for the xe facelift before doing this special edition, then I’d be buying one out of EU. The recent facelifts of xe and xf, but especially f-pace, catapult this brand into a different league now and a true, and in some ways better, rival to the ubiquitous Germans. Also you actually want a torque converter auto in a positive displacement supercharged engine due to how the engine makes power off idle, dct’s by design are more laggy off the line and best suited to NA or turbo engines

[@stuco81]

As someone who is (potentially) looking at a used XE S (with the V6) I've noticed there is one with awd currently on autotrader. Are you saying that is a listing mistake by the dealer? I did wonder, as I've been browsing for a while and never noticed any others with awd!

[@Harpreet06]

How is the f-pace SVR like? I've got an RSQ3 right now but was looking at it as a potential replacement in a year of twos time. There's also the macan GTS which looks interesting.

[@timmietz]

Thank you for this review! I agree with almost what you said. I am not a JAG man In general, but I do own a project eight that I bought in July 2021. In fact, I bought the last brand-new, previously untitled Project 8 in the United States that were still in a dealers showroom. Overall, the car is amazing. What makes an amazing is driving dynamics, suspension set up the amazing exterior styling. As far as your initial question regarding how it compares to a GT3, I guess it depends on which specifications and generation of GT3 you are talking about. To me, it is definitely better than the 991.1 GT3. It is not as good as the 991.2 GT3RS what is it is definitely a lot more special as far as the rarity of the car. I own a 991.2 GT3 touring and I believe there’s a two cars of probably on par overall and, the Jaguars definitely a lot more stable at higher speeds because my Porsche does not have a wing.. On track, I can tell you that last fall, we took my jaguar in by GT4 PDK car to ROEBLING Rd., Raceway in Georgia and every single one of us was faster in the Jaguar than the GT4 on Michelin CUP2 tires. finally, I recently became a proud owner of a brand new M5CS. BMW is clearly faster, especially at higher speeds. However, due to its smaller size, more aggressive and more meaty tire sizes in the back and a more track suspension set up, jaguar definitely feels more nimble and more special. Jaguar is definitely the best sedan I’ve ever owned and in my little collection, it falls behind only the magnificent 997.2 GT3RS, the Scuderia, and the STO. I would rate just above the 991.2 GT3 TOURING and my Heritage GT350R.

[@2006Vantage]

[@johnrodgers6049]

Not sure about the cat stickers. Looks a little too “tuner” for me. Beast of a car though. I suspect it is left hand drive simply because as you said with the packaging they probably had to choose one side or the other. Something like 165/195 countries in the world drive on the right side of the road (left hand drive car). Simple math which side you choose.

[@murrieteacher]

Thanks James, I have watched Harry's project 8 drives and enjoyed them. And Now James, you have put the icing on the cake with a very different video that I also enjoyed. Sadly the project cars never made it to Australia. I cannot imagine the reaction the regulators here would have had. It seems every time I watch another of your videos it ends in envy.

[@ahemgee9542]

For a Supercharged V8 saloon with AWD, and heavy duty transmission and large brakes etc 1725 kg is an acceptable weight. Remember it wasn't build as a race car but rather a converted production car. Also you'll find that a Supercharged XJR is 200 kg heavier, and it's only RWD.

[@zzhughesd]

Cricky what a pair of back to back Jag days. Cannot get any more raw Jag that this pair.

[@jonfrank2566]

I think there were 2 other reasons it didn't sell. There was never an M3/RS4/C63 version of the XE so this car represented a huge leap over the standard car which a lot of people found difficult to get their heads around. Would you buy a £150k version of a Vauxhall Insignia no matter how good it was ? And the decals were awful. I know they were a no cost delete option, but gave the whole project a Max Power whiff about it.... Not sure it would sell even now. Certainly current second hand values are nothing special. When a car is perceived as "failing" it takes a long time for market sentiment to change usually. Look how long it took for XJ220 values to rise.....

[@tavirosu25]

Also you could have gotten an XF-R (same V8 with 50-70hp less) in a bigger sedan for half the price than this. And LHD/RHD version and w/e options you want. So basicly only a Jag die hard fan would have ever purchased this and with no RHD...almost no british one wanted it.

[@ChrisDorgan]

Your right, they missed a complete trick not making it RHD. Insanity. In comparison to the Alfa Giulia AM Price it’s a bargain. Would love something like this as a daily haha and I think a lot more people would have bought it like you say if it was RHD, especially now on used market at 90k

[@kyleholloway3470]

I saw one of these on the A3, just before the M25. It was a grey one in what I can only imagine was the touring trim due to a lack of a wing.

[@paul1978g]

Top stuff again James. I agree with you, had Jaguar been bold enough and sunk the money into making a RHD version, they would have sold double what they did without much worry. I've always been gobsmacked my Harry M's lovely purple example, and I so fervently wish more examples of this jaw dropping, horizon assaulting machine had made it to market. One of those genuinely seminal moments in Jaguar's production life.

[@Spica1000]

Might have sold better if jaguar had advertised it more! I certainly never knew of its existence! Mind you , at that price I don’t think it matters much for most people anyway !

Not being available in RHD is completely unforgivable

[@R03333]

Maybe I'm alone in thinking it but I feel a car should always be designed for the country it comes from. Imagine a mustang only coming in RHD? Jag missed the mark choosing numbers over the ethos with this one.

The LHD Problem isnt really a problem. I have driven my LHD BMW for 6 years in the UK. After a while you can even use it to your advantage. The Meridian is amazing in the P8. It is bespoke to the P8, much better than in the Fpace SVR for instance. These are the two points I have to disagree but the rest of this video is great! Well done!

Your theory on why only LHD is well off the mark...think about what OEMs have to do for certification & also how sensitive anything which requires unique tooled parts....especially when you only have a few hundred units to amortise the resulting 100's of thousand pounds over (100k doesn't buy much certification testing or production level tooling by the way).....that is the reason why LHD only, nothing to do with complacency.

[@SB-vb8ch]

Also consider an OEM offering this level of unique content for £150k....it's not a back street garage built affair. I think it's fairly amazing compared to what other OEMs charge for "off the peg" offerings. Plus it's proven performance is undisputed. Proper bit of kit.

Thanks for a great review, there is not much good video about on the Project 8 and it has obviously attracted quite a few owners! I bought mine earlier in the year and I love it. It replaced a Giulia Qadrifoglio and it is a much better developed car. Day one with the Giulia and I was already writing a list of things that needed improving (exhaust, crap Pirelli track tyres, fix the brake feel problem etc.) My list for the Project 8 is precisely zero. Because it is not turbocharged the engine has a level of get up and go at any speed that the Ferrari derived engine in the Giulia simply can't match. It also handles better and gives you a greater level of confidence on road because of the 4WD and bespoke suspension. Most cars have now done somewhere around 2,000 to 4,000 miles at the moment and are selling at auction for around £100K or £115-£120K through a dealer. Future values? Just remember Jaguar built 75 D Types in total in the 1950s and had a hard time selling all of them! The Project 8 is truly one of the last great V8s and I plan to keep mine for a long time.

What about a review of the new RS3?

[@MM-fz1vx]

Left hand drive was only options. 4 wheel drive would not have been possible if right hand drive

Great review mate! almost bought one of these 2 years ago when these babies were between $120-135K now they are looking like they are slowly declining. Aside from that.......Jay, When you coming back to the states? We still have to Collab at some of the tracks here...Limerock, Watkins Glen etc.. speak soon.
