The Project 8 - The best drivers car Jaguar have ever made ? [Part 2 of 2]

[@layyah0905]

The P8 for me.. So capable and a towering achievement.

[@stevemilsom4365]

I was lucky enough to drive a project 8 a couple of weeks ago , what a machine ! Absolutely amazing car

[@adambunn8103]

Mega cars, both of them. I'd just started working for JLR when they were releasing the f type, and they used to keep the batch and hold cars outside of our maintenance workshop. Working in the press shop, our workshop was a sound proofed room but you could still here the 5.0 v8's fire up all the time. They Always put a smile on my face

[@PetrolPed]

Awesome 😎

[@jeffcarter7197]

I own 3 Jaguars, looks like I'm adding another one to my garage! What a car the project 8 is.

[@PetrolPed]

It’s a corker 👍

[@iansneddon74]

Project 8 for me. The owner of these vehicles sounds like he may have some interesting stories to tell. Could make for an interesting video.

[@PetrolPed]

I hope to go and do his other cars one day 👍

[@jeffabbott463]

Project 8 for me mate I think! That rasp from the engine reminds me of an old Alfa!

[@stephankrueger918]

Project 8 for me! What a cathedral of a car! I wonder what the sound is like sitting behind the wheel. Listening to it via earpods was just amazing. Its great that Mike lets you experience his extraordinary heavenly cars for all of us. So a big thank you from an enthusiastc Peddler to the other. Above all, what a privilege to see you Pete sitting on the right side behind the wheel 😜

[@guylambrechts2303]

I'd go for the 8 as a daily, buy a 2 liter F-type for the weekends and ask a coach builder to reproduce the gorgeous bump on the boot. What a pair! Locked myself up on the...you know and enjoyed every second of this video! Thank you sir.

[@PetrolPed]

Great acoustics 😜😂

[@andrewkb5211]

For driving, the Project 8, for emotional involvement, the Project 7. Ultimately, for me it would have be the Project 7, but by a cat's whisker! Hat's off to Mike for sharing such rare and exquisite cars with us. Many thanks 👍. Andrew KB

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Andrew 👍

[@EA40]

This is actually the first time in months I've seen a Petrol Ped video in my feed the moment it actually came out! Now if only that could happen with the mid-week 180 videos, rather than 3 minutes after the hour...

[@MrDws1960]

Crikey mate you are having it hard in life at the moment, feel for you! ........... Greetings from the Philippines :-)

[@PetrolPed]

LOL 😂

[@alastairhonaker1155]

I've got xj 2014 would love one beast

[@duanelegglarry3365]

Wouldn't have missed the ride along with you in the dash 8 for anything. Wow! You are right. She's something special. Can't help but love the V8's. Would love to take her out on some special roads here in America for a few days. That engine sound reminded me of the 66 427 big block Corvett I had back in the day. I was 28 then. Still love it just as much to day. Thanks my friend. Shalom

[@PetrolPed]

Awesome 😎

[@johnbrown3951]

The wait was worth it. Project 8 for me. Hardtop & huge wing for the kid still in me.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@jamiep61]

Enjoyed watching part two featuring the Project 8 based on the XE Saloon

[@PetrolPed]

Great to hear 👍

[@jamiep61]

I would choose the Project 8 as my choice

[@DuaneCaldwell]

Mike, you are a fortunate man for having such beautiful cars, but you are a great man for sharing them with Petrol Ped and all of us Peddlers! That Project 7 is fantastic, but I think I would go with the Project 8. Brilliant!

[@PetrolPed]

He is indeed a legend 👍

[@philr9753]

Fantastic video Pete, this is my first posting on your Channel. The smiles on your face tell the whole story! I remember your review of the XE-S back in the day, that heavily informed my choice of car and I bought the XE-S, by then it had moved up from 340bhp to 380bhp, no where near the P8's power but I feel as a proud XE owner I have in some way 'touched the hem' of the Project 8, so it will come as no surprise my choice would be ...the Project 8!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the comment Phil 👍

[@DjNikGnashers]

Loving that project 8, wow indeed. It's like an even better looking Alpha. Massive want.

[@stellasmith2405]

Hi pp 👍 what a car, thanks to Mike for us all to enjoy!❤ project 8 for me especially if it was available in estate. the 7 doesn't look like it has a roof! Brilliant work pp someone has got to do it!🥂

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Stella 👍

[@i.c.d.-videos1901]

Project 8 everyday for me too!

[@andrewervin4716]

Absolutely demented motor, definitely the Project 8 for me!

[@davidpegg4516]

It's got to be the Project 8 for me. I love a big powerful saloon. What a car that is!

[@PetrolPed]

Good call 👍

[@seanm1430]

If it was me - it would be the Project 8- just purely for the grin factor- what a drive. It must be the ultimate Jaguar. Although the car I would look at the most would be the Project 7- its stunning. Special thanks to Mike for showing us - these two amazing motors.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@andrewveitch1874]

I’m fairly new to Jaguar, I purchased a MY21 F-pace S late last year (2021) of course I loved the car but my 2020 transit 350 medium roof extended wheelbase loaded with tools and inventory had more power so I brought it back with 740 miles on it and very fortunately secured one of two F-pace SVRs being allocated to my local dealer, I was able to spec the car out with everything I wanted and have become a Jaguar enthusiast. Now I’m looking for one of what I thought was 300 project 8’s and of all the videos I’ve watched your the only one that seems to know there are only 220, now I want one even more…

[@chappy4424]

Project 7 fantastic looking car and being convertible and right hand drive just throws this for me!

[@markevans8688]

Project 8, saw two on a trailer last year comming out of Jaguar site in Castle Brom , absolutely awesome

[@simonstevens3115]

Project 8 every day for me. I had an XE for 3 years and although it was only a 2.0 diesel, it was a tool. Happy cruising on the motorway, but put it in dynamic and thread it down a B road, it was epic. Man I miss that car. I’ll never afford a project 8, but I’ll try and get a ‘S’ on the driveway sometime.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep. Great cars 👍

[@cinqiwc]

That Project 8 is a beast! Although I understand your choice, I would opt for the Project 7. There are more possibilities to drive top down than chances you make it to a track day to really give that Project 8 the space it needs. Thanks for these awesome back to back video's and keep the content coming!

[@PetrolPed]

Will do 👍

[@bobsterd1973]

It'd be the Project 8 for me - what a lucky chap to own both, and you to have driven both!

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed 🙏🏻

[@altern8tive]

Given a choice I'd have a LHD car in the UK any day of the week, something just feels 'normal' about them. Blind junctions, roundabouts and overtaking can be navigated with equal care as when driving on the continent in a right-hand.

[@daveevans6783]

Again an excellent review of the top cats, I wonder how a very rare old 2015 F Type R RWD convertible would fair.

[@PetrolPed]

Pretty well 👍

[@sandygarage3802]

I'd love to choose both, but i think the Project 8 is the one I'd go for. It sounds great (supercharger whine❤) & grips the road. 👍❤🙂.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@timmartin7468]

Project 8 because of its versatility as a track / family car. If you can only have one then this is the one. Thanks Ped.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Tim 👍

[@haroldhdknoxstreet-glide5331]

Addictively dangerous to fall in love 😍 with cars like that

[@adrianbennett3761]

Looks superb, especially those flared rear arches

[@iainsallotment-plot5245]

Absolutely love that cars soundtrack jaguar should do a watered down version so it be available to lesser none mortals great reviews of both project jabs this should have more veiws

[@SennaF1]

I would go for the Project 8. 12:36 into the video - that exhaust noise got a full round of applause 👏 One of the best sounding cars ever. 👌🎯

[@PetrolPed]

A proper beast 😂

[@68tonyn]

Now you get it Peter !! But you quite right about the left hand drive !! I think that was a mistake but it does have its compensations

[@PetrolPed]

Mega once you get through the tunnel and into France 👌

[@68tonyn]

@@PetrolPed Exactly !! Won't be doing that for a while sadly

[@gregoryuk]

I'll have to actually watch this vid. Whenever I glimpsed at the screen PetrolPed is just grinning in that P8.

[@PetrolPed]

You definitely should 😜😂

[@chocolaterugby]

Never been a Jaguar fan, but man these cars are epic.......!! You are one lucky fella Pete.... Great videos..... Keep em coming...... and get to Cornwall soon......!!

[@PetrolPed]

Will do 👍

[@trev8591]

That isn't an ASBO car, it needs a straight-jacket and a padded cell! Frikkin' amazing, mate. Thank Mike for sharing with us, please, he's awesome. (I'd go for the 8, total hoon!).

[@PetrolPed]

LOL 😂

[@geofo60]

Not difficult to choose for me. Project 8. Thanks to Mike for letting us enjoy his amazing collection through your capable hands Peter. 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed. What a guy 👏

[@gordonhalliday2925]

Love it. That sound track. ❤❤

[@nikb6528]

What a thing! It looks nearly as focused as my Swift Sport.

[@PetrolPed]

Love a Swift Sport 👌

[@robertl2856]

Great Jag item my license would not last long with either of these missles !

[@PetrolPed]

Mine either 😂

[@peterkirton4580]

Yes Pete that speed limit is ridiculous

[@andrewgeorge2562]

Project 8, Thank you Mike for letting Pete share his experience with us. Great videos WOW.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed them 👍

[@ginny1068]

The P8. It's the total package. Stunning!~

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 👌

[@ByHarrywatson71]

Think I’d have to go for the Project 8. It’s just a little bit more special than the 7 in my opinion.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@jerry83ism]

Definitely the 8 in my garage, alongside my trusty X-Type 2.2D Sport Estate

[@MH30R]

Project 8 for me. And I recall your first XE vid as I was watching the development of the XE and scouring YT for any clips. Yours came up!

[@PetrolPed]

Awesome 😎

[@simonupex2628]

Hi Peter, I was lucky enough to borrow an F- type convertible a couple of years ago (friendly with a local jaguar dealer )and even with a paltry 542 bhp found it a little skittish at the rear even on warm tarmac with Michelin rubber, so I'd have the project 8 with the security of 4wd and a decent interior would be the one for me.

[@PetrolPed]

Good plan 👍

[@barnett882]

Just watched back to back... brilliant Peter and you've just gotta love those guys at SVO - yep... still nursing one LOL!!!!

[@PetrolPed]

😂😂😂

[@global_nomad.]

thanks for making us smile with joy and empathy...used £120-140k now...is it really useable as a four door saloon? is the ride to hard for long journeys? if it was useable, not just for fun on a b road then the P8, if it was for entertainment then more likely the 'less practical' P7

[@Karlos-bh9zk]

Doesn't sound anything like my 2.0d r sport :(

[@Rusky07]

Wow another amazing motor, Mike is definately a top Gezza👍 For me it would be the P7 i just think it looks stunning 👍👍👍👍

[@PetrolPed]

He sure is 👍

[@davidmarr4606]

Great video Pete there's nothing like the sound of a V8, and then you put a supercharger on it and you say WOW WOW. Well done I'm loven it. Cheers Dave from downunder 😎

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 👏

[@danimalrun3839]

Project 8 for me too, sounds epic and the way it seemed to dart about looks just to good to be true. So say envious is an understatement. I think they have a project 8 as a ring taxi at the Nürburgring if so I am definitely getting a lap in it next time I am out. Geat video they just keep getting better and better.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers 👍

[@russellclark1978]

Great Vid Pete... What a car! 😎. To make a choice between the two, I'd have to drive them. As I haven't, I'll go with the Project 7 just so I'd get all of the theatre, drama and noise with the roof off! 😍

[@PetrolPed]

Good plan 👍

[@antonioercolino6087]

7 for me please! It's got a great shape. Totally classic ☺

[@resnonverba137]

Project 8 for me. While I realise the P8 is an entirely different proposition to the rest of the XE range, I think the road-going XE is an under-appreciated car.

[@PetrolPed]

I agree 👍

[@michaelconnolly1797]

Project 8. Another awesome car and video. Any chance of a video of the XKRS too. Keep up the great work👌🏻

[@malph9216]

Hi Pete. So it seems I was right in my comment on the Project 7 video. There's no EV, regardless of how fast, that would promote the reactions from you that the Mustang, Project 7 and now the Project 8 have done....a resounding victory for the Supercharged V8s as proper drivers cars. Performance, smell, involvement, and of course, that noise.....beats the 'sound' of tumbleweed for any proper petrol head. Enjoyed these last few videos......and I'd have the Project 8. BTW, did Mike make you wash the bugs off the front of his cars afterwards?

[@PetrolPed]

They both came back covered 😂

[@chrisblay]

Pretty sure I looked at one of these on display in the local Jaguar dealership showroom a few years ago. Huge wheels with carbon ceramic brakes. They didn’t even bother putting the price on it, as so expensive. Quite a piece of engineering.

[@PetrolPed]

There are so many lovely bits to look at on them 👍

[@chrisbelgrade7902]

I like the P8 sounds great, Pete you're having too much fun

[@PetrolPed]

I am indeed 😜😂

[@Artilectual]

This is my dream car. Love the review! 👍

[@frasermacleod7642]

Great video Peter and another awesome Jaguar. What a stunning car and as much as I love the P7 I’d have to choose the P8 😉👌🏻

[@PetrolPed]

Me too 👍

[@shineautomotive]

7/8 I can’t make my mind up both cars are stunning . Good watch enjoyed both videos just watched back to back

[@PetrolPed]

Cool 😎

[@garethedwards2883]

Ok Pete you were right, the project 8 wins me over the amazing Mustang. The sound of that supercharger and exhaust were amazing. Also a big thanks to Mike for allowing us to see his amazing unique cars 👍👍👍

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed. What a gent 🙏🏻

[@wordreet]

I'll go for the Project 8 please, with the Touring Car Pack and painted Jet gloss black, with a matte black stripe.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👍

[@philip2639]

Project 8 is the one I would pick. Just ticks all the boxes.

[@cliftonmcintosh6193]

I think I liked the project 8 the best will done pp on getting them 👏🏿💪🏿

[@shaneweightman]

Some motor, not keen on the colour , Harry’s is a nicer colour , but fantastic car , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

[@NickBakerSF]

Another excellent video! The only Jaguar that has peaked my interest.

[@Fulloctanegarage]

Very cool... I currently have matching white on black Jaguar XKR-S GT and a Project 8... looking for a white Project 7 next to complete the Jaguar modern triad. Have you had a go in the GT yet?

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👍 Not driven one of those 👎

[@ElTurfStuff]

Gotta be the Project 8, every time. That noise is pure speed, but without being totally ASBO.

[@alanpirie8264]

What a glorious soundtrack for a car to make. 😀

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@sa59z]

Definitely project 8 😍

[@carllamb6711]

Hi Pete What a great video and two amazing cars For me Pete I’d go for the project 7 More fun with the roof off and you can listen to the beautiful sound of that engine Even better when you’re driving through little country villages or big tunnels

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes. Just hope it doesn’t rain 😂

[@rosaliebent4833]

Best part of the video was watching you truly enjoy the car. You dont really enjoy EVs, but you do enjoy monsters like these two cars!

[@PetrolPed]

I was trying to be cool but failed miserably 😂

[@rosaliebent4833]

@@PetrolPed If you are driving a Jaguar you are already cool.

[@99crossy]

Project 7.5?.. precisely the dilemma. P8 for the driving. P7 for the looks and theatre. Always thought if I ever hit the big time, I’d invite you to drive whatever super car I bought. I mean you can still come and have a go in my Countryman Cooper SD lol 😂. Terrific vid again

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the invite 👍

[@keithhorwood4585]

Another great car , the prodject 7 , just for cool styling, thanks for a super video. Keith

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure Keith 👍

[@oddyseus99]

What a beast. Although I'd go for the Project 7 as I'm a rag top man...plus that rear fairing...wow! On a side note my wife overheard this video and thought your voice was Dave Gorman's! Dunno which way to take that :)

[@PetrolPed]

Neither do I 😜😂😂😂

[@ChallengeStradalenf]

Having not driven either not an easy choice to decide which one to take! But think the P8 maybe ticks more boxes and the P7 with that roof not good for a Euro trip to the Alps. So P8 for me😎

[@aidanwilson6035]

Despite the steering wheel being on the 'wrong' side i would take the Project 8 as it is more practical and a better connected drivers car that can be used on a daily basis , these epic vehicles with the supercharged V8 will be even more collectable as they are discontinued , we will miss the unique sound and whine from these amazing machines , the fake noise channelled through speakers in electric cars will never come close to matching that aural experience !.

[@KalaniBunda-Shimamoto]

I have had the opportunity to drive both of these cars and they are amazing but I love the Project 8 and it has definitely made the list for future dream cars. @petroPed do you think they will make a Project out of the Jaguar I-Pace?

[@pauldeavall9157]

The owner of the jags has got taste respect to you what great cars very envious of him

[@PetrolPed]

He sure has 👍👍

[@drivingwithmelissa9757]

We have the Jaguar XKR-S GT, the Project 7, the Project8, and the F Pace SVR all in matching white on black spec. You can’t beat these cars. There are people that dislike Jaguars and then there’s people that have driven them.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👌

[@jefferiespj1]

Great video as always Pete 👍 project 8 for me 😁

[@tiguanman1170]

Project 8. Four wheel drive essential to use that power on public roads.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@richardsheldon7473]

Hi pete,the project 8 for me,,awesome vlog,got to ask you under controlled conditions ,one long track would you like to have pushed it towards the 200mph, Drive safe stay safe, Cheers

[@alasdairwilson4806]

Evening Mr P. Project 8 for me please.Stunning machine,great colour and great vid.Is there any chance you might be back to drive the XKR?

[@PetrolPed]

Yep. Hopefully 👍

[@grahamknibbs5481]

I have to say the wait was worth it. They both sound absolutely awesome, but that supercharger with all those squirrels done it for me, so Project 8 has won my vote just..

[@PetrolPed]

LOL 😂

[@GenaF]

Project 8 with a PR09 reg 🤔

[@PetrolPed]

My guess is someone already had taken PR08 SVO

[@GenaF]

Petrol Ped I just looked up PR08 which isn't assigned to any vehicle. Maybe someone has it on a retention certificate. I expect Mike is awaiting a PR09 model and then he will put the plate he has, across to that 🤷🏼‍♀️ IDK,

[@ChallengeStradalenf]

Another good review Pete👍 I have also watched Harry’s videos on his P8 he loves his 😎

[@PetrolPed]

Ah yes. Love his stuff 👍

[@dalefox3898]

No complaints here Ped for me it would be the Project 8 every time, there is just something about a fast saloon.Driving the RS3 saloon it does the same thing with the feel, and when are we going to get the other car vid entries as promised , or come and take a look at the real thing when you are in Wales next. Keep up the top content. What was the best Project 8 or Mustang???
