Jaguar Project 7

27.03.2017

The Project 7 is based on the F-Type Convertible, powered by a 5.0 V8 Supercharged engine, developing 575 PS (423 kW). This engine was also used on the F-Type SVR. Only up to 250 will be made and is Jaguar's most powerful production car ever, alongside with the SVR version. The body is 100% aluminium, reminiscing historical D-Type LeMans winner. Visually, it sports an 'Aero Haunch' behind the driver, similar to 1950s D-Type, a quad exhaust and additional rear spoiler. It has a claimed acceleration of 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and top speed: 186 miles per hour (299 km/h). Singer and car enthusiast Brian Johnson drove the prototype car on the first programme of the second series of Cars That Rock, and announced at the end of the programme that he had bought one of the 250 production cars.

The Project 7 is a skunkworks design made by Italian-Brazilian designer César Pieri. It was discovered by chance when Pieri accidentally showed it to Jaguar chief-designer Ian Callum. The concept then became a functional prototype and eventually reached production.
