A heavily camouflaged prototype is currently testing at the Nurburgring race track in Germany, and John Edwards, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations said: "The time is right for SVO to produce the most extreme performance road car in the history of Jaguar. The SVO team is possessed by the spirit of performance and committed to creating the most thrilling driving experience imaginable.
"Our clients worldwide were thrilled by the F-Type Project 7. The new XE SV Project 8 takes aerodynamics and performance engineering to another level - it is conceived for enthusiasts and the most discerning collectors. The price for such an extreme performance sports car available in strictly limited numbers will reflect that."
Full details of the Project 8's development, specs, and performance will be made public at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed in late June.
