Fastest, most powerful and aluminium-bodied Jaguar debuts in Australia

The car that got everyone in a lather at the Goodwood 2014 Festival Of Speed in 2014, the aluminium-bodied Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7, has made its Australian debut.

Just 10 of the 250 cars produced by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) skunkworks were earmarked for Australia and all have already been sold to customers who have stumped up $339,610 for the most exclusive limited-edition road-going Jaguar ever available here.

Jaguar’s 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, as seen in the F-TYPE R Coupe, is installed in the F-TYPE Project 7 but SVO has fettled it to produce 423kW (19kW more than the F-TYPE R Coupe) and 700Nm of torque.

The eight-speed Quickshift automatic transmission and second-generation Electronic Active Differential delivers the power to the rear wheels, with transmission calibration tweaked via revised shift points for the Project 7.

The aluminium-bodied roadster — which at 1585kg weighs 80kg less than the F-TYPE V8 S Convertible — gets to 100km/h from rest in a blistering 3.9 seconds, with top speed electronically limited to 300km/h.

Helping performance — and sound — in the Project 7 is a switchable Active Sports Exhaust system with quad matt-black ceramic-coated exhaust outlets.

The Project 7 built on a high-end aluminium platform is the fastest and quickest production Jaguar ever built, and is waiting to take the premium car markets by storm across global markets.
