The Jaguar Project 7, which is based on the new generation of the F-Type, is going to have its world debut at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Jaguar Project 7 is a design study, which is powered by the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine, which develops 550 PS (405 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque between 2,500 rpm and 5,500 rpm. With this engine, the Jaguar Project 7 is able to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds) and to reach an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). The engine of the Project 7 F-Type is mated to an 8-speed Quickshift transmission and an electronic active differential. The Project 7 is fitted with 20-inch Blade forged alloy wheels and Pirelli P Zero tires.
Jaguar's Project 7 is a single-seater sports car, which is going to be driven at the Goodwood Festival of Speed by Mike Cross, the carmaker's Chief Engineer, Vehicle Integrity.
For the Project 7, Jaguar made several aerodynamic changes, which include various new carbon fiber components such as the front splitter, the side skirts, the rear diffuser, the front bumper and the fixed rear spoiler, which has a 14-degree angle of attack. The F-type's original windshield has also been lowered. For the interior of the Project 7, Jaguar chose a single racing seat with a four-point harness, a helmet holder and other new trim parts.
The Jaguar Project 7 features a 10-mm lowered ride height, a free-flow exhaust system with ceramic coating, and a re-tuned suspensions system.
The Jaguar Project 7 is probably not for sale, so there's no point in asking its price.
