Jaguar confirms it will build F-Type Project 7.

Tata Motors owned Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that the company will build the F-Type Project 7. The car will debut at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed – in the 60th anniversary year of the Jaguar D-type racer that inspired its design.

The car will be the most performance-focused derivative of the acclaimed F-Type range and will be Jaguar’s fastest and most powerful production model to date.  Shrouded in exclusivity, the company will make only 250 units, hand-built by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Operations team. Each car will sport a special numbered plaque, located between the two seats, signed by Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar.

The car’s all-aluminium-bodied car – which weighs 1585kg --will be powered by 5.0-liter supercharged V8 petrol engine that produces 567 HP of power and 680Nm of torque.  The car will do 0 to 100 kmph in 3.9 seconds.

Its distinctive roadster body, introduced in concept form earlier, pays tribute to one of the most famous and iconic racing Jaguars: the three-time Le Mans winning D-type, which in 2014 is celebrating its 60th anniversary year. F-Type Project 7’s name pays homage to Jaguar’s seven outright Le Mans wins.
