Jaguar Project 7 2015 review - pictures

<span>&nbsp;A new level of agility, greater traction and a big helping of drama all contribute to the Jaguar Project 7.</span>

The&nbsp;Jaguar Project 7, is named in reference to Jaguar’s seven victories at&nbsp;Le Mans. Just 250 examples will be built.

The Jaguar Project 7 is based on the&nbsp;F-Type R Convertible, adding more style and power, whilst losing weight too.

<span>Aerodynamic efficiency has been vastly iproved on the Jaguar Project 7.</span>

<span>The suspension has been revised to provide the Project 7 much greater responsiveness.</span>

<span>Carbon ceramic brakes have been fitted as standard to the Project 7.</span>

All 250 examples of the Project 7 have been sold, with 80 finding homes in the UK.

<span>The Project 7 has a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 good for 567bhp and 700Nm.</span>

<span>The Project 7 remains rear-drive only and the 8-speed ‘Quickshift’ automatic gearbox has a bespoke tune for faster response and snappier shifts</span>

<span>Weight is cut by 45kg thanks to lightweight seats, losing the roof mechanism and those carbon-ceramic brakes. Total weight is still 1,620kg though.</span>

<span>The result of all these changes to the F-Type means the Project 7 looks aggressive and modern, but with just a twist of D-Type.</span>

The Project 7 still feels as much a GT as it does a sports car. But&nbsp;as the road tightens, the greater&nbsp;<span id="itxthook0p"><span id="itxthook0w">agility</span></span>, mid-corner grip and much-improved traction becomes more

<span>Everything is ramped-up from the F-Type and the result is a greater connection with the road surface.</span>
