Jaguar has unveiled the F-Type Project 7, which is being billed as the “Fastest and Most Powerful Production Jaguar.” The F-Type Project 7 originally debuted a year ago in concept form and now Jaguar has confirmed that it is producing 250 units, with the production version debuting this week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The F-Type Project 7 is the first Jaguar performance vehicle from Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Operations team. Its distinctive roadster body pays tribute to the three-time Le Mans winning D-type, which in 2014 is celebrating its 60th anniversary year.

The F-Type Project 7 is powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine that generates 567 horsepower. It’s capable of reaching 0-60mph in 3.8-seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 186mph. Other upgrades include Carbon Ceramic Matrix brakes, carbon-fiber aerodynamic aids and a unique suspension set-up.
Key design elements include the D-type-inspired fairing behind the driver’s head, shorter windshield, new front bumper, and downforce-increasing aerodynamic modifications – including a carbon-fiber front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser and adjustable rear spoiler.
Deliveries are expected to start in mid-2015.
