What's the news?
In case you missed it at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, Jaguar's limited run (250 units only) F-Type Project 7 is about to make an appearance at the upcoming Le Mans Classic this weekend (July 4-6). This time around though, there will be demonstration laps, alongside F-Type R Coupés and the very first D-Type, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
Built and developed by Jaguar's new Special Operations division, the F-Type Project 7 is a road-legal two-seat sports car. While it is essentially a more powerful and extreme version of the F-Type, it takes things even further with its 'most powerful and fastest production Jaguar to date' credentials. It's powered by a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine making 575hp, which is helped along by about 80kg of weight reductions. The 0-100km/h sprint takes 3.6 seconds while the top speed is electronically limited to 300km/h.
Anything else?
Jaguar says the F-Type Project 7 will do the demo runs before the qualifying and race sessions at the Le Mans Classic race meeting. Also, as the three-time Le Mans winning Jaguar celebrates its 60th anniversary, Jaguar will have two D-Types taking part in the Le Mans Classic.
