捷豹在今年的古德伍德速度节上发布了XESVProject8，该车搭载一台5.0升V8引擎，功率441千瓦/592马力，巩固了其在捷豹家族中速度最快，动力最强车型的地位。最近谍照记者又在德国纽伯格林赛道拍到了这辆车。最新谍照显示，该车采用了闪亮的橙红色涂装，引擎盖带有深灰色装饰条。虽然该车看起来像另一辆预量产版车型，但这辆特别车型实际上比先前那一辆更接近量产版。该车预计将于明年初上市。要想成为纽伯格林赛道上行驶最快的车，XESVProject8必须打败阿尔法罗密欧GiuliaQuadrifoglio,后者在今年初创造了单圈行驶时间7分32秒的纪录。这款车除了搭载了一台441千瓦/592马力V8引擎外，还提供了大量赛道专用配置。与引擎搭配的是全轮驱动和八速自动变速器，车辆百公里加速时间为3.3秒，最高时速320公里。电动主动差速器搭配更硬悬挂，这种配置类似F1赛车，氮化硅陶瓷车轮轴承和新的碳陶瓷刹车盘让这辆车比Giulia Quadrifoglio拥有了更强技术实力。
Jaguar XE SV Project 8 Spied On Nürburgring, Gunning For Record
Jaguar unleashed its XE SV Project 8 at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, much to the surprise of nearly everyone in attendance. With a 5.0-liter V8 and a whopping 592 horsepower (441 kilowatts) on tap, it quickly cemented itself as one of the fastest, most powerful vehicles the company has ever built. Now it could be gunning for the Nürburgring record, according to Autocar.
New spy photos show the XE SV Project 8 taking on the 'Ring, wearing a bright orange finish with a grey livery and racing stripes. Though it looks to be another pre-production example (note the dramatically extended exhaust tips), this particular model should be closer to production than the examples revealed prior. Deliveries are expected early in 2018.
In order to be crowned the fastest four-door car on the Nürburgring, the Jag will have to take down the potent Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, which posted a time of 7 minutes 32 seconds earlier in the year. Apart from its potent 592-hp (441-kW) V8, the XE comes fitted with plenty of track-focused features to boot. All that power comes paired to an all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic, propelling it from 0-62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in just 3.3 seconds, and on to a top speed of 198 mph (320 kmh). An electronic active differential comes paired with a stiffer suspension, and features like an F1-inspired, silicon nitride ceramic wheel bearings, and new carbon ceramic brakes should give the Jag the edge it needs to beat the Alfa.
