Jaguar Project 7 Concept development [VIDEO]

Remember that time when Jaguar was losing money and lost its identity? Well that time is gone. Thanks to cars like the F type and the C-X75 concept. The British brand finally reaffirmed its identity and with cars like the Project 7 concept, it only continues to go in the right direction.

In the video below, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum highlights the development of this amazing car. The Project 7, may I remind you, is powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 550 HP and 680 Nm of torque. It sends it power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed Quickshift transmission. That enables the single seater F type to complete the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 4.2 seconds and hit an electronically-limited top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).
