Sign me up for the one with the track package! I bloody love the idea of a 4-door car with 2 seats! :D “Sorry I can’t give you a lift, it’s all roll cage back there...” lol
Extremely Overpriced junk. Just has a good exhaust note & looks mediocre. The front looks better. Anyone is stupid enough to pay that high for something like this.
@@terrencemashego717 Loyal fan but for good reason. I've driven many of the newer/older gen AMGs on road and track. I've had a lot of fun over years driving some of my favourite cars like the AMG GTR and C63 Black Series, etc.... Also I'm a V8 guy, my family/close friends have always had V8s, I just love those engines so much... thus AMG is the perfect brand for me.
Exactly, that’s the problem with Jaguar in general. Their hot versions are damp and soggy and their properly hot versions are some collector special. That should be a normal XE R or SVR or whatever, normal production, normal servicing etc. Shame you have to have a collector level Jag to match Audi RS
Conceptually sure. But they were rubbish for the most part. Theres a reason people stopped buying them apart from hardcore HSV fans. The german AMG's/M's/RS were much better with smaller engines producing so much more power
@@graemewilson1400 and they pulled the pin because no one was buying. The decrease in demand is what caused that. More people were buying the 6 cylinder due to a combination of price and not giving a crap about a V8 that Holden realised that most people don't want or care about a V8.
That blue Touring one is gorgeous. What a car! Price point too high, but this can be the beginning for Jaguar, hopefully they can mass produce a car like this in the near future at an M5 price point
Great video... I've been on the fence about this car since Harry's Garage got one. It may be brilliant but it still looks like a lovely car, not a £150,000 special car. Also, I want a clutch in a car reserved for fun but that's my taste.
@@xj_220 Well autobot, you're not gonna lap the nurburgring every day. On the other hand, you're getting the same engine with oodles more luxury and space and save plenty money.
Both great cars but it’s complete apples and oranges. The xjr575 is a 760/alpina b7/s63 competitor for fast long-distance travel. The closest competitor the Project 8 in actuality is a GT3 RS, and the lap times reflect it. It’s setup for handling and raw performance not as a comfort barge.
I understand that that V8 would fit in the std car as it was always packaged for the petrol V6, which has the same package space as the V8. I was working at Jaguar at the time as a development engineer.
As of December 2020, on autotrader, 7 out 38 “strictly limited” production allocated for the US are listed for sell as new...which speaks a thing or two regarding the demand lol
I did not think I would ever see a proper car vid ever again, more car less driver. Nowadays you see 90 % driver/host with a sprinkling of car which is further drowned in choppy edits and silly music. Thank you for doing it right.
I kind of like the wing. I know it’s a bit in your face, and flashy - but it reminds me of other great cars that had wings like the Ford Escort Cosworth and some of the Mercedes Black Series cars. It’s good there’s the Touring spec now for the wallflowers out there!
With only 300 available I would think they would sell out pretty fast. We may think 150k is a lot, but to the monied class, it is small change. The LHD is a shame, but it is likely a problem with the steering box on the left because the front diff is on the right and something is preventing them being swapped. Merc and Bmw had this problem for decades with 4matic and Xdrive only being available in lhd markets.
the m4 gts sold nearly for about the same price but had a measling 500hp straight 6 that needed water. This car is so much more interesting. To drive, I'd take it way over a Panamera turbo or AMG GT63s. To own, I wouldn't own any of them
Lovely - an option they perhaps should have offered all along. Shame that they didn’t take the opportunity to fit the new XE interior while they were at it. Hey ho, I’m sure that V8 makes up for it!
What's gonna hold its value though? This or Porsches' or the Aston. I bet this will be a much better investment and you can have fun with it whilst you have it.

“Sorry I can’t give you a lift, it’s all roll cage back there...” lol
U have made it sir, take a seat you legend
To each his own, but I'd keep the seats. I have no moral dilemma with telling people I am not a taxi.
The Jaguar Project 8 is like one of the best cars ever made and I don’t care what people say
If it had a manual and lost the AWD, I might agree. Still very nice car though.
Alan Bowers ooh I might manual swap it I’ll see if Jaguar is willing to give me a manual gearbox
Are you blind? Look at any Ferrari the past 10 years. Clueless.
Greiguci Wootchie dude I said one of the best cars

Gorgeous car. If only they could make an XF SVR or put this into full productions 🔥

Emissions laws. Governments are making it very difficult to produce these kinds of cars
It's great to have this reviewer back. Just draws you in. Top job Carfection.
4 mins in before I realised he was year below me at school. Alright Alex!
What a car this is! One of the best hot saloons ever imo.
When Alex drops in he brings all the best toys! Great video guys.
Yay Alex!! Love your review style man!! Keep going!
Agreed, one of the top 3 out there!
Subjective, but too fluffy for me .... You could ask if to review a dog turd, and he'd talk of how shiny and warm it is 😂
If only HSV still existed in Aus. They were conceptually like these things, and even more attainable!
Conceptually sure. But they were rubbish for the most part. Theres a reason people stopped buying them apart from hardcore HSV fans. The german AMG's/M's/RS were much better with smaller engines producing so much more power
People stopped buying here in oz because GM pulled the pin....no more Holden

The hsv will always be a uniquely Australian interpretation of European muscle. It was a flawed car in many ways but it had a charm.
@@prashanthp5448 Charm you say? You, are delusional.
10/10 for the review. Alex and Henry making this the best car channel on TH-cam
That supercharger whine is just purely magic to my ears!
Alex Goy is back! He and Henry make Carfection so special. And obviously, the camera crew is insane aswell.
I don’t know why but I love this thing so much!
Can't watch F1 qualifying where I am, but this will do.
Engines sound better here.
Leclerc Hamilton Vettel versttapen slowttas
nearlyagoodlaugh not to worry..f1 ain’t worth watching anymore
Its great to see Alex do these vids. That Jaguar is something.
Awesome soundtrack from the engine and exhausts,great looking roads too
You have the best channel hands down quality and content is fantastic!
Beautiful speech and delivery. The feelings from you get to us. Thank you
Great to see Alex back on the channel, really enjoy his story videos.
"You can drive this at speed to drop the kids off at school - but then they get out ... a little bit shocked" 😆
Yes, more Alex! Alex and Henry are the best on TH-cam.
This blue spec is insane!!!
Finally sensable package without stupid out of place wing. Love it.
Love that aggressive yet clean front bumper
My favorite TH-cam car channel.period.
The touring car looks stunning. That V8 supercharged sounds ferocious.
Oh I absolutely love the style of this car! If I could afford one, I’d go for the all-out Track Package with the cage in place of the rear seat!
A great car. Incredible what Jaguar have made here. Love that supercharger whine sound!
The fastest car 4 door sedan ever lapped the Nurburgring until now, even the 2021 Porsche Panamera hasn't broken the lap record yet.
God I'm going to miss that engine when it goes out of production sometime next year. It's had a helluva roll in many great cars 😢
Finally, Alex!!!! I was delighted to hear his voice. He is the best host carfection ever had.
I saw one of these in London last month, probably the saloon with the best road presence you will see. They look mean af
That blue Touring one is gorgeous. What a car! Price point too high, but this can be the beginning for Jaguar, hopefully they can mass produce a car like this in the near future at an M5 price point
The grill is sick
Well done, I always thought that wing fit that car as well as baseball cap on a queen
Love that front end
It's a shame they're not producing many, I would love to see more around
They could build thousands - but who is going to buy one ??
@@JIMMYHIBBS1 yeah, you're right
It is a pretty small niche unfortunately
Another excellent Carfection video, and proof they're the best in the business.
Where u been Alex? glad u’re back
For people saying. Why is the wheel on the left. It's actually because most tracks are clockwise. So it actually makes perfect sense
Great video... I've been on the fence about this car since Harry's Garage got one. It may be brilliant but it still looks like a lovely car, not a £150,000 special car. Also, I want a clutch in a car reserved for fun but that's my taste.
If you really want a Jag, which has 4 doors and the V8,
spend 90k on an XJR 575. Same engine(a little less tuned), more luxury and save 60k.
Still slower than xe sv project 8 bruh
@@xj_220 Well autobot, you're not gonna lap the nurburgring every day. On the other hand, you're getting the same engine with oodles more luxury and space and save plenty money.

"Jaguar has a rocket hidden in plain sight"
* proceeds to show the Big ass rear spoiler 😂😂😂😂😂
What a car, looks so good without the wing, so aggressive.
Really beautiful, the front end is the favorite of mine. But for the price I'll take 911 gt3
I’ve missed this reviewer! Great video
Thanks for this wonderful presentation with the lovely exhaust note.
I'll take the blue please. And thank you.
Just let me know when you're coming over and I'll open up the garage door.
I understand that that V8 would fit in the std car as it was always packaged for the petrol V6, which has the same package space as the V8.

I like the fenders
I prefer Gibsons
I love the touring spec it looks so great

I bought the last brand new one in the US, in July 2021. Very happy with car. She is truly special.

Yay! Baldy is back!
This is such a beautiful car 😎
He's back!
alex is back wow
looks like a Mazda 3, Mustang, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Aston Martin, Volvo, Toyota, Chevy, Nissan, Acura, some Kia too!
And those alone

This cars existence makes no sense...
That's why I love it
The thing i like the most about Alex is, i can understand what he says no problem
Such a beautiful cars. Proper pieces of kit.
Love that car. Of course it's worth the money only 500 are being made
Buy my paper car. I only made 1 ever. Starting auction is 500k
I can't wait to have this car delivered to my garage this week
In GTA Online
"No one boasts about owning a Leatherman"
Walk into a shop and you'll see that we all boast about our Leathermans or Gerbers lol
Australia's Bathurst Races would be the best place to showcase this car's capabilities.
I'm just glad that some lucky people will get to drive these cars before they're extinct.
I don't think they will go extinct; they may become very expensive. Check out the Callum Aston Martin Vanquish. You'll see what I mean.
Alex... missed you ol' chap! Spot of earl grey & a buttered scone in a Cullinan for your next foray in the Queens country side?!
Wildest cat on the road
Things like this are why JLR are important.
Bold guy, oh you have been missed

So that’s one of the card in FF9 - saw a blue one being filmed doing stunts in Edinburgh last week - hideous paint job!
Lovely performance eye candies with opera house music to ears.
This car is iiiiiiinnnnnnsssssaaaaaaannnnneeeeee
if they made Estate version it would be the most badass thing in the world
the m4 gts sold nearly for about the same price but had a measling 500hp straight 6 that needed water. This car is so much more interesting. To drive, I'd take it way over a Panamera turbo or AMG GT63s. To own, I wouldn't own any of them
The M4 GTS was a complete fail reviewer's didn't like it at all plus it was far too expensive
Will take this any day over a M3 competion pack.
Lovely - an option they perhaps should have offered all along. Shame that they didn’t take the opportunity to fit the new XE interior while they were at it. Hey ho, I’m sure that V8 makes up for it!
"an M3 is like a leatherman , and no one boasts about a leatherman"
is possibly the most bourgeois sentence ive ever heard someone say
tomhan I couldn't even figure out what he was saying. Sounded like "manevnolan."
Especially since an M4's quality makes the Jag look Chinese.
Class A review.
my heart wants one too, it is stupid and I love it!
Wait...Alex is back with carfection??
bro this jaaaaaaaaaag looks cool
Jaguar missed an opportunity. They should make more of these Project badged cars, it would be a good alternative to AMG and M.
Reminds me of W124 500E co-developed between mercedes and Porsche in the early 1990s.
Where is this filmed? Beautiful landscape
Mostly in Wales
AMAZING.👌🏾
I would love to have a Project 8 as a daily
One of my neighbors have one of these and a project 7, I wish I had that type of cash
Is your neighbour Harry Metcalfe
Is this your neighbour? www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f-type-x152-72/p8-finally-arrives-home-223083/
add touring and it makes the car 100x better
7:00 the whine🤤
HAVE YOU EVER TALKED TO AN M3 OWNER they boast all day
M3's are overrated especially the convertible variants
I love this car
Beast...JAGUAR

Why doesn't Jaguar make the regular XE with a V8? Price it at $60k and I'm sure it would sell
What's gonna hold its value though? This or Porsches' or the Aston. I bet this will be a much better investment and you can have fun with it whilst you have it.

wait
British company owned by an Indian and they made this only Left hand drive. Wonderful thinking Jaguar.
Fact Machine That speaks to where their market lies...
They made 500 and sold 500 so yes, it was wonderful thinking.
Bring this car to NC so I can race it up a mountain and then to the coast for a beach vacation.
Why don't they make a two door coupe version of this ?
