Jaguar has unveiled its most powerful road-going car ever.
The XE SV Project is being developed by the company’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) arm and will boast 592bhp from a 5.0 litre V8 engine.
Seen here in a prototype stage with camouflage paint, the production version will be limited to just 300 models.
It’s based on Jaguar’s compact XE saloon car but is lower and wider for improved traction. Not much else is known but it’s expected to have four-wheel drive.
The finished version will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.
Jaguar’s staying mum about prices for now but it won’t be cheap. Expect to pay more than two and possible close to three times the £48,000 price of the current fastest XE.
