Jaguar XE SV Project 8

The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 reaches 60 mph in 3.09 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.22 s, tripping the lights at 124.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.76 s and the eighth mile in 7.25 s, reaching 100 mph in 7.17 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the XE SV Project 8

The 2017 Jaguar XE SV Project 8 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,670 kg with 591 bhp, which works out at 354 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.76 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 269th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 2nd quickest of the 68 Jaguars here. Its 124.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
