Just watched a Season 3 episode of ‘Grand Tour’ that had a very good segment on the Project 8. It beat the GT3 RS time on the ‘eboladrome’, their crazy track.

1LostCDN,

I know of a P8 that will be for sale. A friend of mine who is a Jag Dealer has one coming in and the client wants to back out. If you are interested PM me and I will give you his contact info.

Zach

This was at a Jaguar event at the Kuwait Motor Speedway a couple months ago. They took us on hotlaps around the track in an F Pace SVR and had a little course set up where you could drive the I Pace if you wanted. I was pretty impressed at the performance on the SVR compared with the S. Night and day. Last year they had F Types doing the hotlaps. That's what sealed the deal for me to get one. Wifey had her F Pace S in BRG for a couple years now. Was talking to the dealership rep in Kuwait and he was saying that the only F Pace in BRG in Kuwait is an SVR belonging to the royal family.

Default Orange Project 8

Very excited myself - what I believe is the orange P8 that is shown in this thread has made it to Ottawa and I will be picking it up beginning of June! Rather excited to add it to the stable. Significant discount off of list!

Gorgeous car. Special car. I am jealous! Maybe the ONLY car that would have me consider trading the F-Type. Enjoy responsibly !

Thanks! I couldn't part with my F-Type SVR so now I have to mod my garage lol. Im a huge Jag fan in general ever since I was a kid and am a sucker for all JLR products.. My biggest concern now is what is JLR going to do with their next product lines? Stopping production on the XE, massive delay if not outright stoppage of the XJ... Discouraging signs!

I hope you paid under MSRP for it, as it has been sitting at the dealer in Ottawa for a very long time (>1 year).

And the one shown in a post earlier in this thread is still available in Toronto.

Certainly paid significantly less than MSRP (~25% less). The guys at the Hunt Club dealership have always given me an excellent experience and fair deals, and Im quite happy with their services.

Would be interesting to know exactly how many P8s were brought to Canada (I hear the same number as a previous poster of 5-7) and where they all went!

Smile Project 8 on the Track

Thought I would share some quick picks from my recent track day at Calabogie Motorsports park near Ottawa. The car is unbelievable on the track! In this case I left the suspension as standard (e.g. not lowered) as that's a bit of an effort as you really need to do a a full alignment when you drop the suspension. I did take advantage of extended the front splitter and adjusting the wing to track mode.

The guys at Calabogie were absolutely awesome, as were the other drivers. I highly recommend taking your cars to the track if you can!

Default Ground Clearance

What is the ground clearance on it? Just curious if it has any problems with speed bumps, etc.

In standard setting its low but so far no issues with clearance. I expect when its lowered into track mode ill have to be very careful!
