I would've expected it to have fancier rear calipers. Just look like the stock ones painted.

From my spec sheet.

BRAKES, WHEELS & TIRES
Carbon Ceramic Braking System
Project 8 offers the latest Carbon Ceramic Braking (CCB) technology as standard. Consisting of new 6 piston front calipers with 400mm Carbon Ceramic discs and 396mm Carbon Ceramic discs for the rear, Project 8 delivers enhanced levels of sustained braking performance under demanding conditions. To best utilize the high performance Carbon Ceramic Braking System, Project 8 will employ a synthetic racing brake fluid which has an exceptionally high dry boiling point, making it ideal for use under extreme braking conditions such as those experienced on track.

They could it be the regular XE rear caliper with carbon disks and pads, no? Looking at the F Type SVR, the rear calipers are what I would expect on the Project 8. That is not what is in the OP's linked video.



Could it be the production Project 8 will have the SVR's brakes?

You're right mosesbotbol, those rear calipers do look a little small! Odd!

This is not a final production car. The actual final production car will probably have different components. This car is likely just for the show circuit.
