Default "SV8" Badge

I like the look of this badge on the SC cars in Europe. Wonder why they didn't use them here in NA?

May have to order one.

I think it looks better than the supercharged badge which in my opinion is a bit small and hard to read, but I'm not sure people would know what SV8 means. At least with the supercharged badge it isn't confusing. SV8 could mean quite a few things to those that don't know the car.

Becuase in Europe you can get the XF with 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engines. In North America it only comes with a V8 so it's unnecessary to state that. We just get the "supercharged" designation since that's the main differentiator between our engines.

I believe the SV8 was a filler model for the UK market until the XFR was ready. It was discontinued when the XFR was released.
