The company has announced a limited run of only 250 units, all hand-built by Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations team. Based on the F-Type roadster, Project 7 draws inspiration from the three-time Le Mans winning D-Type. In fact, the name pays homage to Jaguar's seven outright Le Mans wins.

The Jaguar F-Type Project 7 uses a 5.0L supercharged V8 engine rated at 567 horsepower to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 300 km/h. It is fully street-legal, with a removable roof and a 196-litre trunk. An 8-speed Quickshift transmission is part of the mix, too.

Five metallic colours will be offered including Ultra Blue, Italian Racing Red, British Racing Green, Ultimate Black, and Glacier White. Pricing and global availability have yet to be announced.
