Limited to just 15 units as opposed to the regular Project 8’s 300, the Touring does without its sibling’s adjustable carbon fibre rear wing in favour of a fixed rear spoiler similar to the standard XE.
While still powered by a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 that produces 441kW/700Nm linked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, the Touring’s smaller spoiler has resulted in a reduction in performance with top speed now limited to 300 km/h instead of 322 km/h, though 0-100 km/h still takes 3.7 seconds.
Available in four colours; Corris Grey Satin, Velocity Blue, British Racing Green and Valencia Orange, the latest creation of Jaguar-Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division will, like its sibling, only be offered in left-hand-drive thus making it a no-no for local market introduction.
