Previously the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio had recorded a lap time of 7 min 32 sec, but, Jaguar managed to slash it a full eleven seconds off that record with the hardcore XE SV Project 8 prototype.

John Edwards managing director stated, "SVO exists to push the boundaries of performance, luxury and all-terrain capability. The hand-assembled XE SV Project 8 takes that principle to the limit, extracting supercar-beating performance from Jaguar's most compact four-door sedan. The Nürburgring Nordschleife record underlines our commitment to deliver the most extreme Jaguar ever to Project 8 clients, who will soon experience this sensational sedan for themselves."
