Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia has announced that two units of the Jaguar F-Type Project 7 will be available for Malaysian buyers. The first Jaguar performance vehicle from JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations team, only 250 units of the Project 7 will be hand-built in England.
The Jaguar F-Type Project 7 made its debut at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The roadster pays tribute to one of the most famous and iconic racing Jaguars: the three-time Le Mans winning D-type, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. The ‘7’ in the name pays homage to Jaguar’s seven outright Le Mans wins.
The fastest and most powerful production Jaguar ever built is motivated by Coventry’s 5.0 litre supercharged V8, now in 575 PS/680 Nm form (25 PS over the RM1.16m F-Type R Coupe). That’s enough for the all-aluminium-bodied Jag (1,585 kg) to do the 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed auto and second-gen Electronic Active Differential. Carbon Ceramic Matrix brakes (398 mm front and 380 mm rear discs, six- and four-piston monobloc calipers), available as an option on the F-Type R Coupe, are standard here.
Also included is Torque Vectoring by Braking which, working in conjunction with the diff, enables “extremely precise handling”. Bespoke carbon-fibre aero aids and a unique suspension set-up also contribute to the cause. Jaguar says that this car generates 177% more downforce than an F-Type Convertible at 300 km/h.
The windscreen length is reduced by 114 mm, reducing overall height by 30.5 mm, with new side windows to match the profile. A specially designed “Bimini roof” clips on to the convertible header rail, and can be folded and stowed in the boot, which offers 196 litres of space.
Interested customers, or should we say collectors, can contact Sime Darby AutoConneXion or Sisma Auto branches. Price is on application, but if you need to ask…
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Sure kena sapu already. Got money oso no need to ask.
I see the element of Lotus in it. Ah Beng proud becoz Lotus owned by DRB..
This car got low RV. It is like Bee Dees bra, it has lower RV than Wacoal bra.
250 units is relatively little, probably not selling well?
Its a rare special edition car with no roof tailored specifically for a niche market, how many cars do you want them to make 100,000?
Jaguar is second most hailat in RV after Kimchis. Good luck.

Now who can that be?
How is the “roof” installed when there’s no rear windscreen? Or else, the owner better hope it doesn’t rain when he takes it out for a spin.
Never buy British except big breakfast and milk. Want a conti car with Malaysian price? Get the latest Camry. You will never go wrong with sushis.
Buy Toyota better. Good RV.
