This is arguably the ultimate Must Have for Jaguar enthusiasts! The Project 7 is based on the F-type Convertible, powered by a 5.0 V8 supercharged engine, developing 575 PS (423 kW). For the technically minded Oxford collector, this engine was also used on the F-Type SVR. Jaguar envisage making no more than 250 of the Project 7 and it boasts being their most powerful production car ever, alongside the SVR version. The sleek body is completely aluminium and it features an ‘Aero Haunch’ behind the driver – faithfully reproduced on our replica – as well as a quad exhaust and additional rear spoiler. Performance-wise, it has a claimed acceleration of 1-60 in 3 seconds and a top speed of 186 miles per hour. It is said that it was discovered when designer César Pieri inadvertently showed it to Jaguar’s Chief Designer Ian Callum. It was then a short step to concept, prototype and production.
Oxford have chosen to launch their 1:76 scale Project 7 in a striking British Racing Green with contrasting black interior, roof and wheels and white ‘Racetrack’ type graphics to doors, the front of the bonnet and the boot lid. The effect is rounded off with the Project 7 logo printed in place of the rear number plate and the red Jaguar badge centred in the radiator grille.
