Why We Picked It:
The Jaguar Project 7 roadster concept premiered at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2013. Jaguar's new two-seater convertible sports car, the F-Type, won the World Car Design of the Year 2013 award and is the basis for Project 7.
Notable exterior modifications compared to the F-Type included a fairing behind the driver’s head, a lowered windscreen, a redesigned front bumper, a new front splitter, side skirts, and a rear diffuser made from carbon fiber. The one-of-a-kind interior of Project 7 included a composite single-seat outfitted with a racing harness, a helmet holder, and distinctive upholstery.
The blue paint job of Project 7 is a nod to the winning Jaguar D-types of 1956 and 1957, and the car's moniker, "Project 7," honors Jaguar's record-setting seven victories at Le Mans between 1951 and 1990.
The high-performance sports automobile "Project 7" was a fully functional concept. The F-TYPE's robust all-aluminum design is an excellent foundation, and the 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque from Jaguar's 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine are significant improvements over the F-TYPE V8 S.
