Jaguar Xk8 Verendum on 2040-cars
Berlin, Maryland, United States
|
1997 Jaguar XK8 Verendum. This car has been a project of mine for the last year. I build supercars from otherwise normal cars. This Jaguar xk8 has been made to look like a Jaguar no one has ever seen. The body was imported from the UK from a company called Paragon Designs. The body alone costs $6500. I also incorporated the new style tail lights on this build. These are Jag XF lights around the back. The body is made of Fiberglass and it is SOLID! The Lambo doors were added to give it that supercar feel. They are from Vertical Doors and were $1200. The wheels are Lexani Lust 20" with Nitto 555 tires wrapped around them. These wheels cost $3800 with the tires. Lastly we did a custom Plasti Dip Spray on it. It is Copper Pearl with black accents. This product can be removed (like taking off a glove) and you can paint it whatever you want. This is a satin finish and is very durable. Plasti Dip $1000 Total exterior totals $12,500 Moving to the interior I recovered the front seats with original Jag leather $1200. New speakers all around Rockford 6.5" $200 and a DVD multimedia Radio from Power Accustic $150. Total interior $1500 Engine runs perfect on this car. New Battery $125, Plugs, Knock Sensors, Oil Pressure sensor and Updated computer. $ 1800 I cut off the rear most silencer and added 4" tips through the rear defuser to give it that new modern look. Exhaust $300 So there you have it a car that will make your friends envious that you have a ONE OF A KIND. Yes You will have the only one of these cars here in the US. I am the only one that had this body shipped in from the UK. Enjoy! |

Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup
Tue, 03 Dec 2013As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
Jaguar launches new classic racing series
Fri, 14 Nov 2014One-make racing series have become all the rage for customers who want to actually race their exotic sports cars (or competition-spec versions of them, anyway). Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini and Aston Martin all offer such programs, and Porsche supports several. Now Jaguar is getting in on the action as well, but instead of turning one of its production models - we're looking at you, F-Type - into a spec racer, it's launching an historic racing series instead.
The 2015 Jaguar Heritage Challenge will be open to cars made by the Leaping Cat marque before 1966, including the C-Type, D-Type, E-Type and Mk I and MkII sedans. The series, which builds on the success of the previous Jaguar E-Type Challenge, will be administered by the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC) based at Silverstone and will include four races in the UK and one in Europe, with the exact schedule still to be determined.
The program was announced at the launch of the Jaguar Heritage Driving Experience, where Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations director John Edwards was also named chairman of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, replacing former Jaguar managing director Mike O'Driscoll who chaired the organization for the past five years.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
