What with the F-Pace SVR, the E-Pace and the XJ's 50th anniversary, Jaguar has had plenty to keep occupied with besides the 600hp XE Project 8. However, development of the car is still on track (in both a literal and a figurative sense, as you'll see here), with customers due to receive their cars during 2018.

This video shows the XE in the hands of David Pook, Andy Wallace and Davy Jones, driving at Goodwood as part of a media event that took place recently. (You can read about the Autocar passenger ride here.) And with the last vid of the car having been that Nurburgring lap of last year, it's good to see and hear it again on a UK track.

Naturally the comments are extremely positive from those behind the wheel, though it should be said as well that the Project 8 looks very comfortable and at home on the Goodwood Motor Circuit. We look forward to seeing more soon...
