Jaguar has released the first video featuring it’s latest Project 7 concept car, a vehicle based on the F-Type sportscar that will be showcased at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Built to honor Jaguar’s seven wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Project 7 single-seater bears resemblance to the iconic D-Type race car and sports an aluminum body, several carbon fiber parts and a unique interior.
As we already told you, the Ecurie Ecosse-painted prototype is power by the company’s 5.0-liter V8 engine that boasts 550 HP and 680 Nm of torque. Now, thanks to Jaguar, we can see it in action for a little bit and hear that engine flex its muscles at the track. Did we say it was inspired by the D-Type? Well, by the sound of that mill, it sure is worthy of such an ancestor.
Scroll below to watch the video and, if you’re headed for Goodwood this year, make sure you look this fantastic concept up.
