Goodwood

Having established its range of garden-variety sedans and wagons, Jaguar has set about restoring its credentials as a genuine challenger in the performance car market. Step one was the F-Type Project 7, but even that pales in comparison to the prototype you see here, the XE SV Project 8.

Caterham has delved (even further) back in time to find inspiration for its latest offering. The new Seven Sprint might use the same underpinnings as its entry-level Seven 160, but all the details are firmly rooted in the 1960s.
