Discover the 2016 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 in Forza Motorsport 7. Learn about its powerful V8, rear-wheel drive, and track-focused performance. Your guide to this iconic cat!

Alright, let's talk about a real beauty: the 2016 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7. This isn't just any car; it's a rear-wheel drive convertible sports car that really pays homage to the legendary Jaguar D-Type. You'll find it first appeared in _Forza Motorsport 6_ as part of the _Top Gear Car Pack_, and thankfully, it's made its way into subsequent main series titles too, except for the most recent _Forza Motorsport)_. ### Synopsis This F-Type Project 7 is a limited edition, and it's packing some serious heat. Based on the F-Type Convertible, it's got a 575 hp (429 kW) supercharged V8 engine. That makes it the most powerful F-Type Jaguar had at the time, right up there with the SVR. The whole point of this car was to be a tribute to the classic Jaguar D-Type, and you can totally see and hear that. ### Drivetrain Under the hood, you've got the AJ133 5.0 L (5,000 cc) supercharged V8. Jaguar really tuned this one up to deliver 575 hp (429 kW) and 516 ft·lb (700 N·m) of torque. It's paired with an eight-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission, which you'll operate with buttons – a carryover from the F-TYPE R. ### Platform This car is all about that tribute. It's got an all-aluminum body and features a distinctive 'Aero Haunch' behind the driver's seat, reminiscent of the D-Type. You'll notice it looks different from other F-Type models, partly because of its quad exhaust setup. They even managed to shave off nearly 100 pounds compared to the F-Type R by using a fixed wing and a bikini top. Combined with suspension tweaks and sticky tires, the Project 7 is a fantastic choice for hitting the track. So yeah, check it out, listen to that engine roar, but most importantly, get behind the wheel and see what this big cat can really do.
