Jaguar Project 8 Vs BMW M3 CS: Can The Big Cat Tame The German Monster?

How hardcore is the Jaguar Project 8? This is the boast, of course: the fastest saloon around the Nürburgring, benchmarked against a Porsche 911 GT3, the most powerful Jag ever. Carbon-ceramic this, track-pack that, downforced, rollcaged and harnessed; £150k of 1-of-300 uniqueness. 

How hardcore? We’ll answer that, but it leads on to a more relevant question: why? Why would you want a sports car shaped like a saloon? Why not, y’know, just have a sports car?

Don't readers get tired of the "BMW Killer" stories? Everyone and their uncle claims to be building one. Every auto writer and his uncle uses that spin in a title to get clicks.

Again we are talking about the highest end of each product - at very high prices indeed. Most here only wish they could "win" one in a lottery - they are unlikely ever to be able to afford a new one otherwise.

It is a special edition car. Anyone can build a run of something and have it do well. It looks a bit silly with a wing as well. If they kept an M3 clone in the lineup then it would be a bit more interesting.
