Which one do you prefer, the old XE or the new XE Project 8?
I prefer the popmobile for the grand tour video game.
The new xe is amazing!
After 2 million miles of harsh riding vehicles where you can feel every pebble under the tires and every road imperfection, at this point, I prefer a nice, smooth ride, so I'd take the original XE.
XKE
I prefer the Grand Tour with the tent and the old format that came with it.
Uh...What was the question again?
I really miss these little docs. The new format is awesome but those 3 chaps really know how to narrate.
Best bits are the ones where they tell a story, narrate and talk to each other.
I desperately desire the return of the tent. Anyone else?
@@miketype1each we all do mate, we all do
I hate the new format. They are great 1 or 2 a season but not everyone and only 2 or 3 a year. Last one was crap as was the one before that.
Indeeedes
Jeremy has been single-handedly keeping the British car industry a float for the past 20 years!! :)
You forgot your f for for
Most British car industries aren't even owned by us anymore lol
@@DubbyDominate chinese owned
Umm between him and tiff they smashed the British car industry by slating all of the wrong people and influencing people to buy abroad.

"... Jeremy loves a Jaaaaaag."
I felt that.
Yup Jeremy felt it in his back door 🚪 lol
Jeremy 1 jag
Jaaaaaaaaag
the morphing from the old to the new transitions were really cool!
SVR Project 8 is one of the sexiest saloons ever made in my opinion. Pure beast.
quadrifoglio gta too ❤️
@@harrysingh199 true, I just want my car to last longer than five minutes before breaking down. Hence why the Project 8 wins for me :)
@@harrysingh199 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@danvalentine2997 🤣🤣🤣🤣 seems like you two have just started watching car videos
@@bs12984 possibly, but having owned Jags and an old Alfa I know a fair bit about cars and more importantly, what I like. :)
The only thing stronger than this car's engine is Clarkson's belt...
Lmao... that's horrible. But so true
I have an idea; Let’s all stay young and problem solved 🤦🏻♂️
@@alcantarainterior8078 I have an idea, let's not get into bad eating habits 😄 99% of obese and overweight people are fat because of overeating. there's only very small number of population that's overweight due to health conditions. but yet somehow if you ask your random woman, they always have thyroid problems XD

One of the best pieces of car journalism here, the Jeremy we love shining through the seriousness of telling us the stats and information of the jaaaag. Still to this day when I get asked why I bought one I just tell them to watch this episode.
You bought a diesel xe I take it?
@@djwalker420 Comes with a free house for the money, I've heard.
And then you woke up.
You didn't get a project 8 mate
Jeremy is a big Fan of Jag. But he got the reason. These cars are unique
You know the main reason is because it's a Jagggg. And you could get away with things while you're in a Jaggggg
Unique in a bad way.
You go around being negative in every reply. Try some omega 3s. Your frontal lobe is calcified.
No unique because they are classy, sound menacing, and extremely fun to drive
Yes they may be unreliable but tons of cars are these days
Still one of the only European brands to still use superchargers
Not unreliable.
"It costs 4 times more than the regular car!"
My ape brain : *yeah but it's 4 times the car so Huh Huh, big V8 go BRRRR*
it's not freezing at all
I respect Jaguar for still using superchargers. I don’t know for how much longer, but until then, we’re lucky. I don’t know if many people have experience driving supercharged motors but let me tell you, it’s a a completely inefficient, fuel guzzling riot 😂
In fact, the latest bunch of F-Types are surprisingly frugal for their size - someone I know did a 187 mile journey at an average speed of 61mph and got 32.4mpg. In an F-Type SVR! A similar journey in a 300PS 4-pot F-Type returned 37.4 mpg. Of course, drive 'em like you stole 'em and you will drop the fuel gauge pretty quickly. :-)
I have a 2015 XF with the supercharged 5.0 and I can get 30mpg on the freeway between 70-80mph. But yeah, drop the go pedal into the carpet and she gets real thirsty real quick!
same here with my 3 liter V6 supercharged XE, highways and she'll save me money, but put the foot down and money flies out of my exhaust pipes
Yep, it's the cool factor aswell; the things that you just cannot and really shouldn't be replacing in cars.
Yes, the electrics do 0-60 in 1.2seconds, or 0.02 whatever it is now - but anything below 5 is still heck of fast really. And there's 0 soul and sensation without the noise so the electrics are on a mission to literally nothing.
Doesn’t lag like a turbo. I drive an XF (V6). Depends upon how you drive. My car has given me a terrible mileage of 8-12 miles per gallon (US) when I was revving it really hard. However, when I drive it on eco mode on highway……and trust me….I usually drive it at 80-90 miles per hour; I was fortunate enough to get 25-28 miles per gallon. Which is insane for an XF
That's one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen!
I was pretty much wowed as soon as I looked at the XE.... The Supercharged V6 sounds sooo good. Along with that comes the design... The Old one looked stunning already, and the new one just looks even better... All in all, its a hell of a masterpiece
Great transition animation on the differences between cars. Makes you appreciate the effort, the team on the Project8 has done.
Love Jaguar it’s in a class of its own
I think even before Jeremy said anything, this is one of those you can not take your eyes off.
It's when you hear a supercharged V8, or a naturally aspirated Ferrari V12 that makes you think although electric cars are the future of daily drivers, they cannot stop car manufacturers from making combustion engines for magnificent cars likes this! Even though it's a select few that get to drive them I still love to see and hear them revving to the red line!
E-fuel is the answer. E85 with E-fuel is a cheap option.
I love my Jag XE, it just feels like it has everything you need built into it. The speed, comfort, space etc is all there!
The XE is fantastic, that's my car in the last 5 years and still moving on, lovely 💙
The Project 8 is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. 💙
I prefer the new one. That aggressive look makes it even more beautiful.
What so hype about jag all jags are well dressed up mazda that new xe is a mazda 6 lol well dressed up
But Do you prefer it over an M5 or an RS7. Yeah didn’t think so. I’d rather have either of those rather then 2 of these jags.
@@yourvault1612 Yes i prefer it over an M5 or RS7
@@willpark7483 that’s cuz you have no clue what you’re talking about. This jaguar is $190,000. Only smart people have that kind of money in their pocket and smart people will not choose this over an R8, S63, M8, E63 which are all like $50k cheaper but still way better than the jag
@@yourvault1612 How are they better? I said i prefer the jag. You couldn’t tell me how a supercharger work never mind justify how a modern 5.0 supercharged V8 saloon (/track weapon) is worse than the strange list you gave me.
The photography on Top Gear and the GT is so underrated. It was always ahead of its time
It's a hit show sold all over the world with copy cat versions all over the world. How is that underrated you cockwomble? You're just copying other people's inane comments. Ever had an original thought?
@@markfox1545 give yourself a pat on the back fella
one of these jags went past me last wk on the german autobahn, the noise was ridiculous ! Well done Jaguar
Still the best car reviewer in the world! Hats of Jeremy 👏👏👏
I have had a xj with 510 ps for 5 years and I now have xjr with 551 ps....beautiful cars and no problems. Both over 100.000 km. Elegant and fast......
What a fantastic sounding car 🔥
Jaguar : damn engine is too heavy lads
also jaguar : lets just make whole front end carbon fibre
Great car, I have the f Pace SVR which is also blisteringly quick, SUV practicality with 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Same engine and transmission, and pretty good handling. I love it.
Those are dope man. There’s a used one by me selling for $70,000
When they ask you...Do you say ...I own a Jaaggggggggggg??
@@farmsquatter625 No, but driving with the window down the other day I heard some people I know say "Here comes the Jaaaag". My last car was an XJ which I had for twenty years. At age 66 I seem to have gone from what was judged to be an old man's car to what is a bit of an insane boy racer car. The thing is, put it in eco mode and its a pretty smooth ride. But even in eco mode, floor it and all hell breaks loose.
i just love this car , the look,sound,performince, if i whould have the opportunity to own a car collection of any kind this one whould be my first pick surprisingly it do'es not get the appreciatiom it deserves
Really love the grand tour and Clarkson and Richard and James may they have knowledge and wisdom on cars we can learn so much from THem
Some amazing cinematography as typical of Top Gear. Dynamically showing the changes from one car to the other was brilliant. Other car reviewers need to take note on that!
Other reviewers have a fraction of the budget that Amazon does..
It's terrifyingly amazing when Jaguar makes a fast car.They make sure it's the absolute fast car you can buy that performs better and is faster than any car that's more expensive with similar specs
This thing doesn’t even come close to an M5 or an RS7 when you look at it overall. Not even close.
@@yourvault1612 well it's a sedan just like them in it's own taste but it's the cheapest brand of a jag you can buy and they modified it like this.I guess the goal was to create a sleeper cause that's what you do with very cheap cars when u mod them
@@lionyleftwich4418 did you even watch the video?? The base price is $188,000 dollars. $150,000 in euros. Can you imagine what you can get for that price that is way better, yes you can get a sedan like m5, E63, S63, rs6, RS7 for litterally $50k-$60k less and the thing is all those cars I listed are so much better litterally in every way especially the interior compared to this jaguar project 8… for way less... This is insanity lol. They’ll never sell these.
@@yourvault1612 well like i said,it is the cheapest model jag you can buy unless it's modified like this 1
@@lionyleftwich4418 no you can buy a jag for $40k wtf are you talking about?
We need more of these shows.
This thing sound brilliant, it sends shivers down my entire body. I love the sound of a jag v8. It's just perfect yes.
I bloody love Jags, and yes I'm an owner of old ones as well. There is just something about them. Once you've gone Jag everything else is just some car.
so sad .. but so true
Jeremy’s belly now is at highest stage.
He’ll be buggered getting into a Lamborghini! 😂
He needs to slim down and eat more healthy if thinking about his heart. He should go on a 95 %raw food vegan juice fast using a blender. Eat just max twice a day. He can add 4 raw egg yolks if no salmonella! He will lose the hunger spell when not cooking his food.
That front hole punched vent style looks so damn cool
Nice to see Jeremy so excited 😁👍😊
Absolutely love Jaguar latest cars
"Suspension?" "Oh yes, it has one."
The revs of engine it's nice music, absolutely stunning!!
the music with the supercharger mind causes some butterflies in my trousers
Not a fan of the Jaguar but this got me excited, will defitinitely get me talking, well done Jag
Lads, I just got myself a 2017 Jag XE 20d (diesel). Loving it so far! When are you Britons bringing more diesel Jag sedans to the US of A ;)
I am in love with the front bumper
thumbs up for editing and videography
I'd love to listen to jezza commentating on boxing lol
I own a XE 300sport. I love it, I wish they just made a XE SVR though instead of a 'project 8'
I have a 2018 XF 25T, i like it so much 🚗
I took a project 8 for a test drive. Was amazing but I had just gotten the M5 F90 so decided against it. Was truly awesome though.
Thats an awesome piece of kit
God I’ll miss the noise of combustion cars when electric takes over
I used to think that, then I owned EVs, 5 years now .... nope, don't miss it at all, massive, instant torque and just massive grunt more than make up for the lack of sound.
Combustion engines are going nowhere. You will see that in upcoming decades.
Synthetic fuels are also being researched on and they are very clean too with minimal or no emissions at all..
Hope so combustion engines stay around till end of times. Nothing beats their sound. Not even instant torque. 💪
@@johnborgum6451 Refrigerators used to fuel powered too at some point and they said the same thing about electrification. But since we only have a few key players in automobile industry and they all seem to be gearing towards electric cars - it’s inevitable that combustion engines would get replaced or becomes like an enthusiast’s purchase. Volkswagen already announced plans to go fully electric by 2035
@Minute Man have to agree with him. I have my loud weekend toys but if I had to go all electric I don't think I'd miss it too much. Have a model 3 as a daily and it does things I wish my gas cars could do. Power delivery is just perfect.
electric wont take over ,
stay positive!
Ok, I loved this!
He still cares about the humble 4-door saloon.
That car is stunning.
Man do I miss this show and its predecessor. Those were good times...
It's a Jaaag...
So correct me if I'm wrong but at this price point wouldnt this compete with an m5cs? And if yes I'd love to see them go toe to toe
project 8 wins beating the m5 cs round the nurburgring by 11 seconds
This video made me love my 25t even more
I was excited, for a minute. It was new in 2017, when the film was made - but (at time of typing) it's 4 years old. I wait in hope that a new XE comes out.
Me and all car lovers will always will support any automotive project that turns the dial up to 11 and tells accounting to get tossed! Hat tip to Jag. Love to see this one a modern V8 vanquish to make a off the charts new XKE baby, maybe even front wheel drive electric.
Gorgeous car that!
Love how he always explain things so even an idiot know what he is on about :D
I recently picked up a Jag XE 35t, and that alone is quite quick. This thing would just be an absolute monster.
The best part is the pseudo Holden insignia on the rear panels 👌
Well Harry Metcalfe was a consultant for the Project 8, so you'd think they'd get it right in the sweet spot.
I’m a Jaguar XE owner, and I’m more than happy. This is a beast.
I’m thinking of buying one, what’s your honest appraisal as I’ve heard a lot of negatives
That new one is just brilliant!
Bloddy Nora!
Brilliant episode ✅
I love the way these videos make me feel. I get so exciting and a lot of goosebumps when Jeremy is so enthusiastic. I only had this once before, with the Mclaren P1 Widowmaker video with Jeremy. I want oneeee :-(
Jag's always sound nice. Or at least SVR (or w/e the division is called) Jags do.
Special Vehicle Operations. The symbol/logo looks like an SV, with the O being the circle around the 2 letters margined slightly to the left. Then the Red R is on the right side, just about halfway outside the circle. But Yes, we call them an SVR. Technically it should be an SVOR, but that got kinda weird to say. I love mine, ( 2018 F-Type Convertible SVR, Victory Blue, with all the carbon fiber I could upgrade. She has the Titanium-Inconnel Exhaust, too, which makes her really growl.)
I like it. Wish they'd reconsider offering the XE in the US. Very nice and practical automobile.
If you can, get a 35T while they're still around. I have one and will be hanging on to it as long as I can, because there isn't a replacement Jag I'd buy.
Yeah, they have them. I picked up a 2017 XE for less than $16k!
The sound of the P8 breathing as it flies pass is enough to make u deliberate if u can get away with selling one of your kids😮😂
Project 8 is stunning....
Jeremy is a human treasure. He must be protected at all costs.
I hold him as high as Attenborough as a national icon.
If only he’d take something as fundamental as physical activity seriously
I just had a thought.
Imagine the Project 8 and the Giulia GTAm having a race.
Oooh i've had a crisis 😳😳
A certain Harry Metcalfe was a consultant on that project, apart from being Jeremy´s farmer neighbour he also owns the Countach and Testarossa the boys has a go in. Same cars also decorated the Top Gear studio. And he founded something called Evo..
Idk how many times I rewatched the intro of this review during the first pandemic
Had my Xe RSport for 3 years, got it 2nd hand 2016 model and I love it, I smirk when I see Audi and BMW drivers as I know they paid more for a worse car. Grabbing a new one in 2024 just before cars become obsolete and turn into soulless computers.
I’m thinking of buying one, what’s your honest appraisal of them as I e heard a lot of negatives
@@jonniea6601 Well I now have the new shape the 2020 Reims and it's great, however I do think the interior of the 2019 model is better. But they are both way better looking than the competition and the drive is outstanding, the way the chasis handles for such a big car is amazing. Jaguar for all electric in 2025 so it's going to be your last chance to get one soon, am going to order a new one just before they go full electric.
Who remembers when Jeremy said on Episode Bmw M5 e60: "Best car i ever driven"
well he didn't own one
Well the rod bearing got in the way of any of the three owning one
5am and Im watching TGT!
Top gear would never be the same
Miss These guys
Jaaags are so much nicer to drive than the all look the same across the range German cars. More refined and individual. Could be the reason I am now on my sixth Jaaag, a delightful XJ Portfolio.
This car is nothing compared to an M5 or an RS7. Absolutely nothing.
Who else thinks Clarkson's the best automotive presenter?
The tour is great
Never heard of this before. But I want one now
I wish I had the money to buy one of these fresh out of the factory
I don’t think they make it anymore, this video is 4 years old.
@@AtheistOrphan hey man quit spoiling my fun I don't have the money or time to get one of those
Why are we watching videos from years ago with no indication whether Jeremy will ever review another car other than on a special? Bring back a proper show!
Congrats on the new baby Clarkson
Its like a Giulia GTAm from Jaguar. About same price as well. Good competition so it seems. Impressive car.
I love the modern-day Jags, the XF and the XE, but I wouldn't spend 150,000 pounds on one no matter how fast it was. Also, that must be a very bumpy piece of road Clarkson is driving on because he is bouncing around all over the place in those shots from within the cabin. I'd love a Jag but just give me a 5.0 litre supercharged XF, that'll do me.
As much as I liked Jags, think this was a stupid move from the company. No M3 equivalent, but then you put out one that's 4x the cost of a normal XE? Should've made one without the carbon ceramic brakes, the stupid looking wing, a tuned up V6 with the wider body and sold at a cheaper price.
Yep. Also, the V8 does fit, because the V6 is the same damn block casting, just with the rear pair of cylinders blanked off! An £80k XE-R with RWD and 500bhp would have been great.
Jaguar have upped their game big time.
The dry ice budget alone must be massive.
See this is why Jaguar doesn’t make money.
May GOD always bless you and your families with lot of blessings and happiness in your life.
@Capt Shiny Ricky Gervais
Which one? My favourite is Ganesha.
the best automotive storyteller of all time. amazing, I want one.
What a beast looks like a cross between a 🇦🇺ford FPV and holden HSV .
Not to impressed , the jag use to have a distinct body, now it pretty much looks like everyone else.
Investing in crypto is the best way to earn financial freedom.
Investing in today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading Bitcoins,gold, silver and crypto secure a better tomorrow.
Without doubt crypto is so money making.
It's nice to hear people discuss about investment, because investment always beat cash.
This is the kind of information that we don’t get from most youtubers.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because I have no idea of how and where to invest in??

Best Car Review ever !!!
Clarkson is funbleeding tastic. He can review a car and make you love it
