N rburgring cynics, look away now. Today"s news concerns a new lap record, and one with an especially complex caveat. Ladies and gents, the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 has lapped the Nordschleife in 7min 21.23sec, "the fastest ever time by a four-door sedan in production-intent specification."The reason for the complexity is the startling 6m 57.5s set earlier in the year by an extremely modified Subaru WRX STI. Cast that aside and Jag"s Project 8 is essentially the quickest saloon car ever around the Ring, taking 11 seconds out of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (and matching the pace of an independently lapped Ferrari 488 GTB) in the process. Not bad for a 1.7-ton car.Watch the Alfa Giulia"s Ring lap here
