Default Do you know the meaning of this badge?

Ive bought a jaguar f-type. 2017, V6, RWD and he came with this badge on the rear and on the central dashboard. Is this some kind of personal badge from the previous owner or there is a specific version?

Never seen it before and it sure doesn't look like any OEM badge I have ever seen.
Definitely not a factory F-Type version badge.
Probably added by the previous owner or maybe the dealership.

Which year was the 400hp tune offered? Maybe it’s related to that?

That badge might refer to something that you wouldn't want to be associated with. If you don't know what that badge represents, I suggest that you remove it. It's probably affixed to the rear of your car with automotive adhesive tape and can be easily removed using dental floss and a hair dryer. Use the hair dryer to soften that tape and work the dental floss back and forth to remove the badge. A little cleaner wax and it's like it was never there. See the online urban dictionary and Google.

Have you tried Google Image Search to see if you can identify it?

It is, but the logo doesn't look like the badge in question. I'm not saying it's not related, but I haven't seen that particular logo. As noted above, if you don't know what it is, you should remove it. I would. You might be getting unexpected waves and undeserved dirty looks waving an unknown flag.

I’ll buy the Quail’s explanation and I recommend you get it off ASAP. What an obnoxious label.

Agreed, I'd almost prefer if it was the second meaning "
7%a term used to describe something that is retarded. (backwards, overly excited, challenged, dimwitted, etc.)

the term is used to highlight how little of a idea makes sense, or how little of ones brain someone at a particular instant was using.

politically incorrect either way: this term was originally coined for our disabled public, but is now used in a more common slang manner."the dog went totally 7% when I got home last night!""

Wow! That is FAR worse that a gang or other notorious symbols. At least the gang member REALIZE they are being brain washed whereas the religious zealots seldom have a clue. LOL
Get it off the car FAST before someone associates you with other nutcases that send $$$s into those loony-tune stations in exchange for a "holy handkerchief".

The 7% badge or the 700 religious service badge brought me bad luck.

Default The Hidden Meaning of 70

Simple arithmetic:
Traditional ... 2 = 1+1
Kinky ... 70 = 69+1

Be forewarned, NOT rated PG. Look up 70 on https://www.urbandictionary.com/
