Sounds nice, but I still want a 351 clevo so badly. I guess Ford will never put it back into production :(

I dont think this engine will be anygood, it doesnt have the capacity to produce enough torque, and I dont think they will be puting supercharges on the xr8.

If they wanted a Small Capacity V8 Engine with a Supercharger they would have done just that with the Mustang 4.6L S/C Engine from the SVT Cobra instead of making the Boss Engine back in 2002...

I remember reading somewhere that both Jag V8s will be supercharged but to different levels of output. I presumed at the time that meant a detuned version of the R engine would replace the 8. This changes things -for the better. Maybe the R spec could run with the new Twincharge tech like VW and offer both Supercharger down low and Ford's version of DSG - now that would seriously rock on a V8

Well the XF has been released and it's stunning. retains the current S engines for now though.

The new Jaguar V8 will be available both in naturally-aspirated form and with a supercharger and the basic bottom line is 375kW

What a load of rubbish !
A Premium PAG V8 in a Falcon ? It won't happen. Just because some second rate reporter says it will it's gospel ? I'll wait until FoA says it's a fact before I believe it, and not until then !!! |

yeah I would prefer the 5.8 or 6 litre hurricane V8 over going back to a the 5 litre, sure the Jag unit looks Good but apart from the PEEK power figure we know nothing else about it, and like any news story it will be 80% BS and 20% truth
