Do want with the Welsh 5 litre V8. Badly.
This makes no mention of the supercharger, but it's a start (and since a supercharged six is the likely base engine, they'll need to supercharge the eight, too)Said engine must have its concomitant supercharger as well. It ain't a Jaaaaaaag without that combo. Let's face it, who wouldn't want to have the powertrain from an XJ in a car about two-thirds the weight (or less) of an XJ?
Heard (and saw...) it from the grandstands today, sounded very good indeed... Though it was sadly overshadowed slightly by the rest of the machinery that went up the hill today, the New Zonda R Evo for instance or the Jaguar XJR-9...

Getting excited, should be pretty cool.
Holy crap, that sounds good. Way better than I was expecting for a V6 song, especially when it's an engine where they just lop off two cylinders from the existing V8 rather than start from scratch. Way to go, Jaguar!Here is some footage of it being tested without the voice overlay
