'13 Jaguar V6

[gasgasman]

Some of you may know I'm a tech with Land Rover.
Today the District Rep came by and was giving us an update on future products.

Jaguar has a new Super Charged V6 coming out for 2013. It is based off the current 5.0L V8.

The funny part.........they kept the V8 block,crank etc.
All they did was bolted the V6 heads on. Left the 2 rear pistons out and put plates over the holes.

I had a good laugh then thought.
Jag did that to save R+D costs. No crash testing, trans and drive line remains the same. Motor mounts - same. Radiator hoses-same. A/C lines etc-same.

With today's economy, I guess every penny counts.

Here's the video of the motor.
