The V12 engine in the concepts origins were in the DOHC 48v V12 that was was supposed to be used in the Jaguar XJ13 LeMans car from the 60s, but it only made 450 BHP, which despite the cars advanced aerodynamics wouldn't get it to the desired 220 MPH top speed, it also wouldn't meet emission regulations, so Jaguar then trialled a detuned V12 from the XJR-11 Group C car but eventually settled on  a 3.5 litre V6 twin turbo which, contrary to popular belief is not a Metro 6R4 unit but actually has more in common with the XJR-10 IMSA GTP car.  The 4-wheel drive system was found to be too ...
