@Lars I've got one as a project rn, gonna restore some needed underside items such as trans pan gasket, front dif seal, and oil pan gasket then next up is carb conversion. Possible routes include centrifugal supercharger, high revving speed monster with more aggressive cams, or twin turbocharged.

@Lars I hope he got one too, cause more people need to experience this car. It's got an insane amount of performance potential

Noel Otto you have a very unpopular opinion lol

E-Type

I'd argue the older models such as the E-Type look better but nevertheless...A fine car in every regard (except fuel consumption)

It looks even better with the widebody 👀

Juan Carlos Damonte ; that's one angry sounding cat!

yes. It will have some sort of collector / scavenge setup, definitely not individual banks.

Think I’ll chop the silencers off my 2014 Vauxhall mokka diesel. That’ll sort it out for sure

It'll be a side-exit exhaust (instead of the twin pipes running over the back subframe and exiting under the rear bumper). Occasionally you'll see black smoke coming out - that's unburned fuel. Typically, once the exhaust system gets hot enough, the unburned fuel ignites, hence sheets of flame... Flames will mostly happen on the over-run, when the throttle shuts down, but there's still a whole load of petrol to burn. It won't light in the low-air environment of the cylinder, it gets pushed down the exhaust too fast to ignite, so it's only as it slows up when it hits the outside air that it gets a chance to burn. Looks cool though, doesn't it?

Thank you for that concise answer. That was exactly what I wanted to know. For sure, it looks extremely cool.

The only reason the V12 Jag was limited to 6500 was in order to avoid damaging the GM Turbo 400 transmission!!!

Build info WOULD be appreciated… I’ve seen this car multiple times and it just sounds heavenly! It’s definitely carbureted 😂

Good new tyres!

+Ricardo Ellison lol I ran my 5.3V12 xjs with open exhoust and I can tell you, they WILL NOTICE... Even if you keep your foot off, that thing is super loud And it'll spit flames too...

Arnout De Vos Damn, damn, damn...then...how about one of those SuperTrap adjustable baffles?...where you add or subtract baffle "plates"? I know the likes of the Corvette uses/used, an RPM, electronic butterfly?....too complex though...how about a simple spring-loaded butterfly valve? I did see the rather recent video of the Walkingshaw machine manuevering in the pits, I'd thought that loud "cackle" was more a function of the state of tune...being as loud as it was....state of tune doesn't affect outright "loudness"?

I have dumpers on my V8 Bronco. So either very quiet, or burbling from the pits of hell. Dumpers are a really good investment

Don't quite know what it is, but I'm sure my dad would know (he's crazy about these things). Then again, although these V12s are meant to be hammered, it is a jag after all :P

***** It's not like anything I've heard, then again, I don't hammer mine quite as hard as this, and this probably has a vastly different injection and ignition setup, as well as possibly uprated internals.

All revs and no go, put a bigblock chev in it less weight and more power

John Smith Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Wait you ARE joking right?

John Smith As Mr Lotto said... I hope you're joking. Most Chevrolet big blocks make _less_ power than the Jag V12 (with just a new intake and exhaust you can make 350-380hp, no problem) and they're not actually that heavy. All aluminium. And for the cost of buying and installing the big V8, you could build the V12 up to 500hp. Or you could go completely mental and bore it out to 7.4 litres and uprate it to TWR race spec to make 750hp. 750 reliable horses too. Those engines were damn near bomb proof, surviving and winning Le Mans happily.

But it's a Jaaaaaag!

Peter Alexander I hear gear changes at 2:23 and 2:54, haven't listened after that. Not many though!
