Jaguar Land Rover's V8 to live on despite Ford shutting engine plant

Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed its supercharged V8 will live on despite Ford preparing to shut the factory where it is built.

The 5,0-litre, eight-cylinder engine is currently produced by the Blue Oval brand at its Bridgend plant. However, this factory is set to close in September 2020.

According to Autocar, Jaguar Land Rover will move the production equipment to its West Midlands site and continue producing the V8 itself.

“Manufacture of the JLR-designed V8 petrol engines previously made at Bridgend will move to the JLR Engine Manufacturing Centre, with further detail to be confirmed at a later date,” the company said in a statement issued to Autocar.

Quick review | Jaguar F-Type R Coupe AWD

• Jaguar's latest F-Type range was recently launched locally.

• The 2021 model year derivative benefits from changes to the interior and exterior.

• The range-topping R Coupe model is powered by the carmaker's 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine.

The F-Type R is like an underworld boss. It simply doesn't care about authority or maintaining law and order. It bosses into the market in updated form with arresting good looks, and a V8 supercharged engine that feels like it should thrust a drag car down a strip instead of being allowed on public roads.

We review the V8 RWD Jaguar F-Type to find out if this a great value in the GT car market. The Jag has the personality of a Dodge Hellcat, refinement of the Lexus LC500, and timeless styling. What is not to like?

We discuss the good, bad, technical and so much more. No matter if you are a BMW, Honda or Twinkee fan, you will find something in the video to walk away with.

 
Jaguar celebrates E-Type’s 60th anniversary with F-Type Heritage Edition

Considered by many to be among the world’s most beautiful cars, even by Enzo Ferrari, the Jaguar E-Type is turning 60 next year and the British carmaker is celebrating by unveiling a special edition of its modern sports car range, the F-Type.

Fittingly just 60 Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60 Edition sports cars will ever be made.

The edition is based on the F-Type R, which means that power comes from a 5-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine that produces 423kW and 700Nm, which goes to all four wheels to allow a 0-100km/h sprint in 3.7 seconds.
