Any successful Jaguar xtype 3L petrol Tune Ups

Wanted to know is this beautiful engine with so much potential permissible for any modification: turbocharger or supercharging?

I reckon the engine is tuneable, but the drivetrain can't handle much more than what you get from the stock 3.0 n/a v6

+1 on that; I don't think that the transfer box will handle any more grunt.

I believe Jaguar abandoned this production line way too early, i bliv, a coupe model, a turbocharged kr supercharged models were possible. And even more amd more improvements could have been well tolerated.

They weren't selling enough. Those also probably would not have done. JLR are losing lots of money, especially due to low Jaguar sales, so don't expect any change soon.
