It's not an XJS, but, it IS pretty interesting.

Are those valve springs making up the waste gate up top?

That looks bad @ss, blower Bentley meets Jaguar. Love it. Not thinking I'd put it in a Spitfire, but aside from a Bentley replica, I'm not sure what I'd put it in! Something with a huge snout I suppose..

I can't imagine how badly that thing handles with all that weight ahead of the front axle, but, with a power-to-weight ratio like that, who cares? I don't think it was ever really meant to turn corners anyway.

 

Most of the engine is behind the front wheels. The superchargers are hanging out there though. I suspect stopping would be a bigger problem than turning. I applaud the creativity but I am glad my kids aren't driving it.

 

I wonder what kind of power it is capable of, as compared, say, to the 370HP Jag supercharged 4.0L V8 in my XJR. Of course, on that little Triumph, how much power before you totally lose control. Guess it's better suited for.... yes.. the XJS, however you can fit it in there.

Cheers,
