If it's a V8 why has it got 6 tailpipes?

My guess would be that it's not straight pipes for each cylinder

An Interesting twist on an XJS, Not 100% sure whether I like it or not. It is very striking, and if the Idea was a futuristic version of an XJS, Why the HE double hockey sticks, did they take out the V12? It's a lot more eye candy, then a dang SBC. Maybe that's why there are no pics of the engine. (oops there is one small pic,Yuck) Also as Steve M noticed there's no symmetry. As six tail pipes could work with a V12, but not a V8??? When you're doing a one off, you need to follow a theme, and all I see here is just overboard, no form follows function.

Just my thoughts.

Jack

lots of things attract people, including train wrecks and gory accidents. Does not make them aesthetically pleasing.

I do appreciate the effort, quality,and work put into this, but it’s more of a personal endeavor and project.

His most likely. But they wouldn't have a Damn Clue, as to what the Hell, it is! Then they would walk off, and forget about it. As it is just a show piece to get your attention. Try to put it on the road, and drive it for a week. I'd be surprised if it made a day, or 2 at the most. Show cars are great But give me something I can drive.

Just my thoughts.

I'm sure there's someone who finds that car appealing. I'm not that someone.

AAAHHHH!!! A Cougar with a little different Growl! Looks like it fits pretty well. I'm sure it has had it's share of Surgery, to get it to fit. But Kudo's, for having the guts to do something different!
