Sometimes folks read into the sales material thinking the powertrain in their Victory Edition is that of Rocketsports Racing Jaguar XKR. They are simply mistaken.
From the 2006 XK sales brochure about the Victory Edition;
"The very first XK was built to showcase a remarkably strong and powerful new Jaguar engine. That was in 1948, but you could say the same of the 2006 XK. It is a showcase for our 4.2-liter technologically advanced AJV8 engine, so bulletproof that it shares its basic architecture with that of the 650-horsepower Rocketsports Racing Jaguar XKR. Whether you are making demands of the XK’s 4.2-liter, 294-horsepower V8 or the XKR’s 390-horsepower supercharged V8, you tap into proven strength. The XK’s smooth linear thrust of torque is evident across the entire RPM range, as the engine’s four valves per cylinder optimize every breath of air. Engage its six-speed ZF automatic transmission, and what you hear quickly grows from a low growl to a perfectly pitched roar as the road rushes beneath you and your XK."
