How about using Jaguar Specialties hardware and this electric motor? https://www.webbmotorworks.com/

Reserve your Webb Electric Crate Motor with a $100 deposit. Build it in a weekend ...... and then I got down to the details:

Final payment will be due upon confirmation of your order. Pricing will vary between $50,000 to $70,000. (41,654 UKP). I've had some good weekends but that's a serious ticket price.

A Jaguar iPace is $81,000 (61,000 GBP) so that sounds like a bargain. Ideally you would need a LS swapped XK8 to begin with, dump the dinosaur engine out of it and drop the electric crate motor in over the weekend. I wonder who will be the first to do that project on this forum?

I have to admit it has crossed my mind as a project maybe in 10-15 years or so. I was thinking a used Tesla Model 3 engine and battery pack (not terribly expensive on ebay) but then I'd have to figure out all the mounts and fits. Yikes.
Also I'd miss the sound of the V8.
