Next Gen Jaguar F-Type May Be BMW Powered

Jaguar design director Ian Callum recently said “there’s not a plan” to replace the F-Type quite yet, but that hasn’t stopped Car Magazine from reporting a redesigned model could arrive in 2020.

While there have been countless rumors about the next-generation F-Type, the publication is bucking the rumor mill by saying the model will remain front-engined. While have a handful of reports have claimed the car will be mid-engined, Car says that’s an entirely different model altogether.

I think the first Land Rover from 2003 had a BMW V8. No need to return to those days. I doubt much of this story is true. JLR could easily make their own twin turbo V6 or V8 for the F-Type or any other model.

It would not surprise me if the number of ENGINE makers was reduced in the future- such is already the case with Transmissions. A consortium of makers could pool their resources and come up with viable options that would save money in the market place

More oil leak repairs on the way for JLR technicians.

Thanks for featuring a photo of a 4.0L BMW V8 from approx 1995 - you must've looked long and hard to find this photo.
