Jaguar F-Type GT3 car gets 1.6T, 500bhp...

ATFULLCHAT has a story about Jag's proposed GT3 race version of the new F-Type - it could end up with the Cosworth 1.6T four-pot developed for the Jaguar C-X75 hybrid supercar by Williams F1.

Big HP, small turbo charged engines = time bombs

Sounds good hope it comes off. But why use a 1.6 litre turbo engine when they already have a 5.0 litre v8 producing the same power?

Less weight. If the 1.6 engines become more refined and stable then I think the weight savings combined with a healthy amount of horsepower should produce some rather interesting racing.

The lower the weight of the engine the closer you can get the weight balance between front and rear to be a 50/50 split helping with handling. Also it will help to make the car under the minimum weight so when they add ballast they can place it effectively wherever they want to also help the handling. I have to admit to not thinking about that when i raised the question as to why they wouldn't use the V8.

On a slightly related note have you seen the Emil Frey Jaguar GT3? Its so wide it looks like a DTM car.

It's so wide, it looks like it came straight from the 80s.

I'm living in the past, but shouldn't the smallest engine Jaguar produce be 3.4l?

On a slightly different, (albeit still Jaguar) Autocar have a photo tribute to the XRJ9 and its win at Le mans here. Good for anyone who likes to ogle at Goup C cars.

It could, but it won't. Actually, it probably couldn't anyway.

Mazda has their 2.0l LMP1 engine verging on 500bhp, it grenaded itself for a few seasons before they cracked it though...

I love Hack journalism... The entire article hinges on the Williams F1 connection, and how the F type would be based on CX-75 mechanicals???

Yeah, Right.

Nothing really makes sense about this story. Why would a factory team compete in GT3 with a highly innovative car against BoP-propelled privateers?

For the most part, the only reason small displacement 4-pot turbos are anything other than reliable these days is down to pushing the absolute limits of compression, timing, octane and timing while trying to breathe through a tiny restrictor. Uncork the inlet and you free up a lot of power and can make said power that much more reliable.

Looks nice but no Prodrive involvement as they are already tied up with Aston. I do hope something appears but as time goes on I fear it won't.
