It doesn't get more super than a supercharged Supersport. BravePill PistonHeads
of the new Range Rover earlier this week marks the debut of the new BMW N63 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 set to take higher-end JLR models through to the end of combustion. This created an introspective huddle next to the watercooler to consider the merits of the long-lived engine the German donk is effectively replacing, that being the supercharged V8 that has featured in most of the more interesting Jaguars and Land Rovers of the last 20 years.
While all X351 XJs were good, only a couple of variants achieved true greatness. The basic design is well on its way to listed status. Jaguar's long serving head of pencils, Ian Callum, had been frustrated by the retro styling of the X350 XJ he inherited when he took on the roll. The X350 was a hugely advanced car built around an aluminium structure, yet tried to look as close as possible to the 1968 original.
It looked sleek and elegant, but the Supersport was a proper monster when roused. I remember driving a press car to one of the more visually interesting parts of north Wales for a photoshoot. It was early in the morning, the roads were quiet and on a straightish bit of A5 I was travelling at what felt like a semi-legal cruising pace. Then I glanced down at the digital speedo to see the needle adjacent to a number which, if recorded by radar gun, would see me breaking rocks in quarry.
