Y a t'il eu une version officielle de X type R supercharged dans la version 3.0 4WD?

 

Merci.

Jag. may not have sold or fully developed the X Type with a supercharger, but there is somewhere that has.

 

“If you are of a nervous disposition and a Jaguar traditionalist, DON’T read any further”

 

As you will read there was a little bit more to it than just fitting a supercharger. I understand many others have tried & all have failed to successfully supercharge an X & put it in daily use, particularly in America.

 

Elite & Performance Jags succeeded in supercharging an X Type. Want one? Est. Cost about same as an XJR less now because development work has been done. The car started as a standard 3.0L if I recall correctly Transfer Box & Gearbox handled this gigantic increase in power with no problems. Some engine & other mods. Required car drove well although not track tested to establish performance & handling capabilities. Before someone else says it I will, it wasn't properly tested.

Elite's engineering & development skills are truly impressive.

This must have been the fastest road going X Type in the World.

Unless someone knows different, I would be interested to know.

 

Still not fast enough? Well they will put Nitros on for you as well. What surprised me was how little interest was shown in this at the time or since. Full article below.

Elite have supercharged an X type. Can convert XK auto to manual box.

 

A 3.0l has been successfully supercharged, same may be possible on a 2.5L

Cost on appliction. Not cheap. Bhp after supercharging depends on condition of engine prior to mod. After you can look at the 325 – 400 bhp area. (confirm with elite) this is an estimate only. 0-60 is unknown.

 

I have no connection with Elite & Performance Jags however I did speak to them last year to verify some of the information below.

I heard the X Type R prototype was powered by a 3.0L v6 engine with a supercharger slapped on top of it, cooling under the bonnet was a problem along with the fragile transfer box. The estate and lack of diesels, plus the fact that Jaguar were loosing a lot of cash at the time, put a stop to it by Ford.

 

Have a read of that link
