Jaguar V12 engine


Jaguar's V12 was one of the premiere power plants of the 1970s and 1980s. It was a V12 piston engine, originally designed for a Le Mans car, the ill-fated Jaguar XJ13. The V12 was only Jaguar's second engine design in the history of the company. It had a SOHC 2-valve head with flat combustion chambers.
