That will be crazy, good on Jaguar's part for keeping V8's alive, this is what we needed in a segment like this at a time where it's getting chopped
Jaguar considering XER-S with 542 bhp V8 engine
Jaguar is reportedly working on a range-topping version of the 2015 XE that will be powered by a V8 engine. Jaguar already confirmed that the F-Type's V6 3.0-liter supercharged engine will be offered in the XE, but I guess that isn't enough for them!
Auto Express reports that the motor will deliver 542 bhp. That figure matches the 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine in the F-Type R Coupe. With that engine, the Jaguar XE should have a top speed of more than 186 mph.
The range topping model of XE, the XER-S, will likely be revealed in 2016 following the introduction of lesser S and RS derivatives.
This is something to get excited about.

I knew a V8 would fit and I knew it would come from the F-Type 
although I speculated on only the R, but regardless excellent to hear. I will probably not be opting for such option but heres to having the choice!

They could always make it fit and likely they made it in such a way it can fit a V8.
I want to see what that V8 engine looks like under the hood of the XER-S. I wonder how tight of a fit the engine would be in there. This will be a killer top of the line model for Jaguar.
Indeed, it sounds like they really want to go M hunting. C63 is about to lose its title of snarliest sports saloon.
Thats a question I think a number of tuning companies will ask, have to fit some more forced induction in their somewhere!I want to see what that V8 engine looks like under the hood of the XER-S.

eh, Jags aren't really a favourite of the tuning houses regardless.
Maybe this could change it? Maybe not.
