Jaguar XJ6 Will Warp Your Face With 1,000 HP 8.8-Liter V8 And Nitrous

This custom Jaguar XJ6 is likely the most remarkable of its kind in existence and while we wouldn’t quite consider it a sleeper, it certainly offers more performance than you may expect. Slotted beneath the bodywork of the British sedan is a 540 cubic-inch (8.8-liter) V8 with a nitrous systemthat pumps out no less than 1,000 hp. However, this wasn’t simply a matter of bolting on a new engine and calling it a day.

The Jaguar was also updated with adjustable coilovers which is important as the owner frequently races it, even though you could be fooled into thinking it is more of a show car. In a recent video with AutotopiaLA, the owner says his personal best quarter-mile time in the car is a 9.85-second run. That’s supercar levels of performance. Comprehensive modifications have been made to the front end of the car. Most notably, the standard hood was cut and a massive bulge was hand-fabricated to sit above the engine. A lot of work has also been done to the XJ’s cabin. For example, it features a bespoke leather-trimmed wheel and an entirely new dashboard with bespoke gauges, as well as racing harnesses and a full roll cage.
