Berichttitel:	Porsche V6 motorontwerp in Jaguar X-Type!
Ik heb nu bijna 10 jaar naar volle tevredenheid een Jaguar X-Type V6 3.0 (altijd 4 wheel drive) in executive uitvoering en kom er net achter dat de motor in beginsel door Porsche ontworpen was! Blijkbaar waren ze bezig met een achterwiel aangedreven lichtgewicht V6 voorin concept. Toen de plannen in de ijskast gingen hebben ze het ontwerp aan Ford verkocht. Druk bezig geweest bij Porsche! Originele tekst: The AJ-V6 that would be used in the X400 (X-Type) was a development of the same unit in the X200. If the origins of the architectures were complicated, the engine itself made their lineage seem positively straightforward. The AJ-V6 was based on Ford’s Duratec 25 and 30 V6 engines, usually used in transverse applications. The origins of the engine however were outside of the Ford family. In the early Nineties, Porsche were developing a lightweight 60° all aluminium alloy V6, but as Porsche struggled in the pre-Boxster era and plans for front engine, rear drive designs were shelved (and would be until the 2009 Panamera saloon), the engineering was sold to Ford and Cosworth. How much of this design still exists today is debateable, but it would seem to be here that the Duratec V6’s story began.
