Rumors :

Before the fully-electric Corvette arrives, it is likely there will be a gas-electric or plug-in hybrid model. That version is rumored to offer about 1,000 horsepower from a twin-turbo version of the 5.5-liter V8 with an electric motor driving the front wheels.

That crystal ball.
I believe that GM's commitment to take the whole company electric is a mistake.
We shall see.

Totally agree with you sir

We have a 2002 T-Bird and really like it, I put a Borla exhaust on it and it has a very nice 5.0 sound now, but I still wish it was not so much Jaguar. We have a Volvo C30 with a 5 cyl turbo that will blow away the Jag motor, or whatever it is. I would take the Volvo motor in a T-Bird even if it would make it front wheel drive, it is that much better.

My wife loves her 04 but it's too little for my liking. There is a lot of latent power in that engine starting with the Cosworth built heads how about adding a blower. Jaguar found that the V8 was an excellent platform for adding the Eaton M112 supercharger with it fitting perfectly in the V of the engine and providing the Effortless Performance the AJ26 aimed to deliver.

The new program was given the designation AJ26 (6+8+12=26).  Following the purchase of Jaguar by Ford, the project was carefully re-evaluated and the decision taken to proceed but only with the V8 version at that time.  This took shape as a Double Over Head Camshaft (DOHC) 90-degree unit of 4.0 litre capacity and in late 1992 the Ford and Jaguar boards had given approval for the unit to be produced.  Ford assigned a dedicated building at their Bridgend plant, in Wales, to manufacture the Jaguar "AJ-V8".
Ford US adopted the AJ-V8 in 3.9-litre form (designated the AJ35) for the 2000 Lincoln LS8 and in 2002 for the new Thunderbird; these engines were given the design code AJ35 and were manufactured in the USA.  When production of the AJ35 ceased in 2006 some 250,000 examples had come off the line. In 2002, for the second generation AJ-V8, capacity was increased to 4.2-litres by increasing the stroke and reducing the diameter of the crankpin journals to maintain the same block height.
