Jaguar contemplates V6 engine for Jaguar XJ and Jaguar XF

Rumor has it that Jaguar is looking at building a new factory for engine construction in the UK. At present, every Jaguar sold in the U.S. comes with an excellent 5.0-liter V-8 engine. But because of the rising prices, the Jaguar XJ and Jaguar XF are all prepared to receive a brand new V6 by 2014. Inflated fuel prices have affected the luxury car market as well because of which most of the manufacturers have taken a step forward for entering into level V6 for the less spirited chauffeurs.

But for the ones who want to do a bit of spirited driving can opt for engines with larger amount of power at a higher price point.
