From the smallest compact car to the largest 4x4, all cars can easily gain a few extra horsepower quite easily if they have some sort of forced induction. Usually, that means turbos but this time we've got a supercharger, the best-sounding supercharged engine in Europe at the moment.
We can only be referring to the Jaguar F-Type V8 S, producing a very respectable 495 PS from its 5-liter engine. Even though it humiliates the Porsche 911 Carrera S in this respect, people have been complaining the Jag doesn't have as much grunt as an XKR-S with the same engine.
No problem, just take it to a chip tuning company like ShiftTech and they will fix it up. After a quick tune, the F-Type dynos at a much more impressive 560 PS, as much as a 911 Turbo S. Now that's more like it.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
