What happens when you give a Ford Mondeo engine to the people at Cosworth? Well, you end up with the Palmer Jaguar JP1, a trackday prototype that makes the most of the Ford Duratec V6.

[@tony66au]

Ford have a history of creating incredible production engines that then go on to be further developed by others to be absolute rippers, the V6 Duratec we only really saw in the Modern Jag S type here in Aus but the 2.0 Duratec we got in Mondeo's (I have a Manual). Another example of Fords engine prowess is of course the iconic Barra and they too are being whanged way beyond their original intended use with the ironic part being that its the dedicated "Green Top" LPG/Propane engine that is the best platform for a performance build most commonly found in Taxi's and Tradie Utes. Im a Jag fan from way back and much as I dont like the shape of the modern S im now tempted to find one to have a play.

Tbh, 277hp out of 3.0L its way below what some of the stock cars made, like 2 decades ago. Should be more like 377. Despite this i love this car and video.

[@DavidMalenczak]

I agree, 277 does seem a bit low for a Cosworth Tuned engine, maybe its built for longevity. There are a few guys on the kit car forum who have used the AJ30 (Jag engine) one of them saw 270ish. It turns out that Jag turned the wick back for emissions. It also helps to have the VVT turn on and off again as you come up the revs. I would have expected the Cosworth guys to be at 320+ I believe that Mountune did the V6's for BTCC and they were monsters by all accounts.

[@jareknowak8712]

@@DavidMalenczak I dont think that You need VVT, bc on the track the engine works only in the higher rev band. Many 3.0L liter from older BMWs are used in HillClimb racing. They ofen have 400+ hp. 133+ hp/1Liter is nothing unusual, this engine gives only 92. Many of 2.0L inline4 have over 300hp.

Hi peeps, a quick correction, this car was not the brain child of J Palmer. I was built and raced in the late 1999 to 2000 national supersports car series by the creator and it was called a Zeus. Back then it had a Vauxhall 2 ltr 260hp engine in the back and i think it won the championship around that time. J Palmer bought the rights to make the car back then for his virgining racing school... 20 year old tech, a quick car non the less.
