...:odd: So the bigger Jag V12 is actually worse than the smaller Merc V8. Huh. :lol: Oh, well. Figures.

Got more images? Like, its interior, or its backside?
 
This thing is awesome. If it ever makes it to the series, they should totally have a bunch of custom parts for it in GT Auto as well as it being paintable because I would have a blast customizing this!

Done. The Jaguar was probably an old engine type.

Where is your like? :)
 
From what I understand, De La Chapelle made three of these. Two were pre-production models, with the V12 Jaguar engine and V8 Mercedes-Benz engine, while only one was a finished product, with the Mercedes V8 - and this third car, astonishingly, seems to have actually been registered for road use too! Which begs a couple of questions.

Firstly, where did this engine come from?

V12 Mercedes-Benz engine:
Displacement: 5987 cm3
Secondly, are you nominating one of the prototypes or the road car? If it's one of the prototypes, the title needs to reflect this. If not, it's fine as it is.

I can't find any confirmation for this though:

Weight: 2313 Kg or 2350 Kg for 4wd
Rear or 4wd wheel drive
