When Ford owned both Jaguar and Volvo, there were rumors of the Volvo I6 seeing use in future Jags - too bad then that Volvo went to Geely instead of Tata. It is a pretty stout engine - on par with an N55 in my opinion. Would have made a nice engine for the F-Type (reconfigured for longitudinal application, of course).
