I seem to remember that. If I recall correctly Jag did say it was going to have a V-12 but they ended up putting a V6 twin turbo in the back. It was actually the same engine that the MG Metro 6R4 rally car had and was a pretty potent bit of kit. Still, not a V-12 though.

The other rumor was that they came with a CD autochanger - 6 disc or whatever. The problem with that was it was built into the car so you had to chose the CD's before the car was built and you couldn't change them after that. I don't know if that's true or not but it's a good story!
