Steady on a bit. That was actually a purpose designed racing engine by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) who were the driving force behind Jaguars sportscar racing program at the time. It's actually an incredible little engine and the later rallycross versions were producing well over 600bhp.
However, if I were to have a car with that engine in it I think I'd like the one it was originally designed for...
Even in the rally configuration, 500 bhp in a four wheel drive car thats smaller than the new Mini would be a scream.
THAT car was designed by Williams Grand Prix Engineering.
