During that time, it was put to use in several iconic cars, purposed for both road use and competition in the likes of the Jaguar C-Type, D-Type and E-type. Alongside their normal escapades during races throughout the Revival weekend, we’ll also be witness to a special parade of up to 75 XK-engined cars with some significant history, including Le Mans-winning cars and period Goodwood race winners.
The XK was an inline six-cylinder engine first introduced as a 3.4-litre for the Jaguar XK120. Following that, it was also lowered into the XK140, Mk7, Mk1, Mk2 and S-Type in varying forms.
From there, the XK was adjusted to a number of displacements. A smaller 2.4-litre version was introduced for the Mk1 and then the Mk2 following that, while a larger 3.8-litre was brought in for the XK150 and later the first Jaguar E-types.
