Verdict 7.4 / 10 You’ll find Jaguar Land Rover’s epic supercharged, 5.0-liter V8 in everything from the Jaguar F-Type sports car to the large-and-luxurious Range Rover Sport. We love this engine – it’s powerful, silly loud, and can launch even the largest vehicles to 60 miles per hour with sports …
