So-called Project Jennifer is the codename for the BMW-supplied 4.4-litre 560bhp twin-turbo V8, which is due to kick out the long-running supercharged 5.0-litre V8 originally patented by Ford.

Only to be killed off 5 years later if this "plan" alleged to be under consideration comes true.

So they plan to take the market lead for ‘affordable’ high end electric vehicles yet still cant deploy an ICE system capable of interfacing to fruit or robots ... would be some change of position given the rest of the market is 5 yrs (at least) ahead of JLR for car comms ....

As you say, WTF do we know ....

Yeah, but if you buy an ordinary car you need something to distract you from the ordinariness - I buy my Jag to drive, not to "communicate".

I think this is just guessworks and nothing else.

And if it turns out to be true (engine wise), I am very happy that I allready have a 550hp 5.0l V8 with a compressor, instead of a 560hp 4.4l V8 with twin turbo.

I can't say that better mpg is of any consern for me in this kind of car, and I am frankly rather surpriced of how good mpg I can get, if I try - which is no fun...
