And it does have a roll cage and 6 point harness to pin you to the seat, which the original didn't have!

It's purely a PR stunt and the car will never be entered in a serious rally so the improved handling and balance from using the I4 is moot and I doubt it has been or will be tuned to anything like 400 HP.
Also, the XK120 had a six cylinder engine so it would have been more "true to the original" to fit this car with the V6.
But yes, the V8 would have been unsuitable due to being both too heavy and having too much torque.

[QUOTE=OzXFR;1987886...]I think you missed the point Dan....It's purely a PR stunt ... /QUOTE]
If you're right they can line up more managers to sack.. .. this money waster and the two-lips stunt costs a fortune fow which they don't get a single extra client.
They should have spend this money instead on a harmonised product that offers the same kit world wide ; so all 'in control touch' equiped with WiFi and 10Gb media storage,
and so on.. ..instead of stripping the cars for some markets. This way they P*SS off customers the already have. Not good thinking mr, Manager...

This pistonheads article has a great comment that sums up my feelings, knowing it's 100% homage, PR, and just for fun (won't compete):
"It's completely pointless. I love it."
LOL.. and a nod to the funny panel alignment joke.... the photoshoot alone absolutely decimated that car. LOL =)
