MX-5 V12?

It's the Jag V12 from the XJS, I believe.

MX-5 V12?Yeah that's what I recall it being - it was on Jalopnik a long while back.
I did some digging and came across a forum there a guy claimed it was his - he said it was a Jag motor (I recall reading elsewhere it was an XJS) but he'd done significant work lightening it; 100 lbs of smog shit being one example. Someone on the forum claimed it was a 700 lb engine and the supposed builder said he had it down to 450 lbs.
So take from that what you will.
Furniture
Wow, what a waste.
And no rotary MX-5s?
Furniture
well, still lighter than an RB series engine then
ridiculous all the same.

Yeah I remember UCP's investigation into the weight of the RB. That was a fun discussion as I recall.

yeah but they sure sound nice. it's just, if i wasn't looking for big power, i'd sure as shit look elsewhere haha.
imo they are damn good in the cars they came in but i personally would never swap one into an S12/13/14/15 etc etc.
