Fours and more Velar capitalises on Jaguar Land Rover's most up to date range of engines — all coupled to arguably one of the most
refined autoboxes in the world today, ZF's 8HP eight - speeder.
It's got plenty of grunt and the
autobox is among GM's best, but at full bore the engine doesn't sound at all
refined — it sounds a lot more like an old pushrod 3800 than a modern DOHC mill; that aural feedback is essential to the sports - sedan experience, and if Cadillac is going to attract BMW and Lexus customers, they'll have to spend some serious time with induction and exhaust tuning.
