I have never seen or know of a factory one done but there are two brothers in PA that had taken a 3.0 and did a conversion to one with a 6 speed. So that would be the closest you could get to having something like that i a guessing.

There's a also S54 conversion done in USA, it's a shame the owner is too busy to show and tell more about his unique car.

JCL will become famous soon enoughJCL will become famous soon enough
Here is the sentence fragment all this discussion is about:

Quote:
there is a limited model with code name "1150", 1000 cars for USA and 150 cars for Germany the difference was in performance with 281 hp in 3000L models
Notice the lack of capitalization in the Wiki article. Notice the reference to 3000L models. Now go to the sentence prior to this, which is discussing the Range Rover L322 model. Recall that the Range Rover used the same M62 282hp V8 engine. Seems to me to be a straightforward editing error, not referring to the E53 at all. Much ado about nothing, IMO.

Now that's what I call a 'fantasy'

It's not a fantasy at all - it's for real and well-known.
