The V8s are Yamaha: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_B8444S_engine

Wikipedia also says the 3.2 was built at a Ford plant in the UK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_SI6_engine

The 3.2 and the 3.0 Turbo are made in Bridgend Wales in a Ford owned/operated engine plant. The 3.2 version is also was used in Range Rover LR2 models.
