TWR upgraded only 6 cars in total and they where given the XJ220S badges. It was the street legal version of the XJ220C race car.
I thought this was a TWR car, I don't remember S's, but I do know there's Jaguar XJ220 TWRs.
I think the XJ220S had a full composite body. I do know that it had 680hp though. Awesome car.
Is this the S version? I forgot how to tell. But either way, the XJ220 S is extremely close to my favorite car ever.
Description: It lapped the Nurburgring in 7:45.37, which in 1992 was ridiculously fast. In production for just two years, a total of only 275 units were built. Needless to say, it's become a legend in the exo...

I'm 24 and so grew up looking at pics of XJ220s. They arent even that good looking but there has always been something about them......
A 20 year old XJ220S is faster than a new ZR1, 0-60 the XJ takes it, 3.3 seconds and top speed is 228. The ZR1 only beats the standard XJ buy .2 of a second to 60. The Z06, just loses. So this once supercar, still is in my book.
Take a $100k car from 2032 and it'll likely cream (or at least match) the Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari FXX, and other top super cars from today in performance. It's called technological advancement!
Actually Jason that vette you're talking about uses the Ultimate Performance package, which bumps the price up to about $100,000. A regular Z06 would do it in 7:46.
I'd go for the supra, for I'd be scared to even scratch the jag, but the supra, just grab a new part and paint it. Easy fix. W/o money issue, jag
You guys he is just saying how far we have come in technology and the fact that this top of the line supercar of that time is now sportscar speed today. Calm down.
A few months ago I had an argument with like 5 people who claimed they would rather have an old supra then a brand new jag....people just dont get nice cars
Y do people keep comparing cars from different decades? At that time this car was the fastest on the road. Even the zr1(1991) couldn't hang with it. If you want ti compare compare a 1991 zr1 to it.
He's just talking lap times, I'm sure Jason jdhfbsocdkwidosbebqlxnaforvsoxhanshxosod knows that's the jag is better
Jason, there are So many comments just like yours On this app. If anyone know what i am saying .
At the time, you could get a corvette with like 250hp. This thing was and still is a monster
Today for 70k you can get a Z06 and lap the 'ring 26 second faster.
Description: The original XJ220 concept was first revealed in 1988 at the British Motor Show. The production version had its debut just a few years later to a stunned public. Even today, the XJ220 still looks down...

A big reason they picked the v6 was that they where having problems with emissions on the v12. The v12 was causing design problems also, because of its size.
concept used a v12 but the tt 6 was lighter and allowed for more desireable weight distribution
The original rims where 18". They where like large discs with one huge center lug nut. They looked good though. They fit 255 tires in front and 345's in the rear.
None of the cars pictured even have the stock rims on them. So....
Great car but what's up with the rims? Is there a reason they are ugly? Like some engineering thing?
O look an engine that's not covered up with plastic!!! Don't see that anymore
Bit of trivia: was originally designed for a V12 but was deemed unsuitable so it ended up with the engine (the V6) from the Metro 6R4 rally car.
I absolutely love this car. It's so special to me.
An awesome piece of auto motive history! 20 years old and it can still run with exotic cars of today. It will run 0-60 in 3.6, the S version with 680hp runs around 3 seconds. Someone said this is equal to a sports car now, there's no sports about it!
I wouldn't put the gtr in the same class. Performance wise it's super fast but it still doesn't belong in the same class.
Weight has little effect on to speed. Aerodynamics, friction and power are the ingredients.
Even now it's just awesome
Yep and at the time the best of the bunch
The only modern super car with a v6.
