Jaguar XJ220

Well…. Finally I found this car. I love design and the speed. Spooring on my adrenaline… oh… may I drive it for a moment… its just dream…. Let me show you the specification….

Twin Turbo V6 engine can produce 542 hp. This car can run 349 miles per hour, while acceleration 0-100 km / h in just 3.8 seconds. Unfortunately during the development of the car the designers were pressured to meet time and cost targets. The end result being that many of the featured promised on the 1988 concept car were cut. The V12 engine and the four-wheel-drive system being the most obvious. In their place was a V6, albeit a highly tuned 542 hp unit derived from the MG Metro 6R4, and a RWD transmission. This powertrain gave the Jaguar XJ220 a top speed just in excess of 210 mph. The wheelbase of the XJ220 was also cut by 8 inches to help reduce weight and cut costs.

As a further blow to the XJ200 project and Jaguar an unforeseen world recession meant that many potential customers, and even some who had paid deposits were reluctant to fork over the vast sums of money required to have one on the driveway. After just two years of production and 271 completed cars the Jaguar XJ220 was canceled.
