Mr JWW plus the Jaguar XJ220 the most beautiful, or one of, English Supercars EVER

Jaguar XJ220 one of the most beautiful cars ever and an absolute slayer

it's a special car, but I'm a little taken back to how some half of this site's recent conversation has all been on this page. Why is everyone so interested about it suddenly?

0 - 80 kph 3.1 s
0 - 100 kph 3.8 s
0 - 120 kph 5.2 s

This car did 100 km/h in first gear. This means theoretically, the 80-120km/h time of 2.1s is conservative. It's more like 1.6s. The Ferrari Enzo and the Porsche Carrera GT do the same 80-120 time.

3.5 V6 ???? Is this engine right? Did they borrow the engine from Toyota Camry or Nissan Maximum?

This car reminds me of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell"

I found new info on the XJ220.
Instead of 580 hp that Autocar claimed on power, customer cars seems to be rated to be close to 610 hp.
Decatting these cars putting a stright through exhaust power will pick up to 680 hp or exactly the S-spec.
Looking at the diagram of telemetry that waa published on the pages of Car magazine, times seemed to be close to (speed in mph):
0-60 5,5s
0-100 9,0s
0-130 12,5s
0-160 20s
0-180 23s
0-200 29,5s
Top speed 217 mph

Check out these in-house estimations

0-60 mph: 3.67 sec (pre-shift) or 4.10 sec (post-shift, manual only)
0-100 mph: 7.62 sec-> 60-100 = 3.52 sec

Street 1/4-mile: 11.82 sec @ 126.32 mph

Top speed: 198 mph (theoretical maximum velocity: 210 mph)

Although the XJ220 was supposed to hit 220, it didn't. Autocar suggested it would hit 223 against the wind, but that still hasn't been confirmed. It did 217 with a modification, so that doesn't count either. 213 was the claimed top speed for the production car and even that's pushing it considering the bad aerodynamics. (I had this problem with the Ferrari F50, it couldn't reach the claimed 202.)

Ah yes, the Jaguar XM220

@FastestLaps

Could you remove the picture of BMW XM please, lol

Ugliest dashboard on a supercar, reminds you of the countach boxy dashboard

Tiff tests XJ220, Espirit and their racing versions around Silverstone South Circuit. He mentions Racing version of Jaguar is about 12s faster than road version. Wonder if it is possible to extract laptimes from this video.(if there are no segments skipped or something).

The Jaguar XJ220 Development Mule Was a Ford Van

"Amazing car, 542 horsepower will only get a new car to about 190 MPH, and it takes about 700 horsepower to get a new supercar to 215 MPH, the Jaguar XJ220 has the aerodynamics of a fighter jet, and it's light, 3,234 LBS."

This is because the XJ220 was underrated and not actually making only 550 horsepower. The top-speed record car was stated to make 50 hp more, but the XJ220 actually makes 650-700.

Jaguar XJ220 (1992):

So, to get too the very bottom of all these metrics and numbers I absolutely had to get them from Source. So I did. I acquired a copy of Autocar and Motor from June 1993.

I couldn't find any quailty scans anywhere. So I was left with little or next to no choice.

Anyway front page plus acceleration scans> https://postimg.cc/gallery/LmgQCCj

She's an old lady now but when I first saw those figures I was completely blown away!

Hopefully this is a demonstration on how far I'm willing to go to get the information that's required.

Quote>"It could never keep up with the Ferrari F40 in terms of reputation, but the XJ220 did hold the production car lap record at the 'Ring for an impressive eight years between 1992 and 2000."

What the ACTUAL F? I had absolutely NO idea! I remember the lap but wasn't aware it was an actual productions lap record for EIGHT YEARS! Oo
