1992 Jaguar XJ220

7:46 'ring time is impressive for an older transmission/brake system/tyres

Id be interested to know what the Maclaren F1 did in period?

that time was done in 1992 in a pre production car in near standard spec on Bridgestone SO1s

Yes, that is true.

FastestLaps needs a proper way for people to submit changes that need to be made. If you just type them into the comunity comments they often go unnoticed by FastestLaps. Just look at the Ultima GRT720 as an example of this. :(

Please someone finally fix the error in specs.
The mass is 1370kg not 1555.
And power to weight ratio as appropriate.
Thanks.

Why has Jaguar not come up with a Twin Turbo again, very puzzling.

Pagani Zonda C12-S
Ascari KZ1
Saleen Mustang SR
Audi R8 V10

Those would be some Modern Rivals for this car.

if it will come to compare the performance of this car to a modern one, what car would be ?... it's hard to find info about this car.

The weight of the car is all wrong, the XJ220 weighed only 1,375KG (not 1,555kg) as per the Autocar official road test in the early 90's so the power to weight should be 394BHP per ton. I agree with the other comments, it was a longer circuit and with modern tyre tech you could lose about 16 seconds off the laptime for nowdays.

Plus the Nordy lap time was definatley in the early 90's and not 2000.

Lovely car (if a bit wide)

anonymous don´t think so the guys were wearing typical late 80´s early 90´s fashion... and why should Jaguar do a promotion video for a car out of production in 2000...thats completely pointless

and im actually surprised it only sold for GB150,000!! thought it would be around GB275,000..

i think the XJ220's time of 7:46 was dn in 2000 somthing, while the R33 was set in the 90's..i think? but considering the Jag was br in the 90's the time shold go to it.

and a other question is what could a XJ220 do on 2009 tire technology? Pretty sure it could shave some 10seconds form that laptime if not more

interesting question is now how Nissan come to the idea to claim Ring production car lap records with their R33 and R34 GT-R´s after this existing laptime which is better than any R33 or R34 ever laptime

Yes.If you want,check this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNDzQPzd1aQ It is the official promotional video,maded during car test on Nordschleife.John Nielsen set this time...by the way,he was the main test driver for XJ220 program.

Assume you mean the Nurburgring time?

This lap time was done on standard road tires: Bridgestone Expedia 5.01 255/45ZR17-front,345/35ZR18-rear.
Top speed is wrong!It can do 212.3 mph(341.7 km/h) and it can hit 223 mph (359km/h) only whit removed catalytic converters!

yes, and the 0-124 is wrng on this car too, since it passes the 1/4 mile in 11.7 at 125mph.....

my mistake, yes it has.

This car has never been on top gear

I have also read a test with 0-200 in 10.6 seconds.
But its not on the web, so I have no proof.
But we have all seen it beat the Pagani Zonda at Top Gear, and it does 0-200 in 11,2.....
