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?

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?

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)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ERFzdIin1zS36ZjmkjahNwjwJAVxwoPCgNV2zJzn2Jo/edit?usp=sharing

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.)

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).

"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.

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

The Rare MG Metro 6R4 – Britain's Hairy-Chested Group B Challenger

Quote>"The engine that was developed for the MG Metro 6R4 is fascinating, it essentially started out as the Buick 215 cu. in. V8 first released in 1961 before later becoming the Rover V8 which was then vastly modified into a DOHC V6 for the 6R4, this engine would then (in further modified form) end up powering the Jaguar XJ220 supercar released in 1992."

The engine has it's GENESIS in another engine from the United States of America! The World famous Rover V8 prior.

The 6R4 unit was naturally aspirated. Then later twin turbocharged. I bet you didn't know that! Ha!

Quote>"Unfortunately, by the time the car went into production a number of engineering revisions had been made. The V12 engine was gone, in its place coming a twin-turbo V6 borrowed from the MG Metro 6R4 rally car."

So engine first, Jaguar were downsizing TWENTY SEVEN years ago and more! So I chuckle when I read about it now as if it's something new.

Now most people will know the V12 (unfortunately) was dropped. If I recall it was emmissions related back then and it due to making quoted power reliably.

So the V6 was in. Not many people know that the engine came from the MG Metro 6R4 rally car!

LOL! But it gets a little more complicated...
