Jaguar XJ220 specs

Piece of Shit will always be a Piece of Shit

Fun fact: The Jaguar XJ220 is still the fastest production car in the world, but not in the way you may think. In 1992, Jaguar released the XJ220 to the public with mixed reception, mostly due to the fact that they swapped out the originally planned V12 engine and AWD setup, in favor of a twin turbocharged V6, and RWD setup. But in the end, none of this really mattered anyway, as the Jaguar XJ220 still went on to become the fastest production car in the world, until the arrival of the Bugatti EB110 SS in 1993, with the XJ220 hitting a top speed of 217 MPH, and beating the previous record holders speed by 4 MPH. Since then, there have been countless cars that have beat the XJ220 in terms of overall achievable top speed in a production car. But when we break it down by engine configuration, there are only a few cars powered by a V6 that can come close to the XJ220. One example is the MK3 Ford GT. This car had a claimed top speed of 217 MPH, but testing showed the car was able to only manage 213 MPH. As far as I'm aware, the only other V6 powered car that could come close to or match the XJ220 is the upcoming Ferrari F80, with a claimed top speed limited to 217 MPH. However, that car is not out yet, and therefore the top speed is not verified. This technically means that the Jaguar XJ220 is still the fastest V6 powered production car to date, which is pretty insane.

Post under review. Will be published by moderator shortly.

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.
