Car Information and Specifications

The XJ220 was dreamed up by Jaguar's chief designer, Jim Randle. Unlike other supercars, the XJ220 was actually a spare time project - Jaguar engineers (secretly at first) started designing and building the car on the weekends. The XJ220 Concept first appeared at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Show and featured a V12, unlike the twin-turbo V6 that was in the production car. Body panels for the XJ220 were made from bonded-aluminum honeycomb. Only 350 XJ220s were ever built. This baby will set you back almost three quarters of a million dollars - if you can still find one for sale that is.

The concept version of the XJ220 was first seen at the 1988 Birmingham Auto Show. During its production, the XJ220 was the world's fastest street legal production car.
