Did you have the chance to see it on Barcelona......In my case, although its not the only jaguar that i like, its one of my favourite car ever....and, alongside the 288 GTO, the F40, the McLarenF1, my most desirable supercar........although the XJ220 looks great in any colour, i do prefer the dark green british colour one

top speed is 213 mph i think and it's true that this is one of the most beautifull Jaguar ever Too bad they didn't put the V12 in it. It would have been a success IMO.

I don´t like this Jag very much. Sure it´s insanely fast, but the back is very ugly IMO and i would take an F50 or McLaren F1 over it everytime

Well actually the topspeed is 220mph, hence the xj220. Martin brundle testdrove it a couple of years ago and put 217 on the speedo!!!

I dunno, the xj220 is a study in bad timing. The supercar era of the 80's was fizzling out right when the xj220 was released and jaguar couldnt muster the funds to make the V12 much less profit from it.
