In this episode of Vintage Car Chronicles, we explore the dramatic story of the Jaguar XJ220—a supercar born out of passion, but plagued by challenges. Unveiled as a concept in 1988, it promised a V12 engine and all-wheel drive, but due to emissions regulations and production constraints, the final version was equipped with a turbocharged V6. Despite these changes, the XJ220 set the record for the fastest production car in 1992, reaching an astounding top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h). Join us as we dive into the development of this iconic machine, its triumphs and setbacks, and how it faced off against rivals like the Ferrari F40 and the Porsche 959. Discover why the XJ220 is still remembered as a misunderstood masterpiece.
