Jaguar Xj220 And this car 20 years from now?
Jaguar XJ220 («Jaguar XJ220») 1992-1993
In 1988, Jaguar unveiled a prototype supercar «XJ220», which engineers from Coventry created in his spare time! This is a wonderful 2-seater coupe was not only a famous engine V12, installed within the wheelbase, but also all-wheel drive. Maximum speed -predpolozhitelno 354 km / h.
The most brilliant Jaguar early 90-ies. with a V6 engine displacement of 3, 5
But the car did not move as long as it was in the hands of specialists JaguarSport, which created the company's Jaguar and TRW. Objective - bring models «XJ220» to the production model. As a result, the car has been completely redesigned: the base is shortened, leaving only the rear-wheel drive. It was decided to use a variant of motor racing TRW V6 with two turbochargers.
A new sample was shown in late 1989, with 3, 5-liter engine producing 500 hp, which could provide the speed of 354 km / h. With a certain degree of doubt - it was the fastest car in the world. Once the company JaguarSport said it would be built just 350 cars, it is for a few days received more than 1,200 orders. In 1990-91. in Bloxham near Banbury built a new factory and created seven prototypes of future machines. The first deliveries scheduled to begin in spring 1992 and be completed by 1994 production
The estimated maximum speed of 354 km / h makes this car the fastest in the world - theoretically
The final version of «XJ220» with the V6 engine is significantly shorter and lighter than the original prototype «XJ220 4x4», maintaining the same look. Its luxuriously equipped, air-conditioned room with a few contrasted with the light and compact body. The designers sought to create a car that is suitable for all weather and road conditions.
The most striking feature of the project «XJ220» was that the machines are not intended for sale in the United States. Option «XJ220C» became a successful race car and won the class «GT» in the race at Le Mans (1993). A few weeks later he was disqualified for technical reasons, and the result is annulled.

In all there were no more than 275 of these cars, and if you become a master of his own, and if you decide to remove the wheel, you need to be very careful, because the head of a central nut weighs about 10 kg!
