It's well known the XJ220 was sabotaged from not only the global crisis, but due to internal issues in Jaguar itself. Maybe the CX75 suffered the same fate?
@@rydersherm2490 Not really, in a crisis it is not a good look to buy an outrageously expensive car. This is not new, in the great depression, people were hiding their luxury cars, probably trying to avoid being lynched. I can remember something about a V16 Caddy that was hidden, then it sort of got forgotten for a while before being rediscovered. Sounds strange? You should look up the story about the prototype WWII de Havilland Mosquito aircraft that was hidden in a barn to stop it from being junked, it worked, the thing is now restored, but buy a property and find a semi-forgotten, unique aircraft in one of the outbuildings. Okay, some of the details might be wrong, it has been along time since I originally read about it but the main gist of the story is correct. The internal issue for the XJ220 was actually Walkinshaw (who built the Xj220 for Jaguar) releasing the XJR15 , a road going (sort of) version of the Silk Cut, XJR-9, a V12 Le Mans (outright) winning racing car. He also convinced Jaguar (probably rightly) that the V12 Xj220 prototype was too big, too heavy, too complicated, etc and the simplified V6 would be better. Silly, really, people were not buying it for performance but for status and the glorious V12 soundtrack. Funnily enough, the V6 sounds pretty good and very aggressive when pushed.
The Bugatti EB110SS that came out around the same time as the XJ220 with similar spec was probably worth a mention… It had a 3.5l quad turbo 60 valve V12 that put out 603hp and managed 0-62 mph in just over 3.4 seconds. The cylinder count may not be small, but the capacity was.
I think Koenigsegg Gemera is an honorable mention too. A 1.9 liter hybrid by Williams making 600hp just from the gas motor! The whole thing’s got 1677hp. Insane.
The turbo s is proably the most efficient, sports/supercar you can buy, even being able to gap a plaid from 0 to 80 till it catches but it was only 600 hp. Crazy to think about it like that.
@@robloxcreator437 Porsche groupies love to make up sh!t... LOL!! Porsche won't even tell the public what the car really pushes on over boost. Because they want it to look like an over achiever. Only 600hp my ass, you believe that I have a 3 dollar bill I'd like to sell you for 5 bucks.... dummies.

Also you have a very pretty face accorsing to that decade old photo.
In Formula 1 in the 1980s (the turbo generation) there were 1.6ltr 4 cylinder turbo charged engines putting out 900-1000bhp! The ultimate was a BMW version that could output possibly up to 1500bhp in qualifying trim! In the early 80s!
The Bugatti EB110SS that came out around the same time as the XJ220 with similar spec was probably worth a mention… It had a 3.5l quad turbo 60 valve V12 that put out 603hp and managed 0-62 mph in just over 3.4 seconds.
The F40 was the first where the company advertised the 200mph barrier was crossed, but the first car that was released that could truly do it was the Porsche 959
The 959 topped out at about 196/197 mph, it's the 959s that broke the 200 mph mark. It doesn't matter though, because the 959 was a homologation special, not an actual production car like the F40 was. So the F40 still gets to claim the first production car to break 200 mph. Now some may want to argue that the Dodge Challenger actually did it first, but even that isn't true. Because the one that did reach 200 was a race modified vehicle. A Daytona that got sold out of a showroom wasn't the same as the one that hit 200 mph, and again the version that hit 200 was once again a homologation special which was made so Dodge could race that design.

Dude wasn’t lying about the next vid being about small engines( go to the most overlooked cars vid and check for the replies under my comment to understand it)
alright I’m going to be that guy here for a second. The RX-7’s displacement isn’t really 1.3L. Rotaries can’t really calculate displacement the same way that normal piston engines can. 1.3L is closer to the displacement that one singular rotor produces, therefore the ACTUAL displacement of the RX-7 is much closer to 2.6L than it is 1.3L. Which puts it a lot closer in displacement to an RB26 or 2JZ than the new GR Yaris engine.
Am I the only one who prefer smaller engines over the big ones? I mean, sure 600HP from a 6.2L V8 is a good number, but 600HP from a 2.0L 4 cylinder engine? That's impressive, and not to mention that being smaller means that this engine need to rev higher than bigger engines, so the sounds is music to my ears...🤤
@@TopCarsTV Depends how many power you put in that engine, where is its redline, how strong are the engine internals and how reliable are its electronics. So 600HP from a 2.0L 4 cylinder is possible for a road car, but anything beyond that wouldn't work reliably.
@@TopCarsTV Yes, but that's a F1 engine that was converted for road use, and originally it had 850HP from the ICE alone plus 160HP from the MGU-K, resulting in more than 1.000HP, but because of they all the known reasons, they adapted the engine, reduced it's redline from 15k rpm to 11k rpm, changed the engine internals, and added new stuff to make it daily-drivable (new coolimg system, starter motor, etc.). Now a clean-sheet design 2.0L I4 road car engine could reach those 600HP if it was designed for that purpose from scratch. So it depends from case to case...
Turbo is a displacement supplementer, the mazda is 1.3 but the turbo ensures it ingests more than that in volume of air... An engine is a pump a turbo is a pump on pump makes air compressed and dense then stuff the other pump so 1.3 is the static displacement but not the final
9:08 I wondered when you're going to talk about the Mercedes AMG 1,especially after you talked about his brother, the Mercedes c63se performance, and aspecially when the AMG 1 makes more power, from an even smaller(although a not a 4 cylinder) formula 1 grade v6 turbo hybrid engine, that producing around a 1000+ horsepower, that, from my calculation, means that it's almost as, I'd not more efficient then the c63se performance.
I think it depends...personally on a circuit I think a bigger displacement is better than forced induction because there's no surprises: You push the gas, you have gas. In turbocharger you have lag, in supercharger you have parasitic loss that makes the engine feels heavy and increase the time to rev just like a heavy flywheel. A big naturally aspirated engine can have more low end torque for corner exit and keep the revs "light".
you have to understand the f40 is fully striped off of comfort.. unlike the modern day super cars with touch screens and other comfortable stuffs the f40 is brutally uncomfortable to drive in a long duration. its fast because of its weight reduction and that 2 huge snails blowing air into that monster
The most serious contender isn't even there ! Since you spoke about abandoned or failed project, there's another one, called Peugeot Oxia, which was ready for production, but never did. The Peugeot Oxia, was the earliest ultimate speed record breaker, way before most of the famous cars. It only use a 2.85 L Twin Turbos V6, with a 680 HP. This engine was a direct detuned version of the ultimate speed record holder in a competition, which have been set on 24H of LeMans. This Oxia was literally a spaceship back at the time it went out. 4WD 4WS, active Aero, Solar cells to power the Aircon to keep maximum engine power, electronic magnetic injectors, the key was an electronic card, and much more things we're only getting nowadays 40 years later.
Main reason the XJ220 never met its potential, was Jag was having its own crisis at the time and couldn't find the value in a hypercar. So the engineers built it in their own time as a passion project. They couldn't get funding for the V12, it would have been too long to use an existing one, and the AWD would have made the thing too heavy. They didn't want to shorten the dimensions and the lines, hence the V6 is swimming in space. There's room for all that stuff tho, if you wanted..
The CX75 is a tragedy. The 2008 can't explain it all. Ferrari, Porsche and McLaren sold out their hyper cars, the CX75 was far along. It was almost ready and had hype around it.
In the seventies I owned 3 minor models BMWs with 2 liter engines, and past 100 horsepower, which was much and impressive by that time (Also the fuel consumption)! Today I drive a 1500cc Peugeot diesel, with 102 horsepower, and faster than the first, and using much, much less fuel doing it!
Turbo S is one of the most perfect cars one can buy. Want a Lamborghini? Ditch it, get Turbo S it'll be better and more comfortable to drive on typical roads and due to its rear engine placement it takes off like a rocket off the line, in carwow the Turbo S could do 2.5 seconds 0-60 miles, like literally. Plus it can take down every Lambo in a drag race, so that's a good value for money supercar killer.
Yeah. For the record people have been hitting 200 since the 60s. The 200 mph mark, isn't really much of a landmark anymore. It's called the Superbird.been there, did that. The small displacement part is impressive to a degree, but none the less.
I still want to know why you thought the gemera wasn't worth the list yes it's expensive as fk and mostly electric but since when was 600hp from a 2L not an achievement. still a great list and vid
This video isn't about small engines with lots of power, but fast cars with small engines. Gemera is fast mostly because of electric motors, and that's why it's not going in the list. Having a small but punchy engine doesn't change that. It's like that part in Top Gear when they mocked American Green Car of the year - Cadillac Escalade Hybrid with 5.7L V8 and a small battery.
@@TopCarsTV yeah I get that But you've got to be impressed by the engineering, I can't stop imagining something like an a110 with this engine Or maybe in an "entry level" smol ferrari back with the dino badge Hell, even in something like a gr yaris. Yes gemera might not be a fast car with small engine but the possibilities are limitless. But then again I'm confused why such big manufacturers won't make something like this, I don't think they can't.
Phisics didn't miraculously change overnight, more displacement = more reliability = more power. Like saying says: There is no replacement for displacement.
What I learned from this video - Jaguar makes the fastest production cars that can't sell. Brilliant designs, worst timing. How to make cars fast: other manufacturers- put a bigger engine in. Mazda: make it lighter. Ferrari F40: not enough, make it even lighter. Strip out door panels and handles, radio, air con, everything. Sheer dedication to speed from the OG hypercar.
So everytime Jaguar tried to make a supercar, a global crisis started... 🤔🤔🤔
Very sus indeed

Main reason the XJ220 never met its potential, was Jag was having its own crisis at the time and couldn't find the value in a hypercar. So the engineers built it in their own time as a passion project. They couldn't get funding for the V12, it would have been too long to use an existing one, and the AWD would have made the thing too heavy. They didn't want to shorten the dimensions and the lines, hence the V6 is swimming in space. There's room for all that stuff tho, if you wanted..
I visited Eagle E-Types in 2002--you probably know who they are. They had an XJ220 for I think $120k. I should have bought an E-Type AND an XJ220.
For the impressive content you are giving..
You are really underrated..
The CX75 is a tragedy. The 2008 can't explain it all. Ferrari, Porsche and McLaren sold out their hyper cars, the CX75 was far along. It was almost ready and had hype around it.
In the seventies I owned 3 minor models BMWs with 2 liter engines, and past 100 horsepower, which was much and impressive by that time (Also the fuel consumption)! Today I drive a 1500cc Peugeot diesel, with 102 horsepower, and faster than the first, and using much, much less fuel doing it!
SLAP on a turbo.... but instead chris gets rock slapped.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like ur vid keep on posting these
I have never enjoyed a car video like this 😂
Love the support for the Jaggg CX-75
Where is there 1.6 turbo Honda engines! ? Lol great video and jokes once again. Love it! 🎉
Really cool video, very well done!
Where is the gemera?
Turbo S is one of the most perfect cars one can buy. Want a Lamborghini? Ditch it, get Turbo S it'll be better and more comfortable to drive on typical roads and due to its rear engine placement it takes off like a rocket off the line, in carwow the Turbo S could do 2.5 seconds 0-60 miles, like literally. Plus it can take down every Lambo in a drag race, so that's a good value for money supercar killer.
RUclips algorithm failed me. Coz whyyy I'm I only discovering this channel today!??? ... Well now I'm hooked!
Welcome aboard 😉
How about the little V6 Ecoboost in the Ford GT? 3.5L with 660hp, but ONLY 216 mph…
My buddy slapped a cold air intake, & some dangerously fast stickers on his resto-modded Yugo GT last week.
He now calls it the "Gappasaurus Wrecks!"

Me : wish I was treated like those cars
i love your style man ! 👌👍
best entertainment , interesting as hell , funny … awesome 👍
Thanks man 👍
@@TopCarsTV welcome !
oh, and i forgot to mention the superb video quality !
thanks for all the effort you put into your videos 👌
Yeah. For the record people have been hitting 200 since the 60s. The 200 mph mark, isn't really much of a landmark anymore. It's called the Superbird.been there, did that. The small displacement part is impressive to a degree, but none the less.
koeinsegg gemera has left the chat
1994 Jaguar XJ220 S TWR car
647.62 bhp per tonne
Only nine TWR XJ220s were completed
You forgot the Mercedes-AMG One 1.6l V6 turbo beast with four electric engines and a combined power of 1063PS. ;-)
Anyone noticed when the video ends and he said “What A Car” the moment he said “Car” a car video showed up in that exact second 😂
Yeh they'll break the sound barrier .... The undertakers will love it !
Nice list. I'm surprised you did not include Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, tho
One of the best channels out here on RUclips 👌
I8 and AMG one
Germans are hell of making most power to litre output
F40's getting kinda old. Jason Fiske looked like a teenager back then. Awesome video editing by the way!
I still want to know why you thought the gemera wasn't worth the list
yes it's expensive as fk and mostly electric but since when was 600hp from a 2L not an achievement.
still a great list and vid
This video isn't about small engines with lots of power, but fast cars with small engines.
Gemera is fast mostly because of electric motors, and that's why it's not going in the list. Having a small but punchy engine doesn't change that.
It's like that part in Top Gear when they mocked American Green Car of the year - Cadillac Escalade Hybrid with 5.7L V8 and a small battery.
@@TopCarsTV yeah I get that
But you've got to be impressed by the engineering,
I can't stop imagining something like an a110 with this engine
Or maybe in an "entry level" smol ferrari back with the dino badge
Hell, even in something like a gr yaris.
Yes gemera might not be a fast car with small engine but the possibilities are limitless.
But then again I'm confused why such big manufacturers won't make something like this, I don't think they can't.
I think the video should be based on "only" Gasoline running cars, hybrid electric motors paired with an engine doesn't hold a candle to me
What about the 3cyl gemerà?
Phisics didn't miraculously change overnight, more displacement = more reliability = more power. Like saying says: There is no replacement for displacement.
Jaguar and economic crisis is a weird situation. Watch them have something in store for this year or next year
Considering that they don't have any hypercar planned for production, I think we're good.
Finally, its like christmas morning when you make new videos
I came for the puns and you never disappointed 😂👌🏼
What I learned from this video - Jaguar makes the fastest production cars that can't sell. Brilliant designs, worst timing.
How to make cars fast: other manufacturers- put a bigger engine in. Mazda: make it lighter. Ferrari F40: not enough, make it even lighter. Strip out door panels and handles, radio, air con, everything. Sheer dedication to speed from the OG hypercar.
