      I am a real car lover, I’ve seen practically every Supercar / Hypercar ever made and to this day there are only 2 cars that have literally left me breathless when I first saw them, the first was a brand new white Lamborghini Countach 5000QV belonging to a local building contractor in around 1987, the other was a Silver XJ220 in a local Jaguar Dealer around 1990. They remain my favourite cars of all time, they are both stunning in such different ways!

      More like, "just make it a Chris show". Jack is just so mediocre at his job that losing him would save money and the entertainment value would remain the same. When next to Chris, his lack of confidence and genuine passion on the subject matter is clear to see, so if anything he's holding Chris back. Chris is playing along for this video because it's his job, so he has to. All Jack is doing is asking basic, straightforward questions for this short recap video, which is not something Chris ever did back on the Drive channel, and just doesn't fit his style because recap videos tend to be made as "fluff"/filler content.

    Agree with everyone on the F40 but more with Chris in having a 288 GTO body (Ferrari’s most beautiful car IMO) but have it drive like F40.... However and this might certainly be an unpopular opinion, I might actually take an F50 over the F40 given the choice.

  • @stillsearching1284

    A better comparison would be Ferrari F40 vs Jaguar XJR-15. That would be a tougher choice. Against the XJ220 though the F40 is the easy choice.

    F40 is cool but the xj220 still looks 20 years newer. How can he say the xj220 hasn't aged well, the f40 looks like it's made from Lego. If Ferrari had built the fastest car in the world with a V6 I'm sure Chris would say it was amazing, because Ferrari did it.

  • @robt8620
    @robt8620 3 года назад

    I owned for a short while a "standard" xj220 so not updated by don law and i can say it was gorgeous to look at but not a fantastic drive. I have to talk about the non existent brakes having no servo the thing just didnt want to stop at slow speeds.( Don law adds servos) The low rent interior was to be expected from Jaguar at the time ,but i have to say the engine didnt sound that bad especially with the sports exhaust fitted to mine. I remember the glass engine cover popped up while on a swiss motorway,and i remember doing nearly 190mph on the french autoroute and it felt sure footed.I later test drove a F40 in Geneve for a short while and though the dealer Carugati let me take it out on such a low tank it must have been sucking in vapour and even though it had a sticky throttle pedal it was a memorable drive and im regretting not buying one..
