When I was a kid this was THE car on Need For Speed (can't really remember which game version it was). Never seen one in the traffic. What a legendary car.
My brother Grahame used to work for a music company called Electro Tec in Canago Park, LA. One of the clients was Rod Stewart, who told my brother at the time that he bought a 220 and thought it a fabulous car. Worth every penny!
Tank you for this video, I liked it very much. The XJ220 is on the podium of my favourite cars. I falled in love for her the first time I saw in 1993. First of all for it's absolutely perfect design, it's a monument to the car idea, it seems like a metal mass of muscles moving on, but at the same time it conveys grace and lightness. For second because I love it's engine. A 3498 Cm² displacememt engine with two huge "snails" that push like two angry bulls! Only americans need huge displacememts to obtain some decent performance 😉. The world wasn't ready for her.......
The reason they didnt put the V12 is because the weight of the engine and the emission regulations wouldn't have alllowed it to go 220 mph. The V12 wouldn't have made more than 490 hp with the current early 90s emission regulations and imposed a considerable weight penalty. However they could do it with the V6, and on top of that allowed for the 680 hp later TWR upgrade that made it even faster. People doesn't understand how capable this car really is, has 700hp plus potential with marginal upgrades, a chassis that is basically an XJR9 Lemans racer adapted for the road(This is why the size of the car is so enormous), real downforce and a crazy weight power ratio. Its perfectly comparable to an F40 or an F1 in any measure you want. The clients of the time were just stupid and were obsessed with having a V12 even if it meant it was slower.
Highly interesting to note your comments. I think the 220 is a fabulous car, both design wise and technically. You obviously know a great deal about the car. If I win the lottery I'll take you out in my one!
