XJ220S - 680bhp / 1080kg = 629bhp/tonne



Nippy then!

The power... I can believe. Seems VERY light though....

Really not sure its really that light is it?

Its a HUGE car!

[M666 EVO]

That looks totally barmy

And how fast would that top out at? 240 odd??

Carbon panels though, a very light engine and nothing much left. I can believe the weight.

It's like a dirty great F40

Looks like an S, what makes you say different?

[tommy vercetti]

Looks insane, still one of my very favourite British supercars, very underrated too imo

It's had the S front end grafted on and has the same BBS wheels but everything else is standard XJ220.

Just like the one that Max Cooper had for the Gumball rallies.

Don't leave us hanging Mr B, what was it like?

(Your username means I'm now imagining Noel Coward in an XJ220, two fingers politely controlling the wheel while all hell breaks lose behind him)

[VPower]

Just like Concorde a technological marvel sculptured into a thing of beauty that will likely never be repeated.

Love it and in my top 10.

Gulzar I know you are out there - here me now: Buy this thing and bling up the interior. It NEEDS your magic touch. No-one else has balls like you.

It's a silly little thing, but those dials in the door trim never fail to make me smile.

A car that, to my eyes at least, seems to be getting prettier with age.

I'm glad you pointed out the dials.

I've never noticed them before despite looking right at them. Very cool and quirkily appropriate for a supercar.

This is how the car should have looked.

+1, nothing distasteful about the mods or colour in my view. wheel size ok but design a bit lacking, like the rear wing also, bit of a rear wing and bodykit fetish as my V12 XJS has all these bits, tuned engine and manual gearbox. Where does one stop with modificationitis

[Blown2CV]

if that goes for less than double the guide price i will be surprised

[Oli458]

Pure art. Maybe Spyker should have a go at the interior?

[mr bridger]

A quick car but just too big for UK roads, & the turning circle of a bus!

was this the car clarkson drove on either top gear or one of his other shows in the late 90's? I remember him doing a test on one and im sure it was yellow with yellow wheels?

yup, remember watching this on old top gear.
