Jaguar XJ220

Produced from 1992 to 1994, the Jaguar XJ220 was once the fastest car in the world, with the "220" half of its name referring to its intended 220 mph top speed. It was originally supposed to have a racing-derived 6.2-liter V12, but Jaguar used a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 instead for various reasons. The XJ220's mid-engine twin-turbo V6 makes 542 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, which propels the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds according to Jaguar. Only a five-speed stick shift was offered with the XJ220. The vehicle held the title of World's Fastest Road Car by the Guinness Book of World Records until the McLaren F1 smashed that record in 1998 by hitting a top speed of 240 mph. Unfortunately, Jaguar didn't have the finances and resources to allow the XJ220 to reach its full potential as a supercar. Therefore, Jaguar made just 271 examples of the XJ220, less than what the British automaker desired. Despite its rough history, the Jaguar XJ220 is now a sought-after collector's item and continues to appreciate in value. It is one of the coolest and most interesting Jaguars ever built, along with the E-Type, F-Type, and certain versions of the XK.
