Right car, wrong time.
Though conceived by Jaguar engineers in their spare time, the XJ220 held so much promise that company executives elected to put it into production. The fastest of any production vehicle produced by Jaguar at the time, the XJ220’s twin-turbocharged V-6 engine produced outstanding performance, despite a large number of potential buyers who cancelled their orders because it was not equipped with a V-12 as originally prototyped. Amid engine disputes, and a declining demand for supercars during the 1990s, Jaguar ended up producing less than the already low 350 originally intended.
