The legendary Jaguar supercar, was the holder of the title of the fastest car in the world, is celebrated at the age of 20 years, just turned like one. Happy New Year, Jaguar XJ220!

We live for a very rich supercar, despite any world crises or threats on dwindling oil reserves. Names like Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin One-77 and Bugatti Veyron auto fill magazine pages and posters decorate the rooms of the teenagers from everywhere.
But it is clear that we are witnessing the beginning. The past gives us many examples worthy of respect and one of them has celebrated their life, this year. Jaguar XJ220 from the 20′s, but still the fastest Jaguar ever produced.

Foreshadowed the concept exhibited at the British Motor Show in 1988, has undergone several changes for the supercar on its way from prototype to the production car. Thus it has a V12 cylinder which shows that his concept was halved, thus leading to a 550 hp V6 and the body was “tamed”.
The performance, however, place him on the appearance place in the hierarchy of the fastest supercars in the world: 340 km / h top speed and less than four seconds from 0 to 100 km / h. Thus, the price of £ 470,000 had seemed perfectly justficat by the first model.

The number of copies made in only two years of production was 275 units. An interesting aspect of the brief career of this brand is covered by Jaguar XJ220 as a competitive career, held by the British GT Cup Championship, but in Le Mans.
