Jaguar XJ 220 2dr review

Jaguar XJ 220

Test date 23 June 1993  Price as tested £403,000

This is the world’s first road test of the £403,000 Jaguar XJ220. It is also destined to be the last.

Tom Walkinshaw and his team at Jaguar Sport, who build this extraordinary supercar, have decided that there is only ever going to be one set of independent performance statistics taken on the XJ220 and those are the ones you will read here.

The car that we tested, registered J999 JAG, is Walkinshaw’s own and the ‘001’ on its kickplates shows it to be the very first of the 350-strong production run. The figures were taken at Millbrook and, along with 1000 miles of non-stop evaluation in England and Wales, represent the first and last clinical analysis of the performance of this, the fastest production car in the world.
