The Jaguar XJ220 is the craziest 1990s supercar. Today I'm reviewing the Jaguar XJ220 to show you why it's so special and unique -- and why it was so crazy. I'm going to show you all around the XJ220, and then I'm going to take it out on the road and drive the Jaguar XJ220 supercar.

Just think about it, this car had to compete against the F40, the 959, the eb110 and the McLaren F1. Those were the years.
-
6 cylinder, 550bhp, early 1990's. Still impressive today.
-
This was the car that got me interested in cars in first place. Growing up in a smaller rural town, I never saw anything sportier or more exotic than a Celica. I saw this pictured in a magazine like Road & Track or Motor Trend and it blew my mind. The rear end on it is still one of my favorites of any car.
-
This is probably my favorite car of all time. It’s just so gorgeous.
-
This, CLK GTR and the EB110 don’t deserve to be forgotten
-
217mph from 540bhp? From a turbo'd V6 is ridiculously impressive for 1992.
-
Growing up in the 90s, this was my dream car! Had the scale metal collectibles and would sketch this car repeatedly. Can't believe there was a time you could pick one up used for under $100k!
-
I never cared for Jaguar cars but this XJ220 is the most beautiful car Jaguar ever made. It's actually one of the all time most beautiful sports cars in my books even 25 years later.
-
21:17 When you wake up in the middle of the night and remember an important thing you forgot to do.
-
Style score of 7? Dang. I think the exterior holds up better than more 80s and 90s supercars.
-
It was quite common in the 1960s and early '70s for people to siphon petrol from parked cars at night. By the mid-80s, practically every car had a locking fuel cap (or a locking door covering the fuel cap). Cars sold in Britain (and, I expect, the rest of Europe) today all have a locking mechanism to prevent unauthorised access to the fuel.
-
When I was a child, I built a model version of this car. It was my dream sport car when it was new. I even have a book from back in 1992 with a complete breakdown of the car. Way to go!! I would own one if I could!
-
500hp from a 6 cylinder in the 90s is pretty remarkable.
-
All I want is a shirt with 'THIS' in big bold letters and outstretched arms on either side.
-
This video makes me so happy. Old time memories playing need 4 speed on my parents pc and i loved the JXJ22. This is one of my all time favourite cars/super cars ever! It's aesthetic is just gorgeous. Thank you Doug!

An automatic pop up antenna was a status symbol back then. In ‘92 that meant you had a fancy car. I had to pull mine up manually and then it just stayed up until I pushed it back down again. Or until I went through a car wash and it got snapped off because I forgot to put it down first.
-
This is one of the first cars I’ve seen that actually looked like it’s concept car
-
Undoubtedly, the drag from those side turn signals is what prevented it from reaching 220 mph.
-
Car built in Coventry at abbey panels . Which I worked on myself when I was a apprentice sheet metal worker .
-
As a kid i loved this car so much that i got like 10 different versions in hotwheels, still with me after 25 years.
