Jaguars were always known as the "gentleman's" sports car. There "civilized" performance and classic beauty has always been a mainstay in the automotive world. However, for one brief shining moment, Jaguar created a monster!!
The idea for the XJ220 was created out of a collaboration of engineers known as "The Saturday Club". This was an informal group of gear heads that included Jaguar chief engineer Jim Randle. Out of these meetings the concept for the XJ220 was born.
Originally intended to utilize a V-12 engine, it was decided that a turbo charged V-6 (a first for Jag) would be better suited, as more hp could be obtained by using this unit than the V-12. . . . More to come!
