The Jaguar XJ 220 is a spectacular two-sports car produced by British luxury car manufacturer Jaguar from 1992 until 1994, in collaboration with the specialist automotive and race engineering company Tom Walkinshaw Racing. Only 275 vehicles were built between 1992 and 1994 and they were launched at that time with a market price of DM 1 Mio. (Deutsch Mark).
The XJ 220 recorded a top speed of 212. 3 mph (341. 7 km/ h) during testing by Jaguar at the Nardo test track in Italy. This made it the fastest production car from 1992 to 1993.
Really spectacular and a thrill to drive! A supercar for track and road.
This specific LHD example here has been delivered to Germany in 1993 and was first registered on 02. 06. 1998. She is a beauty all-through and presents herself in very good state and condition.
It is a customized breathtaking example which cannot compare to any usual standard models which are offered on the market. The car lives from her special features and is a real head turner!
The car is very appealing by its special colour combination. It is a very rare and very tasteful stylish colour scheme. The car colour scheme is finished in Le Mans Blue (dark blue metallic) exterior with a lovely almost new leather Alcantara leather interior in dark brown. As most XJ 220 they are all mainly finished in beige or black leather interior, this classy colour really makes a difference to all the others.
The car impresses by some very interesting and great features and upgrades:
- the front headlamps are under an aerodynamic fixed glass cover
- the rear section of the car is carried out with round lights with matching exhaust grille
- the retractable rear wing is executed in carbon
- under the front wind screen there are air vents in the bonnet
- dashboard panel and the gearshift knob are finished in aluminium
- Genesis Stereo 100 radio has been installed
