The 1992 Jaguar XJ220 is a mid-engined supercar produced by Jaguar from 1992 to 1994.

It was the world's fastest production car at the time. Its name, XJ220, is a reference to the top speed that Jaguar targeted.

The XJ220 was developed from Jaguar's V12 powered all-wheel drive Group B concept that was designed to compete with the Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40.

However, Group B was dissolved, and Jaguar's V12 was replaced by a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 due to strict emission regulations and the all-wheel drive system was dropped in favour of a lighter rear-wheel drive system.

Only a total of 275 units out of the planned 350 units were produced during its lifespan.

Games

Need for Speed II

The XJ220 appears in Need for Speed II. Available from the beginning, it has a high top speed but at the expense of handling.

In the Special Edition re-release it is grouped in Class B alongside the the Ford Indigo, Italdesign Nazca C2 and Isdera Commendatore 112i.

Description

“	Initially conceived as a concept car which was to obtain an unprecedented 220 miles per hour, the sleek, limited-edition Jaguar XJ220 was crafted from a dream into one of the world's fastest production road cars. The XJ220 s beautiful aerodynamic styling draws inspiration from such legendary Jaguar cars as the C- and D-types, the rare XJ13, and the famous XK-E. While many supercars focus on performance at the expense of comfort, the XJ220 makes no such compromises. Beneath its curvaceous skin is the traditional Jaguar all-leather interior, with a high feature specification that includes power windows and air conditioning. Derived from the JV6 twin-turbo racing engine, the XJ220’s growling 542 brake horsepower V6 can make it leap from standstill to 60 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds, and take it to a top speed of over 210 miles per hour. The XJ220 remains one of the world's greatest super cars, with streamlined looks and outstanding acceleration that provide a truly inspiring driving experience.	”
