• XJ220 Build
Arguably one of the sexiest cars ever built.
It's up there!
Nah no argument
@@omd_sd topped only by the TWR
Agree
@@2JZDestroyerna, the 220S looked like a shopping cart with the rear spoiler.
From an English lad THANK YOU so much for keeping a motoring icon going. I often hear Americans saying the Xj220 and mclaren f1 are ugly and nothing special but I politely disagreed. The colour is flawless and you sharing your journey it warms my heart. I still think jaguar should replace all their engines today with LS im British but will say the LS is the greatest engine ever built IMO. Again sir THANK YOU. Motoring history should always be saved 🇬🇧❤🇺🇲
This car is more of a flex than nearly any modern Lamborghini or Ferrari.
100% facts
Looks way better than it sounds tho 💯😅
@@winstonpratt604 Dumping the V12 was 😱😱😱...
Nearly? It does. Like most heavily modified cars do...
@@tumslucks9781 yeah looks cool but definitely form over function on this build
People don't even drive these never mind mod them. Looks soo stunning in that colour
I think there is only like 3 in existence.
That colour was pretty common on other Jags in the 90s (where I’m from anyway).
Eh, subjective. I was thinking more along the lines of 'great car, but shame about the paint job...'
@@Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant beautiful colour 😍
Imagine if this ultra rare beauty blew up on the dyno or a tyre blew and wrecked the thing ?!!
I used to work on one of these when I worked for Mercedes UK, one of our customers had one.
It Is without a doubt the most intimidating cars I’ve ever driven (and I’ve driven a lot of fast cars with way more power that a xj220)cold damp tarmac, big fat wide cold tyres, no traction aids no power steering no servo assist brakes, can’t see much outside because you sit so low down, my all time favourite car and a real honour to work on one.
Such a beautiful car. It never aged. But I wished they built the C-X75. Such an amazing engineering
I wished they built the V12 version that was originally going to be built and ALOT of preorder people put deposits down only to learn it was going to be a V6 twin turbo. Most of those preorder people backed out.
@@jgonzalesm6 the V12 version of the XJ220, or the V12 version of the CX-75? because that quad yasa motor and micro turbine hybrid setup with the then-new V12 they never ended up building iirc, would've been like nothing before it and nothing we have today.
If anyone has a broken xj220 they'd like to sell or donate, I've got a running jag v12 in an xjs that needs "building" 😂
@@3xeplodng_3agle_studios - The V12 version that was supposed to be built and told to investors that pre-paid only to get an XJ220 with a V6 TT. Those investors backed out because they were "sold" a lie by Jaguar.
@@jgonzalesm6 no no. I understood those parts. I was only asking which car you meant. Which you did answer and for which I thank you.
I knew of that debacle with the XJ220 I just wasn't sure if similar happened with the cx-75, as I know less about those and to my knowledge there's less *_TO_* know about them.
@@3xeplodng_3agle_studios - 👍
There used to be a guy in Cheltenham in the uk who would use one every day and call into the pub for a drink incredible presence on the street a real treat to see . Bless he’s no longer with us , great man
Cars from ymthe 90s and before are way more exiting to see than modern lambos etc are common as dog shit today. Seeing anbxj220 mclaren f1 or f40 etc you get away better buzz from seeing one.
As a British Jaguar lover, this makes me very proud! Nice work guys! 😎
best looking supercar of all time!
This car does not age and still looks awesome today , Iconic car ,What a awesome piece!!!!!
Easily one of the best looking cars ever. Timeless style.
I've always thought these 220's would lend themselves well to a few mods, given technology gains in ECU's, Turbochargers, since these things were made. Good on you guys for going ahead and doing it.
We agree! Super happy with how it came out!
I believe I had only seen XJ220s in silver and not thinking much of them aesthetically, but what a beautiful car it is in this particular shade of red.
They really don't look very good in silver.
It looks tremendous in red! What a beauty.
The most beautiful supercar ever made.
jaguar did make beautiful cars back in the day , its better than the current supercar looks of today by a mile.
One of my top 3 as a child. The XJ, the F50 and the F1.
I think they were all the fastest cars in the world during each individual release date.
The Ferrari F40 has left the chat.
Took the words out of my mouth
Nfs2 vibes
@@komoruI would rather have the F40.
Awesome car. I had a model of it when I was a kid. Those Rover 200 rear lights though 😂
Those are parts bin rover tail lights??
Nothing wrong with parts bins, the mirrors are Citroen , and the engine is an Austin Rover 6R4 Metro , the Lamborghini diablo had Austin Mini indicator stalks !
Who needs a supermodel when you can look at that beauty every day 👌👌👌👌
Also doesn't cost you as much money, as well.
Never thought I’d see a video of one on a dyno in 2024, let alone being tuned and modified. I was lucky enough to see one in person in Las Vegas. Very special car. Jay Leno has a great video on one as well.
This and the tvr speed12 are out off this world 🌎
One of the sexiest and best looking cars ever built. This is one that many people never knew existed and only those in the know remember. Just amazing
Nothing beats jaguar xj220. The beauty never gets old
Wow, this is crazy.
Awesome driving footage...thanks for sharing!
Love the analogue gauges, simple temp controls and the classic Alpine stereo
Started the video, immediately heard "Jag Wire" and had to pause and reflect on what just happened. This was a childhood dream car.
It has been quite surprising how many people are hurt by my pronunciation haha. As a West Coast American that's how I learned to say that word. I should have just said "Jaaaaag" like Clarkson. Hopefully you enjoyed the video otherwise!
I had a metal Model that was close to 18.5 inches long, the exact same color as this car shown. The Jaguar XJ220 is my treasured dream. Much respect, & Thank You for sharing. To actually see one driven stateside and that it’s very rare car is astounding
that thing looks amazing even by todays standards, i would love to see one resto modded with an updated interior and laser lights
What Gran Turismo dreams are made of, sweet build from fellow FC builders!
I drove one in GT7 recently, I think the real thing is better hahaha
One of the best looking cars ever produced along a handful of others from the era.
People seem to forget these are far rarer than F40s
And faster!
@@omd_sd not around the twisty bits they aren't. In a straight line yes. F40's drive like go carts, Jag 220's drive like earlier Lambos and require monumental effort to drive quickly on the bendy bits.
And would still rather have an F40 😂. Dont even get me started on the Mclaren F1 😂
@@refillz5281 Dont even get me started on how useless and irelevant your opinion is.Brand snob😂😅
@@Lazerus2008 held the record around the ring in Germany for a long time check it out
I must say that is one beautiful car... the shape and colour is amazing just topped off by the turbo whistle and blow off valve... ❤
Very beautiful
So beautiful in that colour and nice to see an interior that is NOT black 😍
That car looks like how in the Classic movie "Wraith" supposed to of look like! I like the rims and sound of the Engine and turbo exhaust sounds! 👍
BADKITY. What great plate and great car. Greetings from England.
I was thinking the same
The trashy name goes along with the fukboi exhaust, have some taste!
Definitely one of the most gorgeous vehicles ever made
Insane seeing a Jaguar actually run.
well it's not more reliable than any other unfortunately :/ just way more expensive^^ but really good looking :)
too bad they never made it with the V12 they were suppose to^^
Insane seeing this idiotic comments from people who are driving 500$ civic from 2004
@@Ze_Hans well nobody said the car isn't good looking, they are notorious to be more at the shop than on the road , like most jags :)
Insane seeing an XJ220 in the wild** fixed it
@@Ze_Hans Dollar sign goes before the number.
An XJ220
One of the best cars almost nobody talks about, sure it has a v6 when it’s supposed to have a v12. But it’s a great looking car and sounds amazing. Then there’s the XJ220s TWR. What the hell were they thinking. I want one now!!!
Outstanding job guys. That's a real old school supercar.
What a jag wire!
Top 3 favorite cars ever. I couldn't believe how cool it was when it came out.
The best looking car ever made
I remember my mum taking me to the Jag garage as a kid to see one of these in the show room. Think I was about 8 at the time. Blew me away with the size of it and actually seeing a car like that up close.
It is really long haha. So much space from the back of the gearbox to the back of the car.
Now this guy is a true soldier spending the money and playing with one of these cars is not a joke.
Thank you! I have always wondered where to tune the XJ220 that I will definitely never have 😊
Glad to help lol
Still remember watching Tiff Needell testing this car in old Top Gear...and I always felt mesmerized and hypnotized by the example being built at the factory in this exact same color combination, I think.
Outstanding!
Man this car is awesome! Never seen a street car shown in a video with so much detail, never knew the motor sounded so good.
You just made a 1 of 1 xj 220. It made me feel special, as a automotive enthusiast.
Thank you!!
For such a svelte looking car it tickles me to see so many parts taken straight from the parts bin 😂 Growing up in Coventry the Jag plant was literally next door to me ☺️
Been lucky enough to see two of these on the road where I live. A silver one and a green one with gold bbs alloys
The best colour I've ever seen one in. ❤ love it
I agree, that color is stunning and makes it look so sleek and modern.
Don't care for the V6 sound much, shame they didn't deliver on the V12.
Spectacular. What a treat
For me, this car is the greatest. I don’t think anything could ever look better, especially in silver.
That is a fine looking car. Jag really got that one right. Not bad for a V6 👍. Nice job Sir.
3 words, work of art
This was my dream car when I was a kid. Crazy that it was only a V6 though still at one time, the fastest car in the world.
there is something about the air of this cars with the looks and dashboard with levers....so 80s its a great looks and recipe
I like this typa content, Modyfing old supercars
I totally forgot about those cars. Very unique.
Absolutely stunning example. These cars have aged extremely well and have really come into the own the last few years. Every bit as special as an F40, 959 etc. Very under appreciated!
Amazing work guys! You've got to try and take it to the 220mph Jaguar themselves never reached.
By far, the best aging vehicle of all time. To think this was made early/mid 90s is mind boggling because i think it looks more modern that a bunch of the cars that come out now. Jaguar designers knew what they were doing back then with the xj220.
Just the noise it makes as it swooshes down the highway. Absolute beauty.
Put me down for a silver one.
Those wheels are so sweet!! God i cant believe someone finally did this!
They really make the car! Best of both world's from the street wheels and race wheels!
I love the absolute nut job that modified one of these lol.. You man are my hero
That cinnamon color is so good
Looks beautiful in that colour
That number plate is awesome.
Make sure its got the correct parts and wack that boost up. That engine in the 6R4 in Rallyecross did 750 all day.
Thank you so Much 👍 This is my Childhood Favourite Car.
This is STILL far and away THE most stunning looking supercar ever made! All these DECADES later and it STILL looks futuristic!
I love the sleek bodywork, nice wheels and turbo engine.
My daily car in TDU video game, driving it in Hawaii and it was a dream! Great to see it in real life!
so much cooler than anything they make today
Beautiful curves, British design at its best!. A forgotten classic that is super rare. And the colour is very nice as well here.
I was driving around river oaks houston at night coming from a tennis tournament, and out parked on the street was a silver xj220. I couldn't believe my eyes! I went back and took pictures and admired it. Never seen one in person, only in Gran Turismo.
That's awesome! Very rare car especially in the US!
I wish I could only just sit in for a moment, that will make the best day for me
That thing is GORGEOUS!
Damn that's a beautiful car, classic design that hasn't dated at all
Just come across this channel way way underrated love the xj220s 😎👊👍✌🇬🇧
Thank you!
Damn what an awesome video and car! Im so glad its out on the streets most of these XJ220’s are tucked away in collections.
One of my dream cars.
Seeing that Alpine deck in the car sure brings back some memories, thanks for the Video, eh?
It's a Rover Engine that was also in the SD1 Touring Car & was Also in the Metro 6r4 Rally Group Car. The Rear Lights are off a Rover 800 Vittesse.
I've only ever seen an XJ220 once as a child, it was enough to knock the Ferrari F40 off top spot. The XJ220 poster went on the wall 😁
A cat that has been exercising, and is ready to leap !!
That V64V engine was a masterpiece in it's day, and still holds it's own.
I'm glad someone thinks so! So much hate because it's not a V12. Championship Winning Engine and it fairly won it's class in Le Mans until the FIA robbed them.
@@omd_sd the whole car is better because it was changed to the V6. The V64V was a race and rally proven engine. It could rev to 9k back in the 80's, and was easily tuned. The V12 was larger, far heavier, less reliable, less tuneable, and the 4 valve heads were unproven technology. Then the complex and heavy 4wd system would have made it even more unreliable and slower! The V12 may have sounded better, but that's about it.
wow I'm so happy I came across this channel.... love to see someone actually doing something with history and not parking it.... new sub love to see what you have in store for this iconic car😊
The most beautiful car ever built forget about Ferraris😅😅😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧the best 👌 😊😊❤
Dang that thing looks soooo clean 👌
Now time to turn up the boost! 🎉
💥
Dream car, and awesome color!!
Ahh the car that redefined turbo lag. Such a timeless design
That color is amazing
Dyno numbers not so far from factory specifications. Really nice exotic car.
So now a reliable 225mph+ car. Well done.
Thank you!
Being a youtuber is hard, you can have a cool moded XJ220 on the channel but can't get 50k views. Great video!
looks great sounds like a 350z with a cat back
Im waiting for someone to shoehorn in the AWD V12 Jag >originally< promised…
Now THAT would be impressive.
What a beautiful machine ❤
