FERRARI F40 vs JAGUAR XJ220: Which is the ultimate 200mph pioneer? | Top Gear: Series 29

In the late 80s, a number of manufacturers were racing to create a production car capable of 200mph. This led to a mini-boom of incredibly bespoke and awe inspiring machinery. Chris Harris believes the Ferrari F40 is the last word in 200mph pioneers, but Freddie Flintoff thinks the Jaguar XJ220 is the ultimate choice. So, let's see what they've got to say and let us know your pick of the two in the comments below.

@@bx16v That is one aspect. But turbo is worse for reliability, that's why. For V12 less strain on each piston, because the force is more distributed. Make a high capacity V12 and you have big pistons with less strain on each of them. As opposite, make a small engine, one piston, big power. That piston (and cylinder and other parts) is doing all work, it captures all punishment. But in the end what matters is of course how well the engine is made.

Instead of the F40, the direct competitor to the XJ220 was the Bugatti EB110 GT and then the Super Sport. The F40 itself was actually Italy's brute force answer to the German technological marvel, that was the Porsche 959.

[@stephanvelines7006]

Bugatti’s EB110 4 wheel drive and a heavy quad turbo V12 lead to drive train losses and thermal challenges. With both solutions being heavy on top of that. Obviously there is beauty in the technical achievement and the complexity, Especially back in the day. The recipe Jaguar went for with the group B derived turbo V6, RWD was, with regard to results, more promising and ultimately worth it.

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

@@stephanvelines7006 Except the XJ220 became a frankencar with no direction. It's a massive sleek grand tourer. But it doesnt even have a V12 engine. It's got raw ingredients but tries to make it soft. The EB110 was almost as fast, but with a much cooler V12 engine and awd. The SS version was just better in every way even being lighter than the XJ220

[@jimtaylor294]

^ Nope. The EB110 struggled to reach its recorded speed, even after Bugatti took the wing mirrors off. The XJ220 could reach 223mph with minimal fuss, and in 680hp XJ220S form top 230mph. Not bad for half the cylinders and turbo's :D . (and less than half the Turbo Lag) Plus: She humiliated the V12 Pagani Zonda *twice* in 1/4 mile drag races; due to having vastly more torque and groundforce. I think that's 3 to NIL in the XJ220's vs Italian competition sphere. (though not the first time that Jaguar produced a car that left an Italian car maker stumped for a response)

It’s manic. To start the car, you insert this key that looks like it folds in two, then you depress a squishy rubber button to the right of the wheel, while pushing in the brake and clutch pedals, which both feel lightly sprung under the feet and make a noticeable “click” sound once they reach the end of their travel. At idle, the car feels lumpy and sounds almost (from the cabin anyways) like a muscular American V8 idling. Once you give it some gas and ease out the surprisingly light clutch, it jutters forward (not so smoothly) and the wine of the gearbox as well as the change-in-pitch of the engine starts. The engine becomes surprisingly smooth, but not very torquey up until about 3600RPM or so, with the only hint at power being the huuuuge “ssshhhhh” sound of the turbos and the wastegate “pash” every time you upshift. Every upshift brings out the clicks of the shifter gate as well as the clicks of the pedals. Past 3600RPM the car becomes manic, and you hear more turbo sound than you do engine sound, and the shift from redline brings an immense “WAPASH” from behind you. The suspension is immensely stiff, but not jarringly so - it feels compliant. The thing you notice most is the sound of every tiny little rock and pebble being spat up by the wheels hitting the underside of the car, as the carbon fibre and the car having no sound-shielding really work in tandem with the engine, turbos, gearbox and little “snick snick” sounds of everything else to make the symphony of noises quite loud and visceral. If you experience it once (as I did - only once), it’ll remain an experience that you never forget, for as long as you live.

The F40 is the quintessential "modern-ish" Ferrari in my books!

80'-90's.... epic era

Chris Harris: F40 is the greatest road car ever. Gordon Murray: Laughs in McLaren F1....

[@MarcSob22]

I love the XJ220, but F40 any day over it!! The F40 always will be the best!!

Ferrari 812 Super Fast joke is one of the best car joke I ever heard. Bravo

"The actual first production car - albeit, a limited production - that was proven to genuinely crack 200mph was Ruf's CTR Yellowbird. The 470 horsepower, 3.4L Twin-Turbo Flat-6 made this legendary car reach a top speed of 211mph back in 1987. A year later, it went even faster, reaching 213mph. In my view, it was truly and conclusively the world's first 200mph production car."

@Luigi Battista and still technically a production car. Read a book.

@@mikehunt9894 we talking about stock cars and no modded. Let your yellobird ride against an F40 LM or an F40 GT no chance.

Gotta be honest the Jag really does it for me.

Harris makes Flintoff sound like a clown

[@zerosixteen.4644]

Yup, he sounds ass

[@RICHOCHANGO]

Flintoff can sound like clown on his own. He doesn't need any help

[@DanteL007]

Hahaha.. i was thinking the same 😊

[@Roadwarrior92]

Yh I can't stand Freddie

[@RRSmurf]

I thought he was pretty good... Oh well 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@winstonapps5683]

In most industries it's difficult to determine peak. Not with cars. There were cars before the F40 and then there were cars after the F40.

[@luchadorito]

Are these the current Top Gear hosts? They are actually likeable, I might have to start watching the show again!

[@tomh7647]

I've been watching the new one since season 24 and it's not actually bad tbh i enjoy it but it will never be as perfect as the Jeremy James and Richard "era"

[@RalphieMuskinyaar]

Ferrari F40 is the greatest supercar of all time. There’s no debate.

[@caprise-music6722]

Couldn’t agree more! It has literally everything! Talk about Ferraris greatest hits

[@kevinek5162]

*McLaren f1 disliked that*

[@Goat4459]

Ehhhhh...that AND the Countach. Countach nr1 and the F40 is in between nr 1 and 2

[@Goat4459]

@@kevinek5162 well yes but the F1 is one of the single ugliest cars McLaren ever made.

[@N911GT2]

The F40 could barely drive... the 959 you could drive every day and then some. Comparing the F40 to the 959 is like comparing a typewriter to a MacBook pro and complaining about the color of the MacBook. It's superior in every way and initially just 2 mph slower. But 959's grew quicker, F40's just got slower.

[@Osounds.]

Harris is one of the few who have the ability to make you feel a car with words

[@AnHebrewChild]

Yeah. Not to idolize the dude, only to appreciate his gifting. And this dude HAS a gift for that. I really appreciate Chris for that. My introduction to him was the f40 vs 50 video. Since I'll likely not drive one in this lifetime, that video made me feel like I at least knew what it'd be like. Cheers. (astute observation tho in your comment)

[@1986Unlimited]

Beautiful cinemtography and classic cars. One suggestion though..let the engine of these cars be the soundtrack for the videos. People want to hear more of it.
