Jaguar XJ220 - People's Reactions in Sydney CIty in Australia

Here it is, the Jaguar XJ220 reaction episode. We drive the XJ220 through Sydney City in Australia, whilst recording people's reactions, some are priceless. The Jaguar XJ220 was always unappreciated, here today in 2018 we return that appreciation for one of the greatest cars in history. You can't discount the fact that the XJ220 was a Le Mans winner, with a 1-2 finish, held the Nurburgring lap record for 8 years from 1992-2000 and was the world's fastest car back in 1992. Sit back and enjoy one of the greatest phenomenal automotive art piece to come out of the United Kingdom.

XJ220 was my first love. This and the Diablo remain the two greatest car designs of all time They are so damn nice

[@geminiXXX]

Forgot Skoda Yeti mate

[@YoungAmzn]

countach*

[@spaghettifrog9746]

3 greatest car designs if you add the Ferrari F40

[@Blu3_SK33]

1998 Diablo sv is my favorite...

[@alexmalmstrom7299]

The car looks absolutely gorgeous.

[@Vas1984]

Ridiculous stats for a car from 92" Even by todays standards it's freakin fast

[@lucidinterval8012]

Not by today's though. Jk still fast.

[@venom5809]

I've driven an F40, seen maybe 10 Veyrons in my life and will probably never see an XJ220 in my life, especially driving. I don't even know how I would react if I saw one driving down the road? All you need now is a McLaren F1 and your collection will be untouchable.

[@msleep5324]

Seen 10 in one place from a jaguar show and also seen the original v12 due to my line of work but depending on where you are from you just need to look at the right shows. Like good wood revival and also jaguar historic racing series and things like that

[@SupraNaturalTT]

I remember seen a kid back in 05 driving his dad's plumb color XJ220 with his date to prom as that was the time for it. This was in Tucson, AZ in the Catalina foothills area which has some nice cars but pales in comparison to some really wealthy states. So crazy to later find out through Jay Leno's garage that there were only 280 or so ever built and two of them resided here in Tucson, AZ.

[@WymiataczPlays]

shit, you drove a F40. You won life already

[@BobbyDazzler888]

+Uncle Rico f40 did200. 220 was a massive leap

[@tredfxman]

Then down the Batcave it goes... 😄 👍

[@WymiataczPlays]

@@BobbyDazzler888 It did 213 mph with cats and 217,7 or so without them. 201 to 213 mph is STILL a massive leap though, and wasn't the F40 without cats anyway? if it was, we should compare 201 to 217,7 mph in my opinion, which is even more of a leap. Those 80s, 90s, 00s supercars were getting motherf*cking bonkers. There was a Top Gear episode, in which they showed how a new Zonda, Ferrari Enzo and Carrera GT got effortlessly murdered by then-12-years-old XJ220 and then-10 or 11-years old McLaren F1. And then about to come was the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 weighing below 1100kg and packing a 7,7 V12 N/A that was pushing 1000++hp in it's first, most brutal tune setup, TVR company owner should be sentenced for denying the production of it. This shit would fucking demolish a Bugatti Veyron in everything except top speed, if there was someone psycho enough to drive it to it's limit. A car for a suicidal person, either he kills himself easily or comes out filled with happiness and wish to live again. Good, good times. If I ever am able to afford a supercar in my life, I'm looking for something from late 80's to very early 00's...

[@lucidinterval8012]

Good luck keeping up with it.

[@MrBradclack]

My dad has been an E-TYPE fan since they came out but this car blew his mind and we lined up to see one when they bought one to Aotearoa/New Zealand in 1993 . It's one of few modern cars that he loves

This car never gets old for sure! When It's born to shine, it never lose his majesty!

[@Kazuya720]

Its actually about 20 years ago. I drove with my brother in his old Porsche 944 and suddenly in our 15.000 people village near Munich (Ismaning) we a british racing green Jaguar XJ220. We both know exactly what it is. We decided to wait who will come. After about 20 Minutes, two young guys came from a Biergarten nearby. The car had an UK license plate. Than they start and we followed them the whole way from the inner-village to the exit to the Autobahn. One of the craziest and rarest, ones in a life-time experience.... well... 18 years later, I found a Carrera GT, same place ;) same route. Difference hear, he lived there, I talked some time with him and he even let me sit in his CGT. :)

The best looking Jaguar since the E Type, and a design ahead of it's time, there are very few cars designed in the late 80's early 90's that haven't dated style wise, the XJ220 is one of those cars and my favourite Jaguar of all time.

[@Technosis100]

i honestly didn't know that there was a xj220 down here ... the only time i've ever seen one was at the motor show in Melbourne before they stopped doing it because it wasn't getting enough people still one of my favorite cars of all time thank you for this video.

[@Kev27RS]

@Upside Down Australian Shill I wasn't just talking about the Diablo 6.0 VT that was released in 2000... which is still a 90's car! I was talking about cars that came out after 2001... like the Enzo, Carrera GT, Murciélago, etc... These cars, although came out in the early 2000's, were all developped and designed during the very late 90's! ✌

Amazing car My favourite XJ220 what a machine

[@dorout1]

Here in Massachusetts, close to Boston, the cars that get all of the attention are MKIV Supra's and Skyline GTR 34's. It could be the fact that we are in different parts of the world. Regardless, I go to meets and drive around with these guys all the time. Time and time again it's always the Supra's and Skylines. You want the attention car of all time, get a MKIV Supra or Skyline GTR 34. They aren't officially stamped as a super/exotic, but they legit *always* get the attention. About 3 years ago I did see a XJ220 in Boston. Right behind it there was a Veyron and a chick was driving it.

[@robt8620]

He doesnt mention the lack of brakes.. so this model must have had a brake servo fitted. My xj220 could not be easily stopped at low speeds even using extreme force on the pedal as it had no servo . I could manage 185mph through france to switzerland and yes those looks.. i added a sports exhaust to mine too.. still have the original exhaust in my garden shed!

[@ImmortalInflames]

Dream car. I've had a beautiful 1/12 scale model of one for a good 25 years It really hurts to know there is/was one in Sydney and never new. I heard there was one for sale in Sydney last year, dark red colour? What does it cost to insure such a car? How expensive are the tyres? Cruising around, what sort of fuel economy does it get? Heavy clutch, brakes and steering? How often does it get serviced? Cost of a basic service? I'll never have the chance to own that unicorn, but have always wanted to know those basic user questions about. Obviously if you can afford it, you don't care about fuel economy, it's more of a curious question being that it's a V6 and how it would compare to an Aventador (for example).
