The XJ220 was on display in Prague for a while,And it's Price was ... for the lack of a more adequate term ... insane 24 million CZK at the time, translating to 500 000 £ in the 90ies due to the exchange rate. Which Is, again, totally insane. And yes, IT was already confirmed IT would never get thé V12 And would be stuck with V6 instead. Ridiculous.

All good, but if you're going to use AI to do the reading, make sure you review before posting. This car was not known as the "two hundred and twenty." It was known as the XJ 2-20. I can't believe how irritating it is to hear two hundred and twenty repeatedly. Sorry, this one is not going to get a like from me simply because you couldn't be bothered to check your material.

A friend once owned an XJS V12 and when we had to drive back to the city, I told him that I was going to take his car and he could drive mine. I left a few minutes after him and caught up with him and got a shock when I looked at the speedo ... it accelerated like shit out of a shanghai. The XJS and E-type were two of my favourite cars in the Jag range.

I enjoyed this video and glad it wasn't narrated by AI or if it was, it was a good version.

A lot of work was put into this video. That said, the voice over mispronounces model designations for all models with a number in them. For example a Porsche 956 is not a Porsche “nine hundred fifty six”. It is a Porsche 9 5 6. The numbers are pronounced as single digits. Editing images and videos is just as important as editing your voice overs, even if generated by AI.

I've been thinking that they should use the bodystyle with a few updates to things like the squared tail-lights, updated engine technological advancements such as superchargers, etc., update interior functionality for comfort and immersion in a sort of symbiotic feeling like being "one" with the car...if they keep the bodystyle with a few tweaks in more modern design to rear lights and more refined interior design and use updated tech methods for the engine and keep it mid-engine it would probably do really well provided the economy recovers and they offer it in a vast array of colors as well as developing additional body modifications for functionality variables...more reliablity for higher pricepoints are generally required if a company hopes to make a generous profit from such a product. Superchargers, twin turbos cumulative spool boosting (one lower end start the other at mid rpm to high) for example...V-8, V-6, V-10, V or W12 and the same for 16s with quad turbo options, and possible additional electric motors on front end for build up acceleration improvement in 0-60mph.

Der zwölf Zylinder wäre technisch ein Rückschritt gewesen, aber er hätte sich höchstwahrscheinlich besser verkauft. Ein Supercar braucht zumindest auf dem Papier einen Motor mit mehr als sechs Zylindern, zumindest in der damaligen Zeit.

You all have very good fact and reasons for the so mentioned demise of this Jag but you all forgot to mention that whilst you are all correct. Most buyers who cancelled their order now regret doing so. I personally would not have cared if it had a 4 cylinder engine as long as it could do what it was supposed to do. It seems that the modern car buyer is more about fashion engine's than performance. And that might be because the modern motorists are living in fantasy land, where they only want fashion engine's and fashion performance, because they can't use it and they can only talk about it. They sell us fast cars but then tell us we can't go fast.

The 1990s were a rough period economically and genuine customers for such cars were very rare (more speculators than real purchasers). Even the McLaren F1 failed to meet its sales targets. With respect to the XJ220, there were a huge number of problems. The major initial problem was clearly the V12. It has always been a low efficiency boat anchor. At its best, the V12 engine was producing under 60 bhp per litre in road format (less than a MGB engine which was designed in the 1950s). What were they even thinking announcing this car with this engine ? It was at this point that the XJ220 should have stopped.

When you advertise a V12, AWD super car in the beginning of the concept phase, accept extravagant $$ deposits, then change everything about the initial car, to a V6 RWD economy car disguised as a super car, people will balk, & say "no thanks, I'll get a Lambo, or Ferrari."

Hers the thing, awd jag was not experienced with, so better they did simpler rwd. Motor the v12s probably were great sounding but heavy and slower than a berserker rally var turbo v6... So probably this is a better car than the original concept would of been.. But ppl wanted bigger more complex for a supercar.... But I'm gonna say this was better than the one they were designing

Those were the days that wedge designs were out, and everything had to be round. I can't judge the technical performances nor the comfort of the interior (but who makes such silly mistakes as doors that don't open sufficiently ?), however, I can't say I'm in love with the design of the car. It's "not bad", but it leaves me lukewarm at best, depending on which colour the car got (I wasn't a fan of the Bugatti either). The Jag simply looked too long for a production model, it probably rarely fitted a parking lot. The design simply lacks that "timeless" quality of the best designed cars. It looks "terribly" 1990's, while for example the somewhat forgotten "baby Countach", the Bravo still looks modern 50 years after its introduction. A combination of straight lines and curves, some pinch lines here and there without overdoing it work better than this "everything round" approach. I'd give the design not more than a 7/10, the Bravo 8,5 to 9, just like the McLaren F1

Mir Jaffar was a hero for Hindus of Bengal, he did them a favour by inviting and aiding the British. The Muslim rule was atrocious and the people under them were suffering so much. But the narrative is set as india vs the British. Well British were not the heroes all over the country the demographic and conditions of people were not as bad as of Bengal.
