The Jaguar XJ 220 became famous for its top speed of 350 km/h for production vehicles, a record that was held from 1992 to 1994.
The creation of the XJ220 is unusual in that it emerged from the ideas and creativity of Jaguar employees.
Some employees worked on innovative and original projects outside the scope of routine commercial considerations.
A working group called "The Saturday Club" produced a "concept car" that was presented at the 1988 British Motor Show and caused a stir.
From this initial development work, the Jaguar XJ 220 emerged with the release of the first production vehicle in 1991.
The light and extremely powerful car had the performance characteristics of a real "supercar" and was characterized by its aerodynamic design and extremely modern lines for the time.
International rock stars and wealthy businessmen were enthusiastic buyers of this prestigious vehicle.
