This is one car I would never EVER let go…

I remember when I was young I had diecast models of the XJ220 on my dresser and posters and pictures from magazines posted on my wall.

There were fewer supercars as beautiful and the same is true today. 

It was ridiculously expensive. It was ridiculously exclusive and ridiculously fast due to its extreme light weight and its twin-turbo V6 engine from the Group C XJR-10/11 race cars.

Only 264 XJ220’s were built in collaboration with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) and this isn’t one of them.

This is the even more expensive, exclusive, and faster version called the Jaguar XJ220S and only 6 of these cars were built and it will soon go to auction.

The car was stripped and rebodied in carbon-fiber with a front splitter and an adjustable rear spoiler and the motor was tuned to 680hp. It was essentially a street legal version of the XJ220C GT race car.

This specific car has about 700hp due to a $20,000 titanium by TWR and an extra tuning done to the engine.

RM Auctions expects to sell the car for between $225,000-$300,000, about half of what the car originally cost. Pity the owner for selling, but praise the person buying!
