Jaguar XJ220 (1992-1994)

542 bhp, 3,498 cc dual overhead camshaft twin-turbocharged 
V-6 engine with Zytek fuel injection.
200+ mph performance. 475 foot-pounds of torque, 
performance numbers that favourably compare with many of today’s fastest cars, 
gave the XJ220 awesome power, quicker to 60 mph and faster (217 mph) 
than both the Ferrari F40 and the Lamborghini Diablo.
Debuting to great acclaim at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Show, 
the prototype XJ220 was approved for production after customer interest skyrocketed. 
The cars were to be sold at an MSRP of £361,000 (US$580,000) 
making them one of the most expensive production cars ever seen. Only 281 built.
