- We are finally done with the restoration and upgrade of this beautiful Jaguar XJ220! But before we send it off, we have to drive it and make sure everything works, and properly dyno tune the car!!

• XJ220 Build
Arguably one of the sexiest cars ever built.
It's up there!
Nah no argument
@@omd_sd topped only by the TWR
Agree
@@2JZDestroyerna, the 220S looked like a shopping cart with the rear spoiler.
People don't even drive these never mind mod them. Looks soo stunning in that colour
I think there is only like 3 in existence.
That colour was pretty common on other Jags in the 90s (where I’m from anyway).
Eh, subjective. I was thinking more along the lines of 'great car, but shame about the paint job...'
This car is more of a flex than nearly any modern Lamborghini or Ferrari.
100% facts
Looks way better than it sounds tho 💯😅
@@winstonpratt604 Dumping the V12 was 😱😱😱...
Nearly? It does. Like most heavily modified cars do...
@@tumslucks9781 yeah looks cool but definitely form over function on this build
I used to work on one of these when I worked for Mercedes UK, one of our customers had one.
It Is without a doubt the most intimidating cars I’ve ever driven (and I’ve driven a lot of fast cars with way more power that a xj220)cold damp tarmac, big fat wide cold tyres, no traction aids no power steering no servo assist brakes, can’t see much outside because you sit so low down, my all time favourite car and a real honour to work on one.
Such a beautiful car. It never aged. But I wished they built the C-X75. Such an amazing engineering
I wished they built the V12 version that was originally going to be built and ALOT of preorder people put deposits down only to learn it was going to be a V6 twin turbo. Most of those preorder people backed out.
@@jgonzalesm6 the V12 version of the XJ220, or the V12 version of the CX-75? because that quad yasa motor and micro turbine hybrid setup with the then-new V12 they never ended up building iirc, would've been like nothing before it and nothing we have today.
If anyone has a broken xj220 they'd like to sell or donate, I've got a running jag v12 in an xjs that needs "building" 😂
@@3xeplodng_3agle_studios - The V12 version that was supposed to be built and told to investors that pre-paid only to get an XJ220 with a V6 TT. Those investors backed out because they were "sold" a lie by Jaguar.
@@jgonzalesm6 no no. I understood those parts. I was only asking which car you meant. Which you did answer and for which I thank you.
I knew of that debacle with the XJ220 I just wasn't sure if similar happened with the cx-75, as I know less about those and to my knowledge there's less *_TO_* know about them.
@@3xeplodng_3agle_studios - 👍
I've always thought these 220's would lend themselves well to a few mods, given technology gains in ECU's, Turbochargers, since these things were made. Good on you guys for going ahead and doing it.
We agree! Super happy with how it came out!
best looking supercar of all time!
I believe I had only seen XJ220s in silver and not thinking much of them aesthetically, but what a beautiful car it is in this particular shade of red.
They really don't look very good in silver.
This car does not age and still looks awesome today , Iconic car ,What a awesome piece!!!!!
Insane seeing a Jaguar actually run.
well it's not more reliable than any other unfortunately :/ just way more expensive^^ but really good looking :)
too bad they never made it with the V12 they were suppose to^^
Insane seeing this idiotic comments from people who are driving 500$ civic from 2004
@@Ze_Hans well nobody said the car isn't good looking, they are notorious to be more at the shop than on the road , like most jags :)
Insane seeing an XJ220 in the wild** fixed it
@@Ze_Hans Dollar sign goes before the number.
One of my top 3 as a child. The XJ, the F50 and the F1.
I think they were all the fastest cars in the world during each individual release date.
The Ferrari F40 has left the chat.
Took the words out of my mouth
Nfs2 vibes
@@komoruI would rather have the F40.
Never thought I’d see a video of one on a dyno in 2024, let alone being tuned and modified. I was lucky enough to see one in person in Las Vegas. Very special car. Jay Leno has a great video on one as well.
It looks tremendous in red! What a beauty.
Awesome car. I had a model of it when I was a kid. Those Rover 200 rear lights though 😂
Those are parts bin rover tail lights??
Nothing wrong with parts bins, the mirrors are Citroen , and the engine is an Austin Rover 6R4 Metro , the Lamborghini diablo had Austin Mini indicator stalks !
People seem to forget these are far rarer than F40s
And faster!
@@omd_sd not around the twisty bits they aren't. In a straight line yes. F40's drive like go carts, Jag 220's drive like earlier Lambos and require monumental effort to drive quickly on the bendy bits.
And would still rather have an F40 😂. Dont even get me started on the Mclaren F1 😂
@@refillz5281 Dont even get me started on how useless and irelevant your opinion is.Brand snob😂😅
@@Lazerus2008 held the record around the ring in Germany for a long time check it out
jaguar did make beautiful cars back in the day , its better than the current supercar looks of today by a mile.
There used to be a guy in Cheltenham in the uk who would use one every day and call into the pub for a drink incredible presence on the street a real treat to see . Bless he’s no longer with us , great man
One of the sexiest and best looking cars ever built. This is one that many people never knew existed and only those in the know remember. Just amazing
Awesome driving footage...thanks for sharing!
that thing looks amazing even by todays standards, i would love to see one resto modded with an updated interior and laser lights
Love the analogue gauges, simple temp controls and the classic Alpine stereo
I had a metal Model that was close to 18.5 inches long, the exact same color as this car shown. The Jaguar XJ220 is my treasured dream. Much respect, & Thank You for sharing. To actually see one driven stateside and that it’s very rare car is astounding
Nothing beats jaguar xj220. The beauty never gets old
The most beautiful supercar ever made.
Easily one of the best looking cars ever. Timeless style.
Who needs a supermodel when you can look at that beauty every day 👌👌👌👌
Also doesn't cost you as much money, as well.
What Gran Turismo dreams are made of, sweet build from fellow FC builders!
I drove one in GT7 recently, I think the real thing is better hahaha
I must say that is one beautiful car... the shape and colour is amazing just topped off by the turbo whistle and blow off valve... ❤
One of the best looking cars ever produced along a handful of others from the era.
Started the video, immediately heard "Jag Wire" and had to pause and reflect on what just happened. This was a childhood dream car.
It has been quite surprising how many people are hurt by my pronunciation haha. As a West Coast American that's how I learned to say that word. I should have just said "Jaaaaag" like Clarkson. Hopefully you enjoyed the video otherwise!
An XJ220
One of the best cars almost nobody talks about, sure it has a v6 when it’s supposed to have a v12. But it’s a great looking car and sounds amazing. Then there’s the XJ220s TWR. What the hell were they thinking. I want one now!!!
BADKITY. What great plate and great car. Greetings from England.
I was thinking the same
The trashy name goes along with the fukboi exhaust, have some taste!
Top 3 favorite cars ever. I couldn't believe how cool it was when it came out.
The best looking car ever made
For such a svelte looking car it tickles me to see so many parts taken straight from the parts bin 😂 Growing up in Coventry the Jag plant was literally next door to me ☺️
Definitely one of the most gorgeous vehicles ever made
This was my dream car when I was a kid. Crazy that it was only a V6 though still at one time, the fastest car in the world.
Been lucky enough to see two of these on the road where I live. A silver one and a green one with gold bbs alloys
Spectacular. What a treat
It's a Rover Engine that was also in the SD1 Touring Car & was Also in the Metro 6r4 Rally Group Car. The Rear Lights are off a Rover 800 Vittesse.
I've only ever seen an XJ220 once as a child, it was enough to knock the Ferrari F40 off top spot. The XJ220 poster went on the wall 😁
Now this guy is a true soldier spending the money and playing with one of these cars is not a joke.
I remember my mum taking me to the Jag garage as a kid to see one of these in the show room. Think I was about 8 at the time. Blew me away with the size of it and actually seeing a car like that up close.
It is really long haha. So much space from the back of the gearbox to the back of the car.
Still remember watching Tiff Needell testing this car in old Top Gear...and I always felt mesmerized and hypnotized by the example being built at the factory in this exact same color combination, I think.
Outstanding!
Thank you! I have always wondered where to tune the XJ220 that I will definitely never have 😊
Glad to help lol
You need someone to design you an exhaust for this to make it sound better, it’s lacking in that area
Sorry you don't like it! Hopefully you enjoyed the video other than that! Closing the exhaust valves so the muffler is working does clean it up, I will have to post a short of the difference in sound at some point!
With the currect fukboi trend all anyone things is good = loud. This shrill stainless rattle is horrible that and the "badkitty" plate are what I would expect from Americans!
Outstanding job guys. That's a real old school supercar.
So now a reliable 225mph+ car. Well done.
Thank you!
That is a fine looking car. Jag really got that one right. Not bad for a V6 👍. Nice job Sir.
Im waiting for someone to shoehorn in the AWD V12 Jag >originally< promised…
Now THAT would be impressive.
The best colour I've ever seen one in. ❤ love it
I agree, that color is stunning and makes it look so sleek and modern.
Don't care for the V6 sound much, shame they didn't deliver on the V12.
My daily car in TDU video game, driving it in Hawaii and it was a dream! Great to see it in real life!
Absolutely stunning example. These cars have aged extremely well and have really come into the own the last few years. Every bit as special as an F40, 959 etc. Very under appreciated!
Amazing work guys! You've got to try and take it to the 220mph Jaguar themselves never reached.
This is STILL far and away THE most stunning looking supercar ever made! All these DECADES later and it STILL looks futuristic!
This and the tvr speed12 are out off this world 🌎
By far, the best aging vehicle of all time. To think this was made early/mid 90s is mind boggling because i think it looks more modern that a bunch of the cars that come out now. Jaguar designers knew what they were doing back then with the xj220.
Beautiful curves, British design at its best!. A forgotten classic that is super rare. And the colour is very nice as well here.
Dyno numbers not so far from factory specifications. Really nice exotic car.
Back when supercars were more super in design. One of the all time great "poster" cars.
Man this car is awesome! Never seen a street car shown in a video with so much detail, never knew the motor sounded so good.
For me, this car is the greatest. I don’t think anything could ever look better, especially in silver.
thats really what it needed power-wise as that chassis is just absurdly overbuilt. Now it has McLaren F1 type power. I do think it weighs 500 lbs more though so would need roughly 680hp to equal its strait line punch, but then again turbos do make for high trap speeds!
Thank you so Much 👍 This is my Childhood Favourite Car.
I was driving around river oaks houston at night coming from a tennis tournament, and out parked on the street was a silver xj220. I couldn't believe my eyes! I went back and took pictures and admired it. Never seen one in person, only in Gran Turismo.
That's awesome! Very rare car especially in the US!
Looks beautiful in that colour
That number plate is awesome.
Make sure its got the correct parts and wack that boost up. That engine in the 6R4 in Rallyecross did 750 all day.
That car looks like how in the Classic movie "Wraith" supposed to of look like! I like the rims and sound of the Engine and turbo exhaust sounds! 👍
so much cooler than anything they make today
That thing is GORGEOUS!
Next to the Testarosa and the rx7 S2 this is one of my favorite cars that I wish I could own
Just the noise it makes as it swooshes down the highway. Absolute beauty.
Put me down for a silver one.
You just made a 1 of 1 xj 220. It made me feel special, as a automotive enthusiast.
Thank you!!
One of my dream cars.
I love the absolute nut job that modified one of these lol.. You man are my hero
I like this typa content, Modyfing old supercars
I totally forgot about those cars. Very unique.
Very beautiful
Now time to turn up the boost! 🎉
💥
I wish I could only just sit in for a moment, that will make the best day for me
Seeing that Alpine deck in the car sure brings back some memories, thanks for the Video, eh?
its so beautiful, needs a proper exhaust
I concur, it sounds way raspy, it should have a low throb like the porn star that it is! 😏
We need smooth, clean, design in the auto industry again. Everything doesn't need vents and creases everywhere...the silhouette...the stance and dimensions...so much can be stated without just adding more and more to the design.
That one newer Mazda concept is a decent example of modern, yet clean, smooth and simple design.
One of my fav cars of all time
That cinnamon color is so good
What a beautiful machine ❤
Being a youtuber is hard, you can have a cool moded XJ220 on the channel but can't get 50k views. Great video!
I love the sleek bodywork, nice wheels and turbo engine.
In hindsight, it's mad people got so upset about the driveline changes.
This car was set to be a 500hp / 400lb V12 but ended up being a 550hp / 475lb Turbo V6. Halving the engine size and dropping the 4wd system also saves probably 150 - 200kg of weight?
It's also pretty mad to think my 2016 M4 dyno'd at 450hp at the fly with a 3.0 twin turbo. So, the almost 30 year older Jag made 100hp more with only 0.5l extra and none of the fancy tech we have today.
Fair play Jaguar 👏
As Italian and a Maserati ghibli owener.....
Rispetto!!!!
one of the best looking cars ever made, now with appropiate internals / performance.
men i wish i had one!
the sound is now also as it should be
J220 lemans winner 🏆 walkinshaw racing machine
Those wheels are so sweet!! God i cant believe someone finally did this!
They really make the car! Best of both world's from the street wheels and race wheels!
3 words, work of art
A cat that has been exercising, and is ready to leap !!
Dang that thing looks soooo clean 👌
Just come across this channel way way underrated love the xj220s 😎👊👍✌🇬🇧
Thank you!
You are the ownly one that drives this cars. I seen 2 of them and both owner never drove them.
Respect for doing something uncommon like this what a great looking and incredible sounding car! An audio-visual treat!
I sat in one in a museum in Coventry years ago. It’s the only super car I would have,
This car is art!
