What do y'all Want to see next?

People Didn’t buy it , because Originally it was shown with a V12 engine, NOT a V6

I went to see the XJ 2200 at the NEC in Birmingham UK. It was & still is in my opinion the most beautiful cars ever.

This seems like a sophisticated AI voice narrating text. "XJ two-hundred-twenty", every time. Yet "blah blah em em shorter", every time. What person would talk like that, even if they're british?

I guess it’s simple ? You may win a race using a V-6 but you’re drinking the Champagne in car using a V-12.

I drove it at the Melbourne Motor Show because I was asked to move it so I took it for a drive it was the fastest car I had ever driven and I was super impressed because it was so fast and it looked so good it outshone every other car in the show and made

I would buy it now. It's still one of the most beautiful cars ever produced.

Half the cylinders. Half the drive wheels. Half the wheels that steer. Id be half pissed.

The problem was there were a lot of people thinking they could flip the car at the time it was first shown - but by the time the car came out the economy had gone into recession - the fact that the specs of the car changed just gave them an excuse to get out of purchasing it.

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.

I would say it’s a very beautiful car and still looks very beautiful today.

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.

It's British and it's a Jaguar: already has 2 strikes against it.

Interesting fact regarding "Alcans bonded aluminum". Alcan was a Canadian mining company and aluminum manufacturer founded in 1902. Alcan use to manufacture aluminum hulls for boats using their bonded aluminum process in the late 60's up to the early 70's.

Should’ve had a V12, should’ve been AWD, and should’ve had active aero. I can’t believe the decision makers don’t get that. It’s like Honda with the NSX. If you’re going to take on Ferrari, you better bring a V8!

It would have been a hit had they stuck with the original concept of natural breathing 6 liter V12 and AWD! Instead they went with a non-jaguar turbo V6 from a Rally car!

For my money, one of - if not the - most beautiful supercar ever. I remember seeing one in Stratstone's of Mayfair on a rotating table and I'd just go in and stare at it. 30yrs + on and I'd say it's aged remarkably well...

Such a beautiful and iconic car! If only Jaguar would keep an V12 or at least V8 with AWD - that would be an epic car... It is amazing to see that sometimes car companys ignore the engine size, its sound and awd options.

I would have buyed it if I had money as I simply love the xj220 in terms of design and practicality

I really enjoyed your video mate, I bet you could make a great video on the F40 V F50. Looking forward to watching it in the future if you do it, all the best mate.

The arrival of the Mclaren F1 made the XJ220 out of date.

I just looked up the '92 model, in excellent condition it is valued at 689,000 (Hagerty Jan-Jun 2023 price guide). I remember the magazine articles at the time, how they showed all the innovations in the design, one of was all wheel drive, which I see from this, never made it into production. I enjoyed this video and glad it wasn't narrated by AI or if it was, it was a good version. AI probably would have pronounced it XJ two,two, zero and I didn't hear any of the typical AI mispronunciations. I'm going to go check out the Leno assessment of the car.

That car was awesome. That year it came out ESPN had ex NASCAR racers and even Paul Newman raced em in summer that year.

I remember the debut of the car very well. All was good until they swapped out the V12 and went with the turbo V6. It was a huge letdown. Everybody wanted a Silk Cut Jaguar which of course had the V12.

*10:55** The video would be 5 minutes shorter, if "he" didn't keep saying TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY.* lol. 🤣

I have always loved the XJ220 ever since it was in Need for Speed 2.

Seeing one in real life they are absolutely stunning. A true British masterpiece

Another AI narrated video with those weird little AI mistakes.

I sat in one once on a tour of the Jaguar factory. I'm 6' 2" tall and the roof is so low I could not sit upright in the car and had to lean my head/neck at 45 degrees just to get into the drivers seat. It would be impossible for anyone of my height to drive this car. You would need to be approx 5' 6" or less to fit into the drivers seat on this car without your head touching the roof.

I always like the XJ220, now I like the cx75

So the bait was an AWD 12 cylinder supercar with scissor doors, and the switch was a RWD 6 cylinder car with regular doors - and Jaguar wonders why they didn't sell? The key to success is to promise a lot and deliver little - right? RIGHT?

Gran video sigue así ❤

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.

..I only ever saw 2 of these on the road here in SoCal. Both silver, so it could have been the same car twice. But, Once I was behind one of them and looking up the rear of the car, what struck me was that the car was almost empty from the rear wheels back. I must say that it sounded wonderful and looked great too........

It didn't sell because in those days a V6 with turbo was not acceptable as an engine for flagship top of the line car. It felt as a let down, even if it had enough Power and top speed.

The xj220 disappointment has stayed in the memory of jaguar so long it caused Jaguar to shelve the spectacular cx75 concept. A car that would have been a boon to jaguar and boosting the brands prestige. Jaguar is a shell of itself today. So sad

A scary car. Because it had Jag quality.

Removing the emissions made it faster he says 🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸 well no shaaaaaaatttt

The promising a V12,and then delivering a a V6 was what killed this car,even tho the V6 idea was well ahead of its time and had plenty of power.

7:22: customers were certainly NOT ''expecting a banger''. in those days 'banger' meant a pile of junk. FOOL

With the re-commitment to IC engines by European car companies, I hope that Jaguar makes a V12 supercar someday

I ordered this car but did NOT receive it, probably because my blank check bounced at 220 mph!!!

That is a most beautiful car, by the first supercar makers,and of series one xj six.

People have forgotten just how savage the recession was in the early 90's. Massive defaulting on mortgages with corresponding reposessions by the banks, business closing down and high interest rates. People think the current 5.25% is high 😂😂 back then I was paying 13% on my mortgage.

It was launched at an unfortunate time, and people failed to pay up on their pre-orders. But also, its too big for most roads in the UK lol. Most beautiful car ever made though

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.

One of the best looking supercars exept for the wheels.

Absolutely AWESOME CAR ❤😮 and fast as a rocket 🚀 😮

What is the name of the car? Is that the XJ220? or is it an XJ220. I think it is an XJ220... Maybe an XJ220...

It was gorgeous!

The car's design is timeless, it still looks fantastic today. Jag might not have reliability down at the time, but they sure know how to design cars.

Great content. AI voice messes up the F40 amd Porsche HP figures, calling them "GP"

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

How can a V12 to a V6 be considered anything but a serious let down?

3:06 WHYYYYYY? 😭😭😭

Promised an all wheel drive V12, deliverd a 2WD V6. Still very good but not exactly what it said on the tin and then there was the XJR15 a 2WD V12 which muddied the water for a slightly cheaper price.

*13:40** Auto SAPIEN should refer to the car the way the REST of us HUMANS do... as the X JAY TWO TWENTY.*

So what stops them bringing it again in market if it was so good.

The v12 engine often had soft camshafts as a common fault.

Soon Jaguar will be History. Tata own the brand and have stated no more petrol engines after 2030 and only electric self igniting firebombs to be produced in Poland.

I know a v12 was promised but what they were able to squeeze out of the tt v6 at that time was fuckin legendary. I still would have accepted.

Sometimes threre´s a engine sound in the background (sounds like an accelerating car) - What is that?!?!?!

14:15: pic clearly shows a car factory in the NINETEEN FIFTIES. i hereby challenge anyone to provide the relevance of fifties footage.

And then they made a supercar everybody wanted, it was even featured in a Bond film, but it never went into production... Jaguar C-X75 😤😤😤

sounded like a robot voice 🤖

Just looked at a nice emerald green XJ220.. Price was only 10k. Stunning car for the money. Bound to be a collectable Jaguar .

Hi new subscriber here 😎

220 not 2 hundred 20. That was cringe

Why do these videos always show tons of cars having absolutely nothing to do with the video?

TWR were also a poor business partner because Tom Walkinshaw was never fully behind the XJ220 and favoured the TWR designed XJR15.

...just give it to me - I like it.

So unfair this channel got no subscribers. Come on guys,

2:22: musk wasn't even born yah dorks

With all due respect to all supercars.... Porsche 959 may even look ugly to some people... but it is undoubtedly the most influential supercar ever to come out of an assembly line.

But: didn't the Jensen FF had the Ferguson Formula 4 WD system? developed by Ferguson tractors then sold to Ford for little money afterwards made millions from this? its what I remember reading at the time

What software you use to make these videos?

Is this video's voice-over AI or does the narrator juts not know how to say XJ220 or XK120 ?

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

The disappointment and disgust I felt when they announced the V6 instead of the V12, was similar to the ruining of Game of Thrones with the appaling final series. Both had the potential to be amazing, but were self sabotaged at the final hurdle.

It must be about time for a Jaguar XJ320. Bugatti have had it their way for long enough.

Yeah there’s a bloody good reason of why it didn’t sell very good?! Was because all the customers got fucked over on the engine they were getting, they were told the car WILL be getting a V12 lump when instead they got a shitty V6 lump so underpowered for the size of the car?!!! I would be pissed as well……I mean why didn’t they just go for just 2 extra cylinders and make it a V8 instead that wouldn’t have been so bad? Would it?

The Saturday clib

Elon Musk has no place in this video.

Nobody ever calls it the "two hundred twenty" and repeating it wrongly through the video detracts from the story

Insane

two hundred twenty.................... SAKES it was NEVER, REPEAT NEVER called that. FOOLS

when you build a supercar after so much garbage you get what people think is a garbage supercar no matter what.

Who's reading this? Find someone who knows cars to read copy about cars.

Great upload. Beautiful & excellent car, unfortunately with a poor company backing leading it to its (predictable) demise, as so many. The worlds has many more exquisite cars past & present (& future). The best? Yes for Jaguar, for the world, not really. too much resemblance (in every aspect) to what has been developed before. Other cars/brands were much more 'their time ahead'. One only has to consult few proper car encyclopedia and an open mind to what (automotive technological wonders) has been created in the past and also was 'little or not' properly communicated.

It was soo funny when the bot said "muh kunt" instead of Mark Hunt (the test driver) Love bots. AI will change the world huh? Hoho.

who play the music in the last part of the video?

No, it was a classic case of bait and switch

Pity about the commentary. Reading gp instead of hp. Really strange

It was a Jaguar, say no more .

Poxy AI narration - It wasn't called the "XJTwoHundredTwenty" 🙄

What's wrong with the narrator. He speaks English, with an English accent. However, he speaks with an American dialect. How strange and confusing.

I see you at 500k subscr... in one year. InshaAllah.

1:33 this affect requires gpu acceleration

Problem was it costs to much back in the day. If they lowered the price it would have sold big.
