INSTRUCTION SHEET
The British Jaguar XJ 220 became famous for
its top speed amongst series production cars, attaining 350 km / h, a record
which was held from 1992 and 1994. The inception of the XJ220 is unusual
insofar as it originated from the ideas and creativity of Jaguar employees.
Some staff worked on innovative and original projects outside of the scope of
routine commercial considerations. A working group called "The Saturday
Club" brought about the creation of a "concept car", which was
presented at the British Motor Show in 1988, generating critical public
acclaim. From this initial developmental work, the Jaguar XJ 220 emerged, with
the release of the first production vehicle in 1991. Lightweight, and an
extremely powerful car, it had the performance characteristics of a truly
"top sports car” and was recognizable for its aerodynamic design and
extremely modern lines for the period. International rock stars and wealthy
businessmen were keen buyers of this prestigious vehicle.
