With the XJ220 the odds have always been more cars than buyers.

True, I guess, but only because of the price (creeping up swiftly).
I mean, wouldn't you, if you had the money? I would buy 5 of these instead of 1 Bugatti Veyron. It's just so damned pretty. Actually I would buy 4 and 1 XJ13 |
I'm not sure I'd call it pretty, but it's growing on me. I am surprised that it held the Nurburgring lap time record for so long, and is still amongst the fastest cars to go around it!
I remember when I was about 8 years old, my parents bought me an XJ220 diecast model. Perhaps that was the beginning of it all??? I wonder if I still have that thing--it's probably all beat up! |

Actually I would buy 4 and 1 XJ13 The 220 is certainly an affordable (?) way to get into the supercar game. I've had the opportunity of spending time behind the wheel of one. It's not exactly a pleasure cruise.....but I guess supercars aren't really supposed to be. Cheers DD |
I don't know when but remember seeing a gray '94 XJ220 less than 200 grand on ebay , for the price the car was bargain :icon_party: :icon_dance-tap:
Well, those era cars aren't pleasure to drive same goes for F40 . The XJ220 lacked some cool accessories as well , for safety note no ABS :icon_smash: Pierre Henry Raphanel in his own word (speaking of Bugatti Veyron ) says a grandma drove this car and she was driving like I am driving now :icon_munching: Actually, it should be pleasure to drive a Veyron because you would not feel tiredness nor wrestle the car as opposed to these followings XJ220, Diablo,F40 Same era cars , may be these cars were last representatives of an era and it is not a coincidence why these were anything but pleasure to drive Back to the main course , I would prefer XJ220 over Veyron it's a legendary car whereas Veyron is a testimony of what german engineers can do with lots of gadgets , why I am saying this you even need a special key to exceed 360 km/h lol XJ220 may not be a a proper car for your daily commute but Veyron should be |
The Veyron is more docile, yes.
Yes, the 220 is from a different era when supercars were limited use monsters and that was part of the appeal. Nowdays you can go to a (let's say) Chevy dealer and buy a Corvette which nearly matches the performance and is much more livable and enjoyable, IMHO. It's really not even fair to compare 20-22 y/o supercars to today's offereings, I reckon. Technology has changed. Cheers DD |
