The Jaguar XJ220 is a supercar that often gets unfairly left out of the conversation of all-time greatest cars. This is because the XJ220 arrived at a time when the Porsche 959 and Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] F40 had already captured the hearts and minds of auto-loving folks around the globe and McLaren was about to drop its F1. Jaguar also made the mistake of promising the car with a V-12 and then launching it with a V-6. Still, it's a car that was king of the production car overall speed title. Guinness recognized it thusly thanks to its 217.1 mph top speed, which kept the Jag in this place until...

It’s hard to imagine but not that long ago Jaguar laid claim to building the world’s fastest production car with its XJ220 supercar, which during the early 1990s was speed king until it was knocked off its throne by the McLaren F1. The car featured a turbocharged mid-mounted V6 developing 549hp (409kW) and was capable of reaching a top speed of 217mph (350km/h). The idea of first building the car arose after a team of Jaguar enthusiasts envisaged developing a new supercar that could beat the Ferraris and Porsches of the time – most notably the F40 and 959 models. The design...
