OVERVIEW
Jaguar XJ220 was the fastest production car in the mid nineties. In January of 1993 Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) and Jaguar Sport launched the XJ220C to compete in the GT class of FIA motor sport.At the same time they announced the XJ220S a limited production road going version to comply with homologation requirements.It was easily the most radical supercar in Britain.
Although the standard XJ220 was clothed in a lightweight aluminum body.TWR's version replaced every panel, expect the doors with carbon fiber.In doing so they added a front splitter wider sills and an adjustable rear spoiler that gave the car an imposing edge and made the standard XJ220 look docile and smooth.

Overhauled out to 680 bhp TWR cranked the twin turbo V6 to its limits.Combined with a weight reduction that removed the stereo,air conditioning and heavy seats so result is the car could accelerate up to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and reach 217 mph.
Only nine TWR XJ220s were completed and six of these were made as road going S models.Almost all of the six cars have changed colors at least once and many made it over to America after Vik Keuylian of Keuylian Motorcars imported several sports cars.
