For a car that doesn’t exist, Jaguar’s XJ220 looks amazing. Though still a rumor, the Brits are expected to revive their amazing sports car (that ruled from 1992 to 1994) and it may look like the renderings in here. With some wide air intakes that dominate the front, a sleek oval grille and stylish ultra-efficient LED headlamps, Jaguar XJ220 is expected to “kill” Audi’s R8 and if anyone’s interested, we think they have a shot. Under the hood, there’s a 503-horsepower, supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine from the XFR model, that goes naught to 60mph in less than four seconds and tops at 230mph. It’s an amazing design so we can only hope we’ll get this beauty running on our streets, but that looks like an expensive ride. Isn’t it? [via AutoExpress]
Man if this thing doesn’t end up in a James ond movie there is something wrong. I just hope and pray that they are smart enough to use a stunt double if the card needs to be driven off a cliff or anything crazy as it would be a huge waste to have such a awesome vehicle ruins as a stunt prop.

I can see why you’d say that, the swooping roof arch and wheels in the far corners give it that audi-esque profile. But credit where credits due, this car smacks of an elegance audi can only dream of! Hats off jaguar- we as a nation may be eroding under recession but our design heritage is still untouchable. RULE BRITANNIA!

Car Tuning
now this car looks lovely! It would be a new approach to the Jag style but they will definitely get many requests if they plan to design a car like this one.
