The Complete History Of The Jaguar XJ220 - Garage Dreams
The Jaguar XJ220 was a car that was meant to set a new standard in motoring, but ultimately fell short of the lofty heights that the British manufacturer aimed for. While the XJ220 may have not hit the mark the company wanted it to, you would have to go back to the XK120 40 years ... Read more

Xj220 / F40 / Mclaren F1
I hope PD will also add in a future the Porsche 959 to complète the 90's supercars line-up

Add the EB110 and 959, and you've pretty much all the late 80's, early 90's supercars.
Just a few oddballs like the OX-99-11, which was well ahead of it's time.

Yamaha's OX99-11 Was a Twelve-Cylinder, Tandem-Seat F1 Car for the Street
This supercar's engine revved to 10,000 rpm, and its chassis came from F1.

Apart from that the F40 and 959 came out in the 80's and are therefore 80's supercars?

Jaguar XJ220 Appears in Gran Turismo Presentation by Kazunori Yamauchi
The Jaguar XJ220, once the fastest production car in the world, has been spotted in some behind-the-scenes images from a recent Polyphony Digital studio tour, seemingly scanned in Gran Turismo 7-level detail...

This thing's gonna be very spicy to drive tuned up, I can see it hitting the 800-900 HP range. Let's just hope its Hagerty price is more sensible than the F1's absurd 20 million.

A Jaguar XJ220 supercar that's done just 16 miles is likely to sell for a world-record price. This is the story of the big cat.

...Thank God. I believe that might actually be even cheaper than it was in the old GT games!around 500k

Fun fact, TWR were developing and building both at the same time (out of the shared JaguarSport facility) and the story goes that they had to hide the XJR-15 development cars and under no circumstances fire them up while XJ220 customers were visiting out of fear they'd see or - very obviously - hear the V12 and cancel the XJ220 order, given the number of already cancelled orders when the production model was revealed as a V6TT RWD car instead of a V12 AWD & AWS car...

Thanks. I am aware of that fact. Seems like Jaguar top brass has never had any real faith in top of the range, halo/super cars.
Even this C-X75, which was originally intended for production, was instead reduced to 5 working prototypes:
At the very least, the design cues from the C-X75 did influence the look of the first generation production F-Type.

I'm just looking forward to the potential scenario of:
- Hearing it without a pitched down Toyota GT-One Engine sample it had since GT2
- Hopefully recreating a certain car (Well, 2 cars technically if its even possible)
Have to wonder how much of the player base will even remember this being a thing. The amount of the more niche liveries or series that haven't been created despite the cars being present is kinda shocking.
Those certainly won't be the liveries I'm gonna be recreating if I can get GT7 before then

Glad to know this car is probably in the works.
Since GT2 that it has been a car with a bit of a fanbase by itself, and was one of the icons of the early 90's supercars. If PD adds the 959 and the EB110, we'll have all of those tasty late-80s/early-90s poster supercars (alongside F1 and F40).
As expected, yeah, I don't find the rear of this car to be very appealing, but other than that? It's beautiful. As far as prices go, the early Gran Turismos already had it at more or less the price it's supposed to have, between 500-700k.

My dad gave me a 1:18 scale model of the XJ220 as a Christmas present like 30 years ago. I still remember unwrapping the gift and thinking it looked weirder than good. I must have been 5 years old and the Ferrari F40 was everything back then. It took me around 20 years to start appreciating the XJ220 design despite glancing at the scale model every so often. I wouldn’t mind seeing it in GT7 soon.
