The XJ220 is one of my favourite cars, so this news excites me.

Similar story for me, my dad got me a bluish purple 1:18 XJ220 and my twin brother a green Mclaren F1 maybe 25 or so years ago. Being young I thought the two cars looked the same, so I always had a soft spot for the car my whole life. Saw a real XJ220 this year in the same color as that model I had as a kid, was a good moment.

My all-time favorite car. Has been since playing NFS II as a kid. One of the most beautiful cars ever designed. Finally, the wait might almost be over for being able to drive it in Gran Turismo in all its glory.

As the owner of a Jaguar XFR I DEMAND this car be added to the game immediately.

Not good enough. Where is (insert iconic GT car here), or (insert any sports car/supercar released in the last 5 years), or even (insert niche meme car that will get shelved after a minute of driving)? COME ON POLYPHONY!

My favourite car of all time, will love to see it beautifully modelled! and it won't have the stupid black wheel nuts of the Forza models

Hoping it comes this month
can't wait to create the LM edition and hopefully the XJ220S if they do the same as with the F40 by including the Competition versions bumpers and spoilers. Would also love for them to do what they did to the Ford sierra by moving the racing exhaust in the same place and style as the racecar, the XJ220C had the exhaust in similar placement to the XJR-9.

To you truly just say the escort cosworth is good looking but the XJ220 isn't? Im holding in laughter. Literally one of the ugliest sports cars ever, and you think it looks good and even better than the XJ220?
Unless I'm mistaking what you mean by cozza.
Also, the viper was my favorite car as a kid, but better looking than the xj220? No, not even close.

I’m not white knighting, but it’s everyone’s opinion though. Maybe some people don’t like certain eras of super car or certain designs. The X220 have large overhangs, by design of course. Maybe that’s a feature some people feel look out of proportion.
The Cosworth can appeal to people more, due to its proportions. Maybe better looking because it looks tighter, masculine, tougher, than soft and flowing. I don’t know, but people see car designs differently, for whatever reason. Being genuine, they don’t have to feel the same as a majority. Just saying.

As I said, it was 9 year old me who had a Cosworth poster (mainly because there was one in the village and it was so much cooler than all the other cars). I do still like it.
As for the Jag, to me the proportions are wrong, it’s too big, I prefer the F1. A personal opinion, I’m sure we’re still allowed those and don’t have to conform to the hive. I’ll still buy and drive it if it turns up in-game.
The Viper was and still is my dream car. One day it’ll be mine.

It's about time we get the XJ220 in all it's glory. Kaz and his "small indie company" have been getting away with murder for years by using the model they created for GT3 all the way to GT6.
4 freaking games. 2 different consoles. 12 years between it's 1st and last apperance. And the XJ220 isn't the only car that has "suffered" from this.
I say it's time to do it Kaz, give us this big ol' cat already. Show us a little bit of love, your pockets and your bosses pockets are not empty.

XJ220 is too long on too short of a wheelbase. The concept car didn't have that problem, but when they ditched the V12 they (for whatever reason) decided to shorten the wheelbase primarily by moving the front wheels back and in the process disrupting the flowing line from the front end through the windscreen.

By what metric ? With few exceptions they all drove like pigs / were death traps.

A 30 year span is also a long time to claim as an "age" of a type of automobile. I don't see any connective tissue between, say, the 959 and the Carrera GT.
Okay?

Agreed. Overall, the 80's were dark times for cars.

It's a nostalgia glasses thing, you wouldn't understand otherwise.

The Ferrari F40 didn't drive like a pig.

Supercars were made to kill you that was their charm.
Not to mention you had the Mclaren F1 which set the standard.

And the F50 either, or the McLaren F1, or the Jaguar XJR-15
