com/gp/ email protected /28pNcb 15 miles! - new condition! 281 models produced by Jaguar from 1992 to 1994 Includes service records, owner's handbook, tool kit, first aid kit, parts and service manuals During the 1980's and early 90's, car manufacturers were exploring new concepts, pushing the technology of their cars into a new era, with the goal of producing the fastest and most powerful car they could create.
The era of the supercar was born, and Jaguar wanted to lead the way, just as it had done with its C-Type three decades earlier.
In the 1980's, Jaguar's chief engineer, Jim Randle, as part of an informal group called The Saturday Club, began work on a concept car, code-named XJ220, which if put into production, could compete in a potential new Group B racing category competing against the likes of Ferrari's F40 and the Porsche 959.
While seemingly the obvious choice, the Jaguar 6.
2-litre V12 had been judged too difficult to get past emissions regulations, so in its place was chosen a Tom Walkinshaw developed 3.
5 litre V6 as used in the Group C XJR-10/11 racers, fitted with twin Garrett T3 turbochargers, generating 542 horsepower and 476 lb?ft of torque.
The engine was the first V6 in Jaguar's history, a derivation from the Cosworth DFV Formula 1 engine, originally designed by David Wood for the Austin Metro 6R4 rally car.
It was also the first Jaguar engine to use forced induction.
In spite of the smaller displacement, it produced more power than the V12, and offered improved handling by being set lower and more centrally in the car.
Constructed on October 26th 1993, this XJ220 is number 223 of a approximately 281 handmade cars.
It was then ordered and delivered to JaguarSport Limited in Oxon, England.
Hartmut Fl?ter was a distributor and dealer for Kawasaki Motorcycles in Sweden.
His successful business had allowed him to collect several iconic Kawasaki bikes and other fast machines.
The XJ220 seemed like the perfect addition to his collection based on the top speed, and design of this unique automobile.
After ordering his XJ220 in England, the Jaguar was delivered in December 16, 1993 to the dealership and dispatched to the customer in January 27th,1994.
Mr.
Fl?ter left the car there until he was able to bring it to Switzerland in December 23rd, 1996.
The Jaguar would then have been parked in his residence in Lugano Switzerland over the next 2 years.
In September 14th, 1998, Mr.
Fl?ter would obtain a permit from the Swiss department of transportation that would allow him to test drive the XJ220 to obtain registration.
After the test drive with the XJ220, Mr.
Fl?ter would pass down the care of the car to Emil Frey in an exhibition where it was parked and never drive.
17 years later, Mr.
Fl?ter sold the car to Mr.
Zurich in October 29, 2015.
The new owner would take possession of the car and bring it to Lutziger Classic Cars.
During his ownership, Mr.
Zurich would never drive, or register the XJ220.
In 2016 the Jaguar was sold to a collector in Germany, who was not able to ship the car due to customs in their home country.
6 years later, the car was still located at the Lutziger Classic Cars facility, until being sold and imported to Bruce Canepa in December of 2021.
A stunning example! Absolutely new condition! Beyond Words! said Bruce Canepa after the XJ220 arrived to the facility and was inspected.
The XJ220 went under the Canepa Difference process.
With this XJ220 being as new condition, the car was cleaned from top to bottom and reflected the stunning condition of this car.
The XJ220 was the first road car to exploit under-body airflow and venturi technology to generate a downforce of around 3000 lb for high-speed stability.
It utilized a Group C suspension configuration, leading to handling described by Autocar as the finest handling supercar we have ever driven.
Such is its damping that supercars we previously considered superlatively well-controlled over difficult roads now seem flawed and spongy after the Jaguar.
This expertly cared-for XJ220 would make a superb complement to any collection of Jaguars, or modern supercars.
It is sure to find acclaim events, while continuing to leave supercar aficionados breathless.
