That the Jaguar XJR-15 is a thing that exists. It’s the 6.0L V12 midengine supercar that the XJ220 always wanted to be.

Iirc it started life as a racer. And would swap ends at the drop of a hat. And make you deaf in the process.

Clarkson had it in one of his videos from the 90's. Can’t find a link.

The XJ220 has a higher top speed and faster claimed 0-60, though, so I’m not sure it would want to trade places.

And not as loud or deadly as the XJR-15

One resides in Nashville. It’s owned by Jas Dhillon (@jasdhillon67 on instagram), who also owns a CGT, one of six XJ220Ss in existence, and a Ruf CTR2, among other things. It was basically what everyone thought the XJ220 would be but wasn’t. Super cool cars.

His XJ220s was one of the TWR ones right?

I think all the XJ220Ss were heavily modified by TWR, but I believe TWR was heavily involved in the development of the standard XJ220.

ETA: per WIkipedia, the XJ220 and the XJR-15 were both engineered by JaguarSport, a joint venture between TWR and Jaguar. The S was further developed by TWR.

It was in The Most Outrageous Jeremy Clarkson Video In the World... Ever! but there aren’t any working links in my quick search.

That’s it. Like I said... I couldn’t find any either. I have a copy but that’s obviously no good :)
