The mid-engine XJ220 concept was first shown as a non-running prototype at England's Birmingham Motor Show in 1988. The car began life as a cost-no-object one-off by Jaguar's engineers, and it later became a limited production machine by Tom Walkinshaw's Jaguarsport racing operation. The prototype, which featured a detuned version of the TWR 48-valve Jaguar racing V-12 with all-wheel drive, was deemed too large, and the project was recast with a fuel-injected, four-cam, 24-valve, twin-turbocharged V-6 producing 542 horsepower. It attracted a lot of attention, and reportedly, Jaguar received 1,200 deposits for an anticipated production run of just 350 cars.
