The final production version, developed in partnership with Jaguar Sport and Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR), featured a lighter, mid-engine layout and a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 based on Jaguar\u2019s XJR-11 race car. Delivering 542 horsepower, the Jaguar XJ220 supercar sprinted from 0\u201360 mph in just 3.7 seconds and set a N\u00fcrburgring production car lap record in its prime.<\/p>\n<p>The example now offered \u2013\u00a0a 1993 Jaguar XJ220 in Le Mans Blue over Smoke Grey leather \u2013 is among the most desirable later-series cars, according to the XJ220 registry. Built in March 1994 and officially delivered to a UK dealer in 1998, the car was imported to the U.S. in 2004 by collector Tim Hoiles. It has since passed through two additional collectors and spent time on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum.<\/p>\n<p>Now being sold by Graham Rahal Performance in Zionsville, Indiana, this XJ220 shows only 2,890 kilometers (1,796 miles).\u00a0It includes documentation of a recent transmission-out dry-ice detailing, a clean CARFAX, and a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate in transit.<\/p>\n<p>With fewer than 300 Jaguar XJ220s ever built, this car stands as a rare investment-grade classic. Revered as the first true hypercar, this Le Mans Blue example represents an extraordinary opportunity for serious collectors of vintage Jaguars, classic supercars, and investment-grade automobiles.
