Heyhuub,the crucial difference of the time of this Jaguar for the others here
the driver,most of times Sport Auto have ....
Look too Honda NSX-R/Kurosawa e a new time of a New Skyline GT-R
(sorry the english)
Have done professional drivers...
This lap is a full lap, if compared to the other times here you could use a time
6 seconds faster, 7.40 would be comparable to the other cars that only ran 20,6
km. Pretty impressive considering the age of that car!!!

I have also read a test with 0-200 in 10.6 seconds.
But its not on the web, so I have no proof.
But we have all seen it beat the Pagani Zonda at Top Gear, and it does 0-200 in
11,2.....
This lap time was done on standard road tires: Bridgestone Expedia 5.01
255/45ZR17-front,345/35ZR18-rear.
Top speed is wrong!It can do 212.3 mph(341.7 km/h) and it can hit 223 mph
(359km/h) only whit removed catalytic converters!
Yes.If you want,check this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNDzQPzd1aQ It is the
official promotional video,maded during car test on Nordschleife.John Nielsen
set this time...by the way,he was the main test driver for XJ220 program.
interesting question is now how Nissan come to the idea to claim Ring production
car lap records with their R33 and R34 GT-R´s after this existing laptime which
is better than any R33 or R34 ever laptime
i think the XJ220's time of 7:46 was dn in 2000 somthing, while the R33 was set
in the 90's..i think? but considering the Jag was br in the 90's the time shold
go to it.
anonymous don´t think so the guys were wearing typical late 80´s early 90´s
fashion... and why should Jaguar do a promotion video for a car out of
production in 2000...thats completely pointless
The weight of the car is all wrong, the XJ220 weighed only 1,375KG (not 1,555kg)
as per the Autocar official road test in the early 90's so the power to weight
should be 394BHP per ton. I agree with the other comments, it was a longer
circuit and with modern tyre tech you could lose about 16 seconds off the
laptime for nowdays.
Plus the Nordy lap time was definatley in the early 90's and not 2000.
