The Jaguar XJ 220 became famous for its top speed among mass-produced cars, reaching 350 km/h, a record that was maintained from 1992 to 1994. The creation of the XJ220 is unusual because it stemmed from the ideas and creativity of Jaguar employees. Some staff members worked on innovative and original projects outside the realm of daily commercial assessments. A working group called "The Saturday Club" led to the creation of a "concept car," which was presented at the UK Motor Show in 1988, winning public recognition. From this initial development work emerged the Jaguar XJ 220, with the release of the first production vehicle in 1991. Lightweight and extremely powerful, it had the performance of a truly "high-performance sports car" and was recognized for its aerodynamic design and extremely modern lines of the period. International rock stars and wealthy entrepreneurs were eager buyers of this prestigious vehicle.
