What If Jaguar Made a Production 200 MPH Car?
We’ve all seen the 225 mile per hour Jaguar XF-R tested in Utah, but what if the Jag logo was stamped on a production model car which could reach 200 mph? Autoweek speculated about such a vehicle, with a similar base as a XJ220. According to AutoWeek, these claims are nothing more than a pie in the sky that will probably never be reached. But what if they could?
According to World Car Fans: Under the rear, glass-paneled bonnet, will likely come some modified version of the 5.0 liter supercharged V8, which was last seen sporting 503 hp in the recently unveiled XFR. The XE should boogie to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds, that is, if it is to be competitive with supercars such as the R8. Top speed will be in the range of 200 mph (320 km/h)
First, we would need a highway in the United States with the same non-restrictions as Germany’s Autobahn. Of course, that will never happen. A couple of wimps get into accidents and kill a couple other people and the rest of us speed freaks can’t have any fun! Driver’s Ed classes would need special fast driving lessons, which would only be available to people who could afford a Jag to keep down on class overflow. Yet, it looks as though a 200 mph vehicle will not be available to the general public in th form of a Jag. Of course, the company said they were not producing a vehicle, they never said they couldn’t.
