The second board by the car quoted 300 kp/h. It also quoted the total number as 50, so I don't know if 300 is believeable enough.

How much power was the V12 producing? And what about the weight?

Thanks. Impressive 0-60 time by the way... That's what the XJ220 should have been...

No problem. I can't verify any of the information though, and the internet isn't always a very truthful place.

If it is true, then indeed, it's a blistering time. I had the pleasure of being in a room with both the XJ220 and this car, and this car held my attention over any other car in the room.

Can anyone confirm that only 15 were made? It's what I was told by the curater at the exhibit, but I can't verify it. It's either 15 or 50, and I'd like to know which one...

[DesmoRob]

sure, but how far in excess.....

A car of this calibre should be far in excess of 260. 260 sounds embarrassing.

Some cars aren't geared for top speed...
