The XJ220 was dreamed up by Jaguar's chief designer, Jim Randle. Unlike other supercars, the XJ220 was actually a spare time project - Jaguar engineers (secretly at first) started designing and building the car on the weekends. The XJ220 Concept first appeared at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Show and featured a V12, unlike the twin-turbo V6 that was in the production car. Body panels for the XJ220 were made from bonded-aluminum honeycomb. Only 350 XJ220s were ever built.
