Jaguar XJ220 '92

There are very few production cars that can claim to have been born out of a spare-time project, but the Jaguar XJ220 is the most famous of all. Jaguars chief engineer, Jim Randle, dreamt up the idea of creating the ultimate supercar on Christmas and fired up enough enthusiasm with colleagues to start a ’Saturday club’ to work on the project. At first not even the Jaguar board knew about the secret tinkering going at its Engineering Department at Whitley in the West Midlands of Britain. When it did find out, the enthusiasm bubbled over, and the new XJ220 was wheeled out at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Sow as an official Jaguar concept car. The prototype XJ220 was an immense beast, mainly because it had to be accomodated around TWR racing components and Jaguars massive V-Twelve engine mounted in a central position. Still, Keith Helfets aluminium bodywork design was a sublime piece of sculpture.

At one point in time, the Jaguar XJ220 was considered the king of the road and ended up being the measuring stick for how supercars were built. Before the venerable McLaren F1 hit the scene and set the bar to a whole new level, the XJ220 was the fastest production car on the planet.

When the Jaguar XJ220 was first introduced at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Show, the world was predictably awestruck at the car that could do things no other car on the planet was capable. Featuring an exterior that looks nothing like what Jaguar was accustomed to producing at the time, the XJ220 was an immense beast, having to accommodate a number of TWR racing components and a bodywork that featured an aerospace-type bonded-aluminum honeycomb with Group C racing-inspired aerodynamics.

Nevertheless, the bodywork design of the XJ220 was a wondrous piece of work that spurred a new generation of sleek and aggressively-designed vehicles.

Despite being older than a lot of supercars rolling around the streets these days, the Jaguar XJ220 is still one of the fastest of the lot, ranking seventh in the list of fastest production cars in the world. It’s got a 3,498cc 24-valve twin turbo V6 engine with 542 hp and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission, a four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel vented disc brakes.

It can run from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 350 km/h.

ATS Sport 490 Stradale '14
ATS Sport 490 Stradale '14.jpg
In recent decades we witnessed the rebirth of many brands that have been disbanded more than 50 years ago. Bugatti and Maybach are the most well-known examples, but smaller ventures such as ATS (Automobili Turismo e Sport) have returned under new ownership as well. The latter was established by former Ferrari employees Carlo Chiti and Giotto Bizzarrini as a sports car constructor and racing team in 1963. ATS disappeared in 1965 and returned in 2012 with a new lineup of sports cars. After launching the Sport 1000 in 2012 and its updated Sport sibling in 2014, ATS is introducing the 490 Stradale.

As the name suggests, the 490 Stradale is a road-legal version of the company’s entry-level race car, and the second modern-day road-going ATS after the retro-styled 300 Leggera. Although eligible for road use, the 490 Stradale is very similar to its race-spec sibling, with the two sharing the same body and most of their internals. It’s not the most beautiful or the powerful sports car ever built, but ATS’ objective was to build a no-nonsense racer for the road. Needless to say, it succeeded, as the 490 Stradale is as fast as a Ferrari.

Compared to the race-bred ATS Sport, the 490 Stradale comes with mild visual updates. Body upgrades are actually limited to features required to register the vehicle for legal road use, and include front and rear full light kits a new set of wheels and a tow-hook delete. Granted, the new light units are rather basic and do not help improve the ATS Sport ATS Sport’s radical appearance, but they will help enthusiasts register the Stradale for road use in certain markets. The wheels, on the other hand, are very similar to those seen on the race car, but the rim design is a tad simpler.

As for the Martini colors adorning the example shown, the livery is not offered as a standard feature. However, the car’s white body is the perfect base for any historic livery that may tickle your fancy.

The car’s cockpit has been enhanced as well, but don’t expect anything fancy. The 490 Stradale’s interior remains as stripped out as the ATS Sport’s, with only a hand-brake lever added as new gear. Customers will also be able to drive the car backward thanks to a new reverse gear. Other than that, the 490 Stradale is equipped with the basic gear you need at the track, such as lightweight seats with multi-point harnesses, a fire extinguisher, and a roll cage.

Unlike the ATS Sport, the 490 Stradale comes with only one engine. The company picked the mid-range, 1.4-liter four-banger that motivates the race car and detuned it to deliver 235 horsepower.

Its lightning-fast acceleration is partly thanks to the vehicle’s low curb weight, which sits at only 499 kg. This makes the 490 Stradale one of the lightest road-legal vehicles you can buy nowadays.

Albeit a street-legal vehicle, the 490 Stradale is always ready to hit the track. The vehicle is fully equipped with anything you need for a safe and fun-filled weekend at the race course, but ATS ATS is providing further options if you’re looking to take things up a notch. Track-day upgrades include TTX Ohlins dampers for improved cornering and a Tarox 280 brake kit to come to a halt a little bit quicker. A 2.2-to-1 ratio steering rack and Avon CR500 semi-slick tires have their own check boxes on the options list.
