@@bx16v That is one aspect. But turbo is worse for reliability, that's why. For V12 less strain on each piston, because the force is more distributed. Make a high capacity V12 and you have big pistons with less strain on each of them. As opposite, make a small engine, one piston, big power. That piston (and cylinder and other parts) is doing all work, it captures all punishment. But in the end what matters is of course how well the engine is made. Because you can make a crap V12 or a crap V6.
What an era! I was living in Italy at the time when the F40 was released, then came the Porsche 959 and the Jag XJ 220. Who the hell wants to see EV cars today that drive themselves and quiet as a mouse? Its like going to a rock concert with earbuds...not for me! Nothing like the pure grunt and power of these classic cars.
@@pinkithecat9101 looks similar (albeit smoother and ultimately maybe even more beautiful) and has even more power, but it's nowhere near as sharp or raw as the F40.
Only the F40 was a late 80's pioneer of 200mph. It was produced and sold starting in 1987. The XJ220 was just a concept in 1988 and was not introduced for sale until 1992. Instead of the F40, the direct competitor to the XJ220 was the Bugatti EB110 GT and then the Super Sport. The F40 itself was actually Italy's brute force answer to the German technological marvel, that was the Porsche 959.
The fact that Freddie is rationalising the Jag's name with the 812 Superfast tells you everything you need to know about the misery Chris has to put up with.
eh dont look very good to me, i would rather have the jag, it looks more refine its faster and still has teh confort and luxury on it while the ferrari only has plastic bad siting position and its all cramp, also it looks cheap
I've unloaded a Jaguar XJ220 from an airplane before. I dunno where it was going, but it was beautiful, I never handled anything with so much care in my entire life.
Bugatti’s EB110 4 wheel drive and a heavy quad turbo V12 lead to drive train losses and thermal challenges. With both solutions being heavy on top of that. Obviously there is beauty in the technical achievement and the complexity, Especially back in the day. The recipe Jaguar went for with the group B derived turbo V6, RWD was, with regard to results, more promising and ultimately worth it.
@@stephanvelines7006 Except the XJ220 became a frankencar with no direction. It's a massive sleek grand tourer. But it doesnt even have a V12 engine. It's got raw ingredients but tries to make it soft. The EB110 was almost as fast, but with a much cooler V12 engine and awd. The SS version was just better in every way even being lighter than the XJ220
^ Nope. The EB110 struggled to reach its recorded speed, even after Bugatti took the wing mirrors off. The XJ220 could reach 223mph with minimal fuss, and in 680hp XJ220S form top 230mph. Not bad for half the cylinders and turbo's :D . (and less than half the Turbo Lag) Plus: She humiliated the V12 Pagani Zonda *twice* in 1/4 mile drag races; due to having vastly more torque and groundforce. I think that's 3 to NIL in the XJ220's vs Italian competition sphere. (though not the first time that Jaguar produced a car that left an Italian car maker stumped for a response)
0:20 “Haven’t driven one of these for a while!” Yeah, I relate brother. I haven’t driven an F-40 in (enter any measurable value of time here) either. Guess I’ll have to run over to my local CarMax, pick one up and drive it for the seven day trial period before returning it. First World Problems can be rough.
@@ambergris5705 nah. I've saw two laFerrari in real life and they don't have anywhere near the visual or aural impact of an F40. It looked particularly crap in red
The F40 could barely drive... the 959 you could drive every day and then some. Comparing the F40 to the 959 is like comparing a typewriter to a MacBook pro and complaining about the color of the MacBook. It's superior in every way and initially just 2 mph slower. But 959's grew quicker, F40's just got slower.
The F40 is just the most timeless and legendary car, I have seen a few at shows, close up, they still look like spaceships from the future, especially with the front and rear panels open, nothing else comes close for a sense of being special and sheer presence, you hear people say "There's an F40 over there" and you have to go look, virtually no other car can illicit this kind of reaction.
It’s manic. To start the car, you insert this key that looks like it folds in two, then you depress a squishy rubber button to the right of the wheel, while pushing in the brake and clutch pedals, which both feel lightly sprung under the feet and make a noticeable “click” sound once they reach the end of their travel. At idle, the car feels lumpy and sounds almost (from the cabin anyways) like a muscular American V8 idling. Once you give it some gas and ease out the surprisingly light clutch, it jutters forward (not so smoothly) and the wine of the gearbox as well as the change-in-pitch of the engine starts. The engine becomes surprisingly smooth, but not very torquey up until about 3600RPM or so, with the only hint at power being the huuuuge “ssshhhhh” sound of the turbos and the wastegate “pash” every time you upshift. Every upshift brings out the clicks of the shifter gate as well as the clicks of the pedals. Past 3600RPM the car becomes manic, and you hear more turbo sound than you do engine sound, and the shift from redline brings an immense “WAPASH” from behind you. The suspension is immensely stiff, but not jarringly so - it feels compliant. The thing you notice most is the sound of every tiny little rock and pebble being spat up by the wheels hitting the underside of the car, as the carbon fibre and the car having no sound-shielding really work in tandem with the engine, turbos, gearbox and little “snick snick” sounds of everything else to make the symphony of noises quite loud and visceral. If you experience it once (as I did - only once), it’ll remain an experience that you never forget, for as long as you live.
4:15 a GROUP B metro!!! for the love of god! it's 2021 and they still say this things? it wasn't a V6 from a normal metro, it was the engine from a GROUP B metro!! it was specifically designed for that rally car,and they added turbos when they put it in the XJ220 (and also increasing the displacement)
I like Chris's quote from the excellent F40/50 comparison he did. While sampling the F40's power, he said.... ''What did they (the other manufactures) think when they released this thing? they must have thought, we might as well pack up and go home''
F40 I still love it just as much or more than I did when I had honor of standing next to one at a dyno in the early 90’s. I’ve only seen one in person one time since then.
I like Freddie on top gear. You can tell he loves cars and that's what top gear was all about. You can keep the friendly banter because that's a bit too fake but Chris and Freddie just talking about 2 legendary motors is great tv
huge empty engine bay. heavy car. broken promises. cancelled pre-orders. looks good though. it needs a modern twin turbo ford V6 swapped in but then the value would go down. the jag is not so good at tight corners and low speeds so it has a purpose as a big long car.
"Doesn't get much better than this" Yes it does, The F-40. Only a (clueless) Brit would even try to argue the Jag is better than the Ferrari. Harris knows his stuff.
Was all going well feels like old top gear until Flintoff turns up. Lovvies, twirlys unite lol. And ruins what could have heen a great piece of viewing.

F40 I still love it just as much or more than I did when I had honor of standing next to one at a dyno in the early 90’s. I’ve only seen one in person one time since then.
The F40 is the quintessential "modern-ish" Ferrari in my books!
The video was so enjoyable until 2:39.
I kinda makes me crazy that the F40 doesn’t have tilt steering lol
I like Freddie on top gear. You can tell he loves cars and that's what top gear was all about. You can keep the friendly banter because that's a bit too fake but Chris and Freddie just talking about 2 legendary motors is great tv
Oh, how much fun this would have been with Jeremy and company...
Both of these cars are breathtakingly beautiful.
There’s NO WAY I’d choose the Jag over the F40
huge empty engine bay. heavy car. broken promises. cancelled pre-orders. looks good though. it needs a modern twin turbo ford V6 swapped in but then the value would go down. the jag is not so good at tight corners and low speeds so it has a purpose as a big long car.
I’ll take a 959, thank you very much!
Am i the only one who agrees with Freddie?
"Doesn't get much better than this"
Yes it does,
The F-40.
Only a (clueless) Brit would even try to argue the Jag is better than the Ferrari.
Harris knows his stuff.
Ozil is actually Enzo...did u know?
Enzo Ferrari remastered

I've seen that actual Jag 'in the flesh' as it were and it is absolutely gorgeous
The look on the Jag still looks incredible. The design is simply flawless and it looks like a concept car for todays motorshows.
the one that you put as the thumbnail is always the winner
Jeremy Clarkson,James May, Richard Hammond this Top Gear
Jaguar xj220 is charming , But F40 is pure Love and passion ❤😍
Harris makes Flintoff sound like a clown
Yup, he sounds ass
Flintoff can sound like clown on his own. He doesn't need any help
Hahaha.. i was thinking the same 😊
Yh I can't stand Freddie
I thought he was pretty good... Oh well 🤷🏽♂️
Fiat called it the Fiat 500. That doesn't mean it does 500mph
I'd still rather have the 959... much more car in every way.
XJ220 for me. It's a better looking car and a lot more rare as well. (:
Was all going well feels like old top gear until Flintoff turns up.
Lovvies, twirlys unite lol.
And ruins what could have heen a great piece of viewing.
