The Jaguar XJ220 by Pininfarina, owned by the Sultan of Brunei, obviously.

This subreddit should be called r/sultanofbruneiscars at this point

It's amazing how many cars were ordered and companies that stayed afloat because of him.

Dude never drove any of these 1 off cars either. He just locked them away from sight and let them rot.

I wonder where his motivation for this came from, psychologically. Did he get off on being able to order whole companies to retool factories just for him, was it receiving the car and oogling over it? Obviously it didn't come from actually driving the cars.

To own something that nobody else has.

It could've even been some form of patronage maybe.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One of these lives in my town of Tucson. I'm not sure who the owner is.

You're talking about the regular XJ220. This one is a one-off made just for the Sultan of Brunei.

[-]

TucsonTank@reddit

Oh, my mistake.

It’s definitely a unique take on the XJ220, but I don’t think Jaguar even wants to acknowledge this.

TurboDeez_Nuts_54@reddit (OP)

Jaguar doesn't even want to acknowledge their whole history now that they rebranded themselves

I think I prefer the standard XJ220, tbh

I remember back in the day pulling off some shit in OG Gran Turismo to unlock the XJ220. Good tines. My buddy's jaw hit the floor when he saw that I unlocked it.

I think the rear lights, etc looks a lot nicer than the normal 220, but the front? Nah.

[-]

Katsu_Vohlakari@reddit

Can't say I like it better than the original XJ but the rear kinda has NSX vibes.

[-]

Good_Refrigerator152@reddit

I was just going to say that it looks like their version of the NSX

[-]

ScissorNightRam@reddit

Interior looks a step up from the original

[-]

TheMauveHand@reddit

I wouldn't call it massive... The original looks like a period Ford, this one looks like a period Fiat.

[-]

not-posting-anything@reddit

I'n seeing a mix of NSX and Corvette CERV III in the rear

[-]

ThanklessTask@reddit

XJR-15 vibes.

Though not. And that car has a fantastic story of how it became a Nissan!

Bummer, I know. Still, 10/10 design.
