I don't know the true value of the xj but I guess its not too bad compare to other super car... in OC/LA we see Ferraris,Lambos everyday but I have actually never seen one of these on the road.. so when I saw that this dealer had one in stock I decided to go take a look... its a rare car..

The XJ220 seems to handle pretty damn good in one of the famous tracks, Oulton Park in England. Oh hell yeah my favorite track. The Oulton Park action is shown toward the end of the video below.

I wonder how the CLS55 AMG handles in that track. Any cars weigh far more than 3000 lbs will have some problems in sophisticated tracks like Oulton Park, Brands Hatch, Knockhill, etc. CLS55 AMG weighs nearly 4000 lbs, 3814 lbs to be precise. The XJ220 weighs barely over 3000 lbs. It's a lot more efficient, don't need as big engine (V6 w/ twin turbos and forced induction, which put out even more power than the V12's back in the days), and much faster. Physics don't lie.........
The bottom line is that this car is not only can be used for daily drive but it's too good. Exotic cars, gotta treat it like exotic car. Cars like Honda Civic should be treated like Honda Civic.... Getting in/out of the car maybe a little uncomfortable but is actually quite comfortable and has luxury interior than any other exotic cars, Ferrari for example, which has different taste in interior design. You can't expect this to be a Honda Civic... It's a XJ220 that's got class, elegance, and passion. Play some classical music while driving this car. It matches perfectly. Techno-Trance would work too when you want to get sporty. Sexy!
