I wish car programs now used camera angles like the ones from this video, they do a really good job of showing all the best angles of the cars and how they look on track and give you plenty of time to really soak in how absolutely gorgeous each and every car in this video is. Nowadays most videos are all about crazy editing, cutting to new angles every 2 seconds, and lots of effects that don't really show off the car.

I always forget the sheer absurdity of the original Viper, its one of the few production cars to look almost exactly like the concept version. Even back in the 90's you had to think of things like crash standards, meeting emissions, people expected creature comforts like a quiet ride, nicely trimmed interiors, a/c, power windows, hell windows and a functioning top were just givens at that time(we had come a long way since a 1950's MG). Then this outrageous looking brute just shows up and gives everybody the middle finger. The OG Viper is one of my favorite cars for all those reasons. I know the newer model Vipers had hardtops, windows, were more usuable/comfortable cars, but the original RT/10 roadster is by far my favorite.

Yep. It was meant to be a "modern" Cobra. Nasty, Brutish, but insanely fast. The original F40 was in a similar vein... no comforts, no radio. Just a twin turbo V8 and the accessories needed to get that power down. If buyers wanted a Harmon Kardon 10 speaker stereo (which you would never hear over the engine and gearbox anyway...), they were advised to apply elsewhere. Although of limited use as actual 'cars', I have great admiration for these single purpose machines.... and for those who demand comforts and luxuries, there's always a bloated Cadillac waiting for you at the dealership!

The mid nineties were really the golden age of supercars. Raw, visceral, brutal, with little in the way of driver aids and the propensity to kill you if you ran out of talent. And the sheer beauty of the cars on offer was (and still is) a joy to behold. Granted, there are some cracking cars in the segment today, but I'd take a Porsche 959, Ferrari F40, Bugatti EB110, Lamborghini Diablo or Jaguar XJ220 over any of them, and that's largely because today's supercars just don't have the soul. If someone offered me the choice, I'd take the Jag in a hearbeat, because even in 2019 it looks like it was designed in the future.

As a matter of comment: I did drive a V550 Vantage not so long ago, but not in the best time of the season. What surprised me was general opulence of feel in the interior and the car controls: the steering is light, the clutch and brakes are so light you barely feel them. The car has somewhat beefy 275 mm high profile tires, they flex on the road quite a bit. However, the power seems to be endless. I haven't unleashed it, but really, that car is extremely brutal in its engine. You push the gas, and it wacks the tail on the straight, lol. It's quite a thing.
@DoriFord5 жыл бұрын
I can confirm that the power is indeed endless. This video, and the Vantage clip in particular, is the very reason that this car has been in my head for 30 years. So much so that when the opportunity came, I bought one. I took it on the Autobahn this year (2023) and my bottle and driving skills were found wanting way before the Vantage's capabilities were reached. That was around 170mph, and she was still pulling. I've some videos on my channel of it.

I mean I am glad with the snobbishness they are about their prized european speedsters they sure do love skipping over iconic cars that where absolutley as good as anything they where putting out at the time. We just happened to be more geared at straitline numbers for a while. That zr1 and viper started our evolution to where we are today for sure. Then bringing in supra and nsx but no rx7 and 300zx which where all in the same range. sigh.

@Lawrence L. If you are talking about a factory standard corvette that model year yes. However we are not we are talking about the zr1 which was on par with what the viper could do and easier to do it with and more comfortable. That viper was known for just slidding out at any time because of how crude it was. I just would not have put any of our American cars on the list with xj220 and such. Hell some of the cars they put on there should not have been that where european models. Same with the nsx. It was a superb driver but in no way a super car.

The real issue is the maintenance... the XJ220 requires an engine out service every 6 years that includes a fuel bladder replacement at a cost of around $75K to $100K. There are only a few places in the world that can correctly perform this service. My experience with some of the owners that I know is that this is not common knowledge and takes new owners by surprise.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! 2023, nearly '24 atm... 30 years on! I'm 64... so i was 34 at the time...

I laughed at so many of Jeremy's expressions... even though by now i've heard them before! LEGEND
I wish car programs now used camera angles like the ones from this video, they do a really good job of showing all the best angles of the cars and how they look on track and give you plenty of time to really soak in how absolutely gorgeous each and every car in this video is. Nowadays most videos are all about crazy editing, cutting to new angles every 2 seconds, and lots of effects that don't really show off the car.
True production quality has come down. Medioctity has crept in this internet age
The McLaren F1 remains the greatest supercar ever made. 30 years old and she still looks unbelievably sexy. The fastest naturally aspirated car even today.
I would say the countach turbo s was better the countach was so appealing it lasted from 1971 to 1990 only 4 years before this was made
Yes, it does. The styling is japanese tho... So don't be surprised that today they changed that, they never owned any of it.
The McLaren F1 does not come close to the shear awesomeness of the Nissan Be-1, or the Mazda Carol supercars though. But it is an amazing machine.

Can't tell you how unbelievably Happy I am, that this has been Uploaded to YT!
Even 90’s Clarkson is brilliant and the best part of the show
I can't get over how great tiff is at driving and presenting!
Why are you surprised? Tiff drove in F1 for a short period, he's a very talented driver.
I was 18 in 1994. I remember the first time I saw cars like the Diablo, F40 and 959 in a magazine and just couldn’t imagine the power they had back then. Over 25 years later and cars like the Mustang GT have 460 horsepower and can do 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds.
Yeah, the performance is in lesser cars now but nothing modern matches the looks of a diablo xj220 f40. There is a diablo near where i live and it is epic in person on the road
And yet that still doesn't devalue any of the cars you listed. They are the best for a reason.
Once upon a time, Top Gear featured the shy and humble presenter Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson, and Tiff Needel showed how to really drive a sportscar. The Ferrari 456 is a gorgeous 90s GT, but the Lambo Miura still knocks me out in any era.
It's Jeremy Clarkson I think
@@kylelander9901 That`s what he said. he just quoted his full name. Try reading more carefully.😉
I was elated to find out that you could swap a V12 into The Jaguar on Forza Motorsport 5-7, making it what it should've been from factory.
But can you make it AWD as well? (I've only played up to FM4)
217 mph in a road car in 1994!! that Jag was incredible.
It was a race car trimmed for the road, those prototypes derived from Group C racing! Or Le Mans.
@@jamesregiste960 Exactly, anyone who shuns an XJ220 as a slow, lumbering whale would probably never be able to even approach and properly push it's limit on a track.
1:26 "hamster cage" Foreshadowing???
He opens the trunk and Hammond pops out
People can't even comprehend how much more work/balls was needed to drive these cars at high speeds like Tiff was doing.
yeah, I've driven a 911 from the 90s and a few other German cars with "only" 250+ HP and never at the limit, but it's enough to get a feeling for them and what kind of handling they required. Totally different to anything built in the last two decades. Back then cars with a lot of power were capricious machines, seemingly with a life of their own. O_o
And Clarkson. Can't believe how fast he was going along the country lane at 24:00. At least 70 up to the bends!
Michael Allott video was sped up!

Tiff Nedell AND Jeremy Clarkson! Brilliant! Reminds me of the early internet days when we would search and scramble and steal, beg and anything else to try and get TOP GEAR and 5th Gear episodes in the US! I joined a super cool car forum called JabbasWorld in the early 2000’s to get access to Top Gear episodes. Now they’re easily accessible and so mainstream popular, not quite as special or exciting as it used to be.
Jabbas World yes I remember that! Little clips with a watermark! Those were the days...

The engine is assembled in Nippleston, the gearbox at Womblesley, before being shipped to the main Jaguar factory at Whipplebottom where they’re mated to the chassis, which was made by TWR in Bell End.
I wonder if Tiff ever yelled, CLARKSON!!
Never.
i was born in 1992, but i think the 90's were the best years of my life

I always forget the sheer absurdity of the original Viper, its one of the few production cars to look almost exactly like the concept version. Even back in the 90's you had to think of things like crash standards, meeting emissions, people expected creature comforts like a quiet ride, nicely trimmed interiors, a/c, power windows, hell windows and a functioning top were just givens at that time(we had come a long way since a 1950's MG). Then this outrageous looking brute just shows up and gives everybody the middle finger. The OG Viper is one of my favorite cars for all those reasons. I know the newer model Vipers had hardtops, windows, were more usuable/comfortable cars, but the original RT/10 roadster is by far my favorite.
YUP RT/10 is also my fav, wish they did a remake of it before stopping production of the vipers.
Yep. It was meant to be a "modern" Cobra. Nasty, Brutish, but insanely fast. The original F40 was in a similar vein... no comforts, no radio. Just a twin turbo V8 and the accessories needed to get that power down. If buyers wanted a Harmon Kardon 10 speaker stereo (which you would never hear over the engine and gearbox anyway...), they were advised to apply elsewhere. Although of limited use as actual 'cars', I have great admiration for these single purpose machines.... and for those who demand comforts and luxuries, there's always a bloated Cadillac waiting for you at the dealership!
In 1993, I was 10, my grandad bought me a 9" scale model of the Jaguar XJ220, it was my 1st car porn. To this day, it still stirs my... prepubescent soul!
You poor f*ck....you poor, stupid, miserable f*ck......

Man. The 90s. Where grey, cheap plastic, white letters, dull colors and corny tv ruled the world. I do NOT miss those things. But i would still give anything to go back!
The mid nineties were really the golden age of supercars. Raw, visceral, brutal, with little in the way of driver aids and the propensity to kill you if you ran out of talent. And the sheer beauty of the cars on offer was (and still is) a joy to behold. Granted, there are some cracking cars in the segment today, but I'd take a Porsche 959, Ferrari F40, Bugatti EB110, Lamborghini Diablo or Jaguar XJ220 over any of them, and that's largely because today's supercars just don't have the soul. If someone offered me the choice, I'd take the Jag in a hearbeat, because even in 2019 it looks like it was designed in the future.

still love it to this day
"This is an open vehicle. Drive carefully. .....No!"- Jeremy Clarkson, famous last words. XD
As a matter of comment: I did drive a V550 Vantage not so long ago, but not in the best time of the season. What surprised me was general opulence of feel in the interior and the car controls: the steering is light, the clutch and brakes are so light you barely feel them. The car has somewhat beefy 275 mm high profile tires, they flex on the road quite a bit. However, the power seems to be endless. I haven't unleashed it, but really, that car is extremely brutal in its engine. You push the gas, and it wacks the tail on the straight, lol. It's quite a thing.
I can confirm that the power is indeed endless. This video, and the Vantage clip in particular, is the very reason that this car has been in my head for 30 years. So much so that when the opportunity came, I bought one. I took it on the Autobahn this year (2023) and my bottle and driving skills were found wanting way before the Vantage's capabilities were reached. That was around 170mph, and she was still pulling. I've some videos on my channel of it.
Still have this on VHS

thankfully nowdays although many of us cannot afford these, we still have the video game sim as the next best thing.
Out of those amazing cars, the XJ 220 is the one I'd want.
How quaint that at tthe time of airing, an XJ220 was considered a "bad investment". Heh.
met a guy in oxfordshire who has 2 silver xj220's,question is,why? a doomed car from the get go.as the original car was supposed to have a v12.it never sold in the amounts jaguar wanted,but i would say leap forward to today and its prob making money.
The real issue is the maintenance... the XJ220 requires an engine out service every 6 years that includes a fuel bladder replacement at a cost of around $75K to $100K. There are only a few places in the world that can correctly perform this service. My experience with some of the owners that I know is that this is not common knowledge and takes new owners by surprise.
@@Fulloctanegarage The Ferrari F40 also has the same "issue" with fuel bladders, but that car keeps its value much better.
Moriquendiii I agree... interesting as I believe there were even less XJ220 built (271) . The point I was making was really about the maintenance to car value comparison. Someone buying a $2.4 million Ferrari compared to a $350k XJ220 with similar $100k maintenance impact.
When I was a kid in the early 90's I always thought the XJ220 was the best looking of all the exotic supercars that had appeared like Diablo, F40, EB110, 959, etc. Even today it hardly looks dated at all. It was such a beautiful, sleek car.
Jeremy still made the effort to dress properly in those days. 1994 wasn't so long ago, yet it seems like 1954. The world has moved on rather fast, hasn't it.
Thanks for posting!
Thank you for uploading!
The F1 is a beast. Love the early Viper too. Supercars in America were starting to come back with the Mustang SVT Ford Lightning Pontiac had good trans ams too. And the almighty Corvette was getting even faster and faster.
"Best is British" Ha, well, now THAT has been a while already...
doɔʇoɹ ɯıdnıƃɥʇ how dare you sir! I’ll have you know my associate Dr Miles Tavistock St. John-Smythe showed a clean pair of heels to some flashy Arab in a Veyron in his ‘74 Morgan. Mind you, he had a pair of larger main jets in it and had fitted overdrive.
Great upload, Thankyou!
I still have this on VHS. Wish they would release it on dvd.
$1 million for the F1 now worth over $10 million
compare the money worth in 25years ago when the owner bought that car for 1million...that 1million is now around 4-5million, so maybe a double up "only".
@tfs2O3 and the 2total rebuild costed around 2-3mills each :D great business.
@tfs2O3 If you are talking about P390GJM (Rowan Atkinsons old car) it's Burgundy and is a gorgeous colour. I would keep it exactly as is. Way better than a boring black or silver like most of them were. I also never liked white dials and I think this is the only one of the 64 which has black ones.
@tfs2O3 I might still prefer a lighter red too. I do love that Metallic Blue one though google F1 MAC Metallic blue Mclaren F1. I'm OK with black wheels on the right colour car but am happy with standard silver ones.
the one in the video was scrapped lmao....same shit happend to the jag
