To all you folks who were impressed by the MG RV8 story in autocar and
motor magazine,let me also tell you that this week they published the one
and only independent "clinical"(i,e fully measured performance with fifth
wheel etc)road test of the gorgeous Jag XJ220.
These are the results(some of them)
Acceleration,0-60;3.6secs
0-100;7.9
top speed,213 on banked track,which equates to about 223mph down straight
bhp;580 at 18centigrade
lb/ft;500 at 4500r.p.m (max power at 7200
Yeah ,and basically they said it was the sweetest handling car they had
ever come across,including the ferrari 512.
Pleased to see that Brit cars have at last come out top again......
And that will probably still be the case when the Mclaren comes out,shame
it's got a german engine!
By the way,the bugatti was not rated in the handling stakes.
P.S.How do you guys get cars and petrol for so little?
