In this episode, we’re diving deep into two of Jaguar’s most legendary and misunderstood supercars—the XJR-15 and the XJ220. These machines pushed the boundaries of performance and design, yet each came with its own controversy, innovation, and lasting impact on the automotive world.

The XJR-15, built by TWR, was the first carbon-fiber road car, essentially a Group C racer with license plates. Brutal, raw, and rare, it remains one of the most exhilarating driving experiences ever created. Then there’s the XJ220, Jaguar’s ambitious attempt at building the ultimate supercar, which faced setbacks, a last-minute engine swap, and mixed reception upon launch—only to later earn its place as an all-time great.

I also share my personal experiences with these cars, from up-close encounters to behind-the-scenes stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

AutoTalksUS is more than just cars—it’s about the people, the passion, and the stories that fuel the automotive world.

Stay tuned, stay excited, and let’s make 2025 an unforgettable ride together. Buckle up and join us for the journey!
