Starting with the biggest engine (really) of the set and working our way to the smallest, it"s Jaguar"s financially disastrous but unarguably cool Nineties supercar, the XJ220. Now, 3.5 litres isn"t a tiny engine by 2019 standards, but back in the early 1990s when Lamborghini thrived on V12s and the McLaren F1 was being developed, it was a rather small displacement.Especially as the 1989 XJ220 concept car had promised a 6.2-litre V12, only to be replaced by the V6 from a Metro 6R4 rally car, delivering a massive (and laggy) 542bhp.
