Even if it was KPH, 220kph = 136mph. So 0-136mph in 6.4 seconds???? Veyron does 0-100 in 5.5 Could this actually be real?

I'm thinking he got his KPH and MPH mixed up, but the 220kph = 136mph. So 0-136mph in 6.4 seconds? Seems a bit off, if not wow.

Also, wasn't this jag built on the Ford Taurus chassis?

I have a special edition E55 as well for sale. It's got 1,200hp and does 0-200mph in 6 seconds. It only does 0-60 in 5.5 sec but it's all the wheel spin ya know.

I'll let it go for $400,000. It's a steal!

Agreed..probably needed the chassis for the AWD layout. Never heard of 10 copies of this car made.

For $750,000K..I would pay off my house buy a mod'd Black Series SL65 and start my retirement...ambitious seller in these times.

X type was built on the old ford modeo/contour chassis but was available as AWD to suit acceptance by American tastes. Elsewhere in the world it was sold as FWD

This off topic (it's a joke topic anyway ) but your CL is GORGEOUS. Honestly most CLs are not that nice but yours look immaculate and clean

Ford purchased Jaguar in 1989 and sold it in 2008.
