Jaguar XJ220 Featured On Top Gear Destroyed In Horrific Crash

During a recent episode of Top Gear, Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness, and Freddie Flintoff drove a Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Diablo, and Jaguar XJ220, three of the most iconic supercars from the 1990s. But as McGuinnessfound out the hard way, these analog supercars are unforgiving as the slightest misjudgment can end in disaster. The host lost control of the Diablo on a damp road and crashed into a fence, causing extensive damage to the supercar.

Sadly, the Jaguar XJ200 featured in the film has now also been wrecked. Details about the accident are scarce, but it looks like the driver lost control on a country road and slammed into some trees, destroying the front fascia.

The front bumper and right front fender has also been ripped off, the windshield is smashed, and the driver's side wheel has detached. Luckily, nobody was injured in the crash, but the damage isn't going to be cheap or easy to repair. We're hoping this iconic supercar can be salvaged since only 281 were originally produced between 1992 and 1994. Only 28 are left in the UK, but that number could go down to 27 if this XJ220 is totaled.

It's believed the car is owned by XJ220 specialist Don Law Racing, which provided the car for filming. Don Law Racing also fitted an XJ220 engine into a Ford Transit to transform it into a 200-mph van.
