After consulting Wikipaedophilia, I'm part right...

The original concept was meant to be a 6.2 V12 provided by TWR, but it wouldnt pass the emissions laws back then, so they went for a V6 Turbo instead.

I'm gonna have a look back at some old pics, sure there was a V12 220 in the Jag museum at Browns Lane when I was down there...

The silver XJ220 in the Cov motor museum is a V12, from the XJR-15, which preceeded the XJ220. The V6 was the same as used in the Austin Metro

I always thought it was a V6 cause they already had the engine, and it was released during a time they didn't have the money to develop the engine. Same reason they didnt make it 4WD which it should have been too!
