4.Jaguar XJ220

When one mentions Jaguar, the common thinking is that it’s a brand that delivers quality, sporty and luxurious cars. Although it has built a reputation of quality, the brand is also known for a number of misses. And one such miss that the company is known for is the Jaguar XJ220, a concept car released in 1988.

This concept car was released with an all-wheel steering and all-wheel drive and a V12 engine, something refreshing during this time. The car also adds the scissor doors that opened upwards, making this a cool car. Through this was packaged as a cool car on paper, the Jaguar was a huge disappointment during the 1980s and early 1990s. For start, it was priced outrageously, the doors opened just like any other ordinary car and the performance was likened to any basic car that’s way cheaper.
