Yeah. I thought that was a pretty good conclusion to The Grand Tour feature; although the XJ220 was an absolute missile in a straight line, even by today's standards, modern Supercars are as quick, but far more driveable.
Did make me chuckle that, in the wet, the XJ220 was only a couple of seconds faster round the track than an Up GTI!
That's an interesting point with regards to the McLaren F1, I was under the believe that the F1 had the whole package to suit it's speed. Still, I guess what might have been deemed a decent tyre then is seen as crap now!
