There’s no escaping the success of the Germans and Italians on this list, but England had the world’s most popular motoring television show for over ten years, and also between 1992-93, they had the fastest production car on earth. Unfortunately, the Jag’s reign wasn’t marked by admiration and success, but for production mishaps, most notably the necessity of replacing the V12 mounted in the XJ220’s concept model due to engineering requirements, soiling its savage speed record. It cost 470,000 Pounds Sterling when it was finally released, making it one of the most expensive cars, as well as the fastest, at the time.
