Back in the 1940s, Rover got inspired by the Willys Army Jeep. The british brand then wanted to develop a 4x4 that also offered the comforts of a modern car. This idea led to the first series of the Land Rover in 1948. The first mass-produced 4x4 made for citizens created a lot of demand worldwide. 40 Years later, Rover stopped the production of the "Land Rover Series" and instead the Land Rover Defender was born.

To compete with Porsches 959, and Ferraris F40, Jaguar designed and later on built the XJ220. Originally, a V12 and all-wheel drive were planned. However, in the end, the XJ220 was delivered with a 550 hp V6, rear-wheel drive and unfortunately little driving fun. In addition, the XJ220 (standing for 220 mph) also did not reach the planned top speed of 350 kph. But despite many failures, the Jaguar XJ220 remained a special supercar to this day.
