On paper our cars do well against many supercars/super luxury cars. We also have similar performance specs to the Aston Martin Vantage, many older Lambo's and Ferrari's, etc. Then again if you know any about the Jaguar XJ220 debacle you'll realize most of the people that can afford those cars have no clue about their performance and just care about being able to say things like "only 3000 made" and "hand built engine"...oh wait

For a history lesson the XJ220 was one of the most powerful V6 powered supercars ever built, even compared to today. The super rich pulled their deposits just because it didn't come with a V12 like Jag originally planned. It was still a marvel of engine performance.
