The iconic British supercar has been refreshed and modernized. Ian Callum has crafted an all-new bodywork for the XJ220. Importantly, the firm currently describes this as a design study. Ian Callum’s years at Jaguar gave us the XK, the XF, the C-X75, and the F-Type, a run of cars that defined the brand’s modern era. The XJ220 wasn’t among them, since it predated his tenure. He’s now corrected that gap on his own terms, with his namesake studio rolling out a modern take on the mid-engined Jaguar that once held the title of world’s fastest production car. So far Ian Callum Designs has put out a single image, with the promise that more is on the way. For now, it’s simply referred to as a design study, so there’s certainly no guarantee this vehicle will actually hit the roads. However, we’re hopeful that it will, even if it’s only in strictly limited numbers.

While the gorgeous flowing silhouette has been retained, all of the exterior panels are new, starting with the front. Among the tweaks we can see are the fitment of narrow LED headlights, which are obviously more modern than the flip-down headlights of the original. As with the classic XJ220, however, Callum’s 21st-century version retains a similar scuttle sitting between the windshield and hood, providing a tip of the cap to the supercar’s heritage. What Else Has Changed? Along the sides, the car’s fenders have been transformed, as have the doors. The XJ220’s iconic side air intakes have also grown in size, while the shape of the side windows remains mostly untouched. Plenty of changes have been made to the rear of the car, too, including a new decklid free of the XJ220’s spoiler. There’s also a new diffuser and bumper. While the firm describes this as a design study, the fact that Ian Callum Designs has already been able to transform two of the four C-X75 prototypes ever built leads us to believe it certainly has the ability to modernize an XJ220, or several of them. The catch is that the studio needs at least one current XJ220 owner willing to hand over their car and watch it change.
