Flaming Jaguar XJ220 hooning

Anonymous internet hoons Tax The Rich try to set their Jaguar XJ220 alight.

It’s been a while now since we’ve seen the mischievous stylings of Tax The Rich, but the anonymous internet sensation has graced us with another look at their rare Jaguar XJ220 supercar.

Rather than last year’s paddock-bashing effort with the former fastest car in the world, the faceless UK pranksters have chosen to demonstrate the flame-resistance of the big Jag’s paint and aluminium panelwork by performing a stonking great burnout through what looks to be a puddle of petrol.

Somehow, the fast cat appears to emerge unscathed, but we’d urge you to avoid trying this at home with your Mazda 3 or Toyota HiLux. An evidently flameproof Jaguar XJ220 they ain’t.   

If you’re new to the doings of Tax The Rich, be sure to check out their other efforts, including multiple Ferrari F50 exploits, a positively thrashed Ferrari Enzo and 288 GTO, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom being driven like they stole it.

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
