The Tax the Rich crew](http://www.youtube.com/user/TaxTheRich100) has a knack for indulging in automotive fantasies and capturing it all on video, such as a tug-of-war battle between two Ferrari F50s, drifting a Ferrari Enzo on gravel roads and even powersliding a Rolls-Royce Phantom on a field of wet grass. This latest video features a Jaguar XJ220 and a kid with an iPad, who somehow is able to control the old supercar with the Apple product.

No, there’s no app for that (yet), and we lied - the boy isn’t actually controlling the car - but it sure is nice to see the XJ220 in all its turbocharged, six-cylinder glory doing donuts and sliding across a grassy field. It jolts us to see the old Jaguar - capable of 217 miles per hour and once described by Jeremy Clarkson as having no brakes and massive turbo lag - thrown about like a rally car, but then we never imagined anybody would abuse a Rolls-Royce like that either. We’ll continue to leave the high-stakes antics to Tax the Rich - we’re just glad somebody had the guts to behave so badly in such a valuable machine. What else were they made for?

Be sure to check out the video below, if you have a pulse.Continue reading Jaguar XJ220 hooned remotely by a kid
