Jaguar XJR-15

A six-speed TWR gearbox was developed for the XJR-15, drawing on the company's endurance-racing experience.

At the front, the XJR-15 used pushrods and inboard-mounted spring-and-damper units.

The XJR-15's V12 used dry-sump lubrication, a layout typical of racing cars.

Behind the XJR-15's cabin sat a 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing more than 450 bhp.

The XJR-15 used a carbon-composite monocoque that was highly advanced for an early-1990s road car.

Pendine's historical catalog records 16 XJR-15s prepared in competition specification for the Intercontinental Challenge.

JaguarSport revealed the XJR-15 in November 1990 as a road supercar closely related in concept to TWR and Jaguar racing prototypes.

The 1991 XJR-15 series finale at Silverstone carried a one-million-dollar prize won by Armin Hahne.

XJR-15 owners could compete in the one-make Jaguar Intercontinental Challenge held during Grand Prix weekends in 1991.

The XJR-15 grew from the idea of creating a road car using experience and technology from the racing Jaguar XJR-9.
