Jaguar XJR-15 1991
In the late 1980s, Jaguar joined forces with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) with the goal of dominating the endurance racing scene. After victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988 and 1990, Jaguar decided to build fifty road-going versions of its legendary race car, of which only 27 were homologated for public-road use.
The Jaguar pictured here is one of those 27 examples and has covered just 120 kilometers from new.
It was the world’s first production car to feature a body constructed entirely from carbon fiber and Kevlar, resulting in a remarkably low curb weight of only 1,035 kg (2,282 lbs). Powered by a 450-horsepower racing-derived engine, it boasted a superior power-to-weight ratio compared to many of the era’s most celebrated supercars.
Value today: approximately $1.6 million.
