The Jaguar XJR-15 is one of the most exceptional supercars of the 1990s. It was developed by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) based on the winning Jaguar XJR-9 race car, which triumphed at Le Mans in 1988.
It was one of the first mass-produced cars with an all-carbon monocoque and a carbon-fiber body, which was an exceptionally advanced design in the early 1990s.
Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine that produced approximately 450 horses and was paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Thanks to its light weight, the XJR-15 offered an exceptional driving experience and a top speed exceeding 300 km/h.
This particular lot from RM Sotheby’s is sure to catch your eye:
- original Le Mans Blue paint
- carbon fiber construction
- with a minimalist racing interior
- very low production
Only 53 units were produced, making the XJR-15 one of the rarest Jaguars of all time.
Estimated price: 1,500,000 – 2,000,000 €
Today, the Jaguar XJR-15 represents a significant milestone in the development of supercars and is often referred to as the predecessor of modern hypercars.
