Here's a brief video about a very rare Jaguar XJR-15 race car I recorded during the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The XJR-15 was produced by JaguarSport, a joint venture between Jaguar Cars and TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) created to produce high performance sports cars, from 1990 to 1992.Tom Walkinshaw conceived the concept in 1988 intended to be a better alternative to the XJ220. Following Jaguar's success at Le Mans, he enlisted designer Peter Stevens to develop a road-going version of the XJR-9. The XJR-15 was powered by a 6.0-litre naturally aspirated Jaguar V12 engine able to produce around 450 hp. The standard transmission was an unsynchronised six-speed manual gearbox while a five-speed, synchromesh transmission was also available as an optional extra. The final weight amounted to be 1,050 kg. The XJR-15 had a planned production run of 50 examples.
A limited number of XJR-15s were built specifically to compete in the 1991 Jaguar Sport Intercontinental Challenge, a three-race competition held throughout the year as a support event for the 1991 Formula One Grand Prix at Monaco, Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps. 16 cars were entered in each event. The winners of the first two rounds were awarded with a pair of Jaguar XJR-S road cars whilst the winner of the third and final race, Armin Hahne, was awarded a cash prize of US$1 million.
The car in this video is managed by Jaguar's specialists Don Law Racing and for the occasion it was driven by Armin Hahne.
