a modern classic

Sports car racer

in 1980, he felt that he needed a modern version of the C-shaped cars and Jaguar D-type Le Mans success in the 1950s and 1960s, that can be added to the FIA Group B events.

The first concept is based on the Central engine, 4-wheel drive V12 engine, the Jaguar XK.

He was a speed of 220 km/h, and therefore, in accordance with the predecessor of the XK120 Jaguar XJ220 sports car was named.

7 liter V12 engine, four valves per cylinder, two overhead camshafts, and served as the Preceptor of the XJR-9 Le Mans, which he won.

The crankcase lubrication, lower the Centre of gravity of the car in the restaurant used.

Therefore, decided to use this machine but to 6.2 litres reduced and used sticks.

The unit was twice the number of valves per cylinder and cam shaft, if the production, the V12 engine, which is a good choice for use in a Jaguar sports car racing.

Jaguar had limited skills in the four-wheel-drive technology, the work of the mission was active in the design of the Jensen FF plays used was the first sports car with all-wheel drive is equipped for the society.

Aluminum case the style is based on, which used the d-type.

Although car just to go with, if the value of the system as up to 200 km/h produced 300 pounds, supported by changing the rear wing, which crossed at low speeds.

Electric scissors took the doors and the shell, the motor can be read.

Was heated windscreen, leather seats, front and rear electric Windows and air adjustable seats and air conditioning.

It uses an aluminum rear wheel steering, adjustable suspension was high, and were equipped with ABS.

Jaguar sports car concept was in 1988 British International Motorshow in Birmingham and was well received, with about 1500 deposits seems the production in 1992.

The series vehicle

The production version was powered by a 3.5-liter Biturbo TO3 Garrett engine with double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder and two of the charge air cooler and a five-speed.

In fact was, a specially designed racing Cosworth developed and first used the XJR-10 cars and XJR-11.

The original V12 engine was not enough, and the weight aspects of emissions. The engine change meant that the wheelbase can be reduced and is a lighter weight.

The engine was a cast aluminum head and block, steel connecting rods and crankshaft. Moreover, chemical sump lubrication with multi-point fuel injection and limited-slip differential.

Advanced 540 HP at 7200 RPM and 475 ft/lbs torque at 4500 rpm, top speed of 213 mph and 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds.

Scissor doors and the rear wheels were not used in the production of the Variant. Was a 13-inch front and 11.8 inch rear disc brakes and had no power steering.

The production began only 275 of these cars, and none of the other implemented in 1992, but in 1994 expected.

It is therefore disappointing to the market when the V12, as well as the impact of the recession in the early 1990s to buy leave many buyers who had placed a deposit and take advantage of the opportunity, will be replaced by a V6.

In January 1990, the list price was 290 £000 net pay, the retail price of £470.000 in 1992. Jaguar cars in performance:
