Watch this Jaguar XJR-12 scream around Paul Ricard.
This particular car, chassis #J12-C-190, was one of the three competition cars built for Le Mans in 1990. Unfortunately for the driver team of Davy Jones, Michel Ferté, and Eliseo Salazar, the car would leave the track with a failed engine before the 24 hours had ended. That didn’t matter to Jaguar in the long-run, as the other two XJR-12s would take home an iconic 1-2 finish. Unique among the XJR-12s, this particular vehicle also saw service in theseries here in the States.
Racing might be more advanced today, but the XJR-12 surely puts on a show unlike any of the modern Le Mans competitors. That V-12 exhaust note is worth the price of admission alone, and the Silk Cut livery is just as badass as ever. If you ever needed a reminder that Group C produced some properly inspiring machines, here you have it.Born and raised in Metro Detroit, associate editor Lucas Bell has spent his entire life surrounded by the automotive industry.
