	The '''Jaguar XJR-15''' is a rare [[supercar]] produced by [[Jaguar Cars\|Jaguar]]. Only 50 were made, each selling for US$960,165. Based mechanically on the [[24 hours of Le Mans\|Le Mans]]-winning [[Jaguar XJR-9]], the car had an aerodynamic body designed by [[Peter Stevens]], who later went on to design the [[McLaren F1]].

	The car's production was announced in a press release on November 15, 1990. It was then built by Jaguar Sport in Coventry, England from 1990 to 1992. While all are now privately owned, some were built for professional racing.		The car's production was announced in a press release on November 15, 1990. It was then built by Jaguar Sport in Coventry, England from 1990 to 1992. While all are now privately owned, some were built for professional racing.

	The [[mid-engine]], [[rear-wheel drive]] [[supercar]] is powered by a 450 hp, naturally aspirated [[V12]] engine of 5,993cc, and has a 6-speed [[manual transmission]]. The XJR-15’s chassis and bodywork are composed of carbon fiber and Kevlar, and its engine features an advanced electronically managed [[fuel injection]] system. The XJR-15 has a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 185 mph.

The XJR-15 has a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 185 mph.

	Because of its V12 engine, power-hungry buyers saw the XJR-15 as an attractive alternative to the [[Jaguar XJ220]], which was powered by a twin turbo V6. The XJ220 was also a limited production vehicle, of which 271 were built.

The XJ220 was also a limited production vehicle, of which 271 were built.

	The XJR-15 stemmed from a concept car by Jaguar Sport and [[Tom Walkinshaw Racing]] (TWR) called '''Project R9R'''. The R9R was developed by Jaguar Sport for the purpose of testing the endurance of carbon and plastic bodywork at high speeds. It was based mechanically on the V12-powered '''XJR-9''', which won the 1988 Le Mans. After thousands of miles of testing and thorough analysis, the R9R went into production as the Jaguar XJR-15 in 1990. According to a press release by Jaguar, it was built specifically with the 1991 Jaguar Sport Intercontinental Challenge in mind.

The event was a three-race competition held throughout the year as a support race to the [[Formula One]] Grand Prix. The winner of the final race at Spa-Francorchamps, Armin Hahne, was awarded a cash prize of US$1 million.

	While Jaguar never exported the XJR-15 out of Europe, at least three are known to have made their way to the United States. One was sold at the [[Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance]] in 2001 for US$176,000. Another was sold at Pebble Beach in 2003 for US$154,000 (which was, incidentally, alongside a [[Jaguar XJ220]] which sold for US$157,500).

The '''Jaguar XJR-15''' is a rare [[supercar]] produced by [[Jaguar Cars|Jaguar]]. Only 50 were made, each selling for US$960,165. Based mechanically on the [[24 hours of Le Mans|Le Mans]]-winning [[Jaguar XJR-9]], the car had an aerodynamic body designed by [[Peter Stevens]], who later went on to design the [[McLaren F1]].

The car's production was announced in a press release on November 15, 1990. It was then built by Jaguar Sport in Coventry, England from 1990 to 1992. While all are now privately owned, some were built for professional racing.

The [[mid-engine]], [[rear-wheel drive]] [[supercar]] is powered by a 450 hp, naturally aspirated [[V12]] engine of 5,993cc, and has a 6-speed [[manual transmission]]. The XJR-15’s chassis and bodywork are composed of carbon fiber and Kevlar, and its engine features an advanced electronically managed [[fuel injection]] system. The XJR-15 has a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 185 mph.

Because of its V12 engine, power-hungry buyers saw the XJR-15 as an attractive alternative to the [[Jaguar XJ220]], which was powered by a twin turbo V6. The XJ220 was also a limited production vehicle, of which 271 were built.

The XJR-15 stemmed from a concept car by Jaguar Sport and [[Tom Walkinshaw Racing]] (TWR) called '''Project R9R'''. The R9R was developed by Jaguar Sport for the purpose of testing the endurance of carbon and plastic bodywork at high speeds. It was based mechanically on the V12-powered '''XJR-9''', which won the 1988 Le Mans. After thousands of miles of testing and thorough analysis, the R9R went into production as the Jaguar XJR-15 in 1990. According to a press release by Jaguar, it was built specifically with the 1991 Jaguar Sport Intercontinental Challenge in mind.

Sixteen of the cars were raced at the 1991 Jaguar Sport Intercontinental Challenge in Monaco. The event was a three-race competition held in August of that year. The winner, Armin Hahne, was awarded a cash prize of US$1 million.

While Jaguar never exported the XJR-15 out of Europe, at least three are known to have made their way to the United States. One was sold at the [[Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance]] in 2001 for US$176,000. Another was sold at Pebble Beach in 2003 for US$154,000 (which was, incidentally, alongside a [[Jaguar XJ220]] which sold for US$157,500).

The most recent was sold at the Bonhams & Butterfields Auction in Carmel, CA in August 2004. It is reported to have been sold to a private collector for around US$175,000. The auctioned car in question was originally ordered in 1991 by British pop music producer Matt Aitken, who participated in races supporting that year's [[Monaco Grand Prix]] and [[Belgian Grand Prix]].
