Jaguar XJR-14

The Jaguar XJR-14 is a sports-prototype racing car introduced for the 1991 World Sportscar Championship season. It was designed by Ross Brawn and John Piper and built and run by Tom Walkinshaw Racing on behalf of Jaguar Cars, and its introduction coincided with the FIA's new 3.5 litre formula that replaced the Group C category. Given the Jaguar-Ford connection it used the 3.5-litre Ford HB V8 Formula One power plant, developed by Geoff Goddard and most notably used by the Benetton Formula One team, detuned to about 11,500 rpm and 650 bhp for reliability. Three chassis were built and used for 1991, and in the early part of that season the car was in a league of its own. Chassis were later supplied to Mazda, which rebadged them as the MXR-01, and one was reworked by TWR into the TWR-Porsche WSC-95, which won the 1996 and 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans.
