The Jaguar Sport XJR-15 is a two-seater sports car of which a limited number were produced by JaguarSport, a subsidiary of Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw Racing, between 1990 and 1992. Only 50 were planned, although 53 chassis were eventually made, each selling for 500,000 pounds. The chassis was mechanically based on the Le Mans-winning XJR-9 designed by Tony Southgate, and the body was designed by Peter Stevens, who went on to co-design the McLaren F1. The car competed in a single-make racing series, the Jaguar Intercontinental Challenge, which supported three Formula 1 races in 1991, and it was the world's first road car made entirely from carbon-fibre. It is powered by a 5,993 cc naturally aspirated 24-valve Jaguar V12 engine producing 450 horsepower, with a gearing limited top speed of 191 miles per hour and a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.9 seconds, and it could be registered for road use in the United Kingdom although it was never type-approved.
