Jaguar XJR-11 Silk Cut '89
FIA Group C 1989.
Jaguar's answer to the turbo era, the XJR-10/11 cars used the v6 engine from the Metro Group B rally car with a pair of turbochargers stuck on it. Drivers would say it had the tractability of a lightswitch.
The chassis and bodywork were a continuation of Tony Southgate's work on the preceding v12 XJR cars. Nearly identical aero approaches defined very similar nose and windscreen profiles as well as the distinctive rear wheel covers. The more compact drivetrain allowed for tidier rear bodywork. An adaptation of the car for IMSA GTP regulations ran as the XRJ-10 in Castrol colors.
