Jaguar XJR-S V12 “Monaco” (by PBB Desing). 

This is the Jaguar XJR-S V12 “Monaco” by the team at PBB Design based out of Bristol in England. It’s believed that just 12 of them were made – today they remain a rare and highly desirable version of the high-performance XJS. The Jaguar XJR-S was released in 1988 as the new top-of-the-line version of the XJS from Jaguar. It was fitted with the HE V12 engine that had been developed by JaguarSport, an entity owned 50/50 by Jaguar and TWR Group (Tom Walkinshaw Racing).The XJR-S was fitted with a widebody kit, uprated suspension and brakes, wider wheels and tires, and upgraded interiors, however most people’s attention was focused on what was under the hood. The JaguarSport HE V12 incorporated a slew of improvements over the stock engine and produced 318 bhp as a result.In late 1989 the engine was further upgraded and the displacement increased from 5,344 cc to 5,993 cc (6.0 liters). It was fitted with a Zytek fuel-injection and engine management system, a modified air intake system, a forged steel crankshaft, forged alloy pistons, and it had a compression ratio of 11.0:1.This newer V12 was capable of 328 bhp at 5,250 rpm and 365 lb ft of torque at 3,650 rpm, putting it up near the top of the class in the luxury sporting GT genre in the early 1990s.

PBB Design was founded by Paul Bailey in Bristol, England. Bailey had formerly worked in the aerospace industry before moving to Bristol-based Glenfrome Engineering, a company that build special versions of the Range Rover including longer wheelbase versions and a futuristic version called the Facet. In the 1980s Glenfrome experimented with a long wheelbase version of the XJS, this is where Bailey had worked on the car for the first time, and where the kernel of the idea that would become the Monaco would form.

Bailey drew his own plans for the XJS, being very careful to keep his design drawings true to the exact scale of the Jaguar so that they could realistically be applied to the car.

Glenfrome would be dissolved in 1986 however Bailey knew he was onto something with his new design for the XJS, so he formed PBB Design (Paul Bailey Bristol) in 1987 and set to work. He originally looked into creating new steel body panels for the Monaco but eventually settled on fiberglass due to the low weight.

The original body needed to be significantly modified with the front and rear wheel arches cut back allowing for wider wheels and tires, and the headlight section needed to be cut away.

The fiberglass panels, or body kit, was then bonded over the top – the result was a much wider car that looked more like the earlier D-Type and E-Type family than the XJS ever did. A set of 17 inch Compomotive split rims were then fitted along with suitably wide high-performance rubber, the suspension was rebuilt, the brakes were uprated, and clients had a choice of interior upgrades.

Under the hood the original XJR-S engine was considered amply powerful by some, those who wanted more power could opt for one of the fire-breathing Rob Beere Engineering-developed 7.3 liter version of the Jaguar V12.

Due to the high cost just 12 examples of the PBB Design Monaco were ever made, one of which was ordered by the Sultan of Brunei, and they attracted much attention from Jaguar circles when they rarely come up for public sale.

Tom Walkingshaw Racing riporta in vita la Jaguar XJ-S

La nuova Jaguar XJ-S ha mantenuto le linee degli anni 80 aggiungendo un bel po' di tecnologia e design moderni.  Richiama la storia Il design della Supercat trae ispirazione dalla XJR-9, dalla XJR-15 e dalla XJ220. Il noto collezionista di auto e stilista britannico Magnus Walker è stato consulente per il design, aggiungendo il suo tocco insieme al designer principale Khyzyl Saleem per dare vita al Supercat. La classica gran turismo ha una carrozzeria in fibra di carbonio, un processo di sviluppo che secondo TWR ha richiesto "decine di migliaia di ore" per essere completato. Un massiccio splitter domina la nuova fascia inferiore, mentre il cofano presenta una grande zona centrale e delle feritoie. Infine, nel posteriore spiccano uno spoiler a coda d'anatra e un diffusore ereditato dalle auto da corsa. A completare il look, ci sono i terminali di scarico laterali. Non sono ancora disponibili dettagli come la larghezza e il peso, ma TWR promette miglioramenti importante, anche - in termini di aerodinamica - rispetto alla XJS originale. Il 12 cilindri Il motore V12 è un altro elemento chiave della trasformazione di questa Jaguar. Non è ancora chiaro se si stato utilizzato il 5,3 litri originale o se i meccanici abbiano installato un propulsore più recente, così come non sappiamo il numero esatto dei cavalli erogati. TWR ha svelato solo che il 12 cilindri è dotato di un compressore volumetrico ed è abbinato a un cambio manuale a sei rapporti.  Nel corso dell'anno saranno svelate ulteriori informazioni, anche riguardo agli interni e alle possibilità di personalizzazione.  TWR prevede la produzione di sole 88 Supercat, in omaggio alla vittoria della XJR-9 a LeMans nel 1988. E con un prezzo di partenza di circa 225.000 sterline (263.000 euro al cambio attuale) non saranno certo economiche.  Read the full article

Jaguar XJR-15

Jaguar saw a lucrative niche in providing the world’s rich car enthusiasts with exotic, exclusive cars. As a result, Jaguar founded the JaguarSport division, tasked with coming up with a car targeted at select customers. That car was the XJR-15, announced in November 1990 via a press release.

Jaguar Everything about the XJR-15 had racing DNA, because the needed tech and know-how came from the likes of Jaguar XJR-9 (suspension included) and XJR-12. Concretely, the XJR-15 sat on a central monocoque tub, while the body came out of Peter Stevens’ pencil, who would later bring a hefty contribution to the McLaren F1’s exterior and cabin. A mix of lightweight, ahead-of-their-time composite materials were, of course, on the menu, together with carbon fiber. Powering the sleek-shaped outer shell was a dry-sump, 6-liter alloy V12 that put out 450 bhp (thus abiding by Group C specifications) through a Cosworth forged crankshaft and connecting rods. TWR (aka Tom Walkinshaw Racing) provided a six-speed transaxle gearbox connected to a triple-plate carbon clutch. All in all, the Jaguar XJR-15 tipped the scales at 2,315 lb, could reach 215 mph (346 km/h). Just 50 units were built .
