Cult Jaguar XJR-S 1993 - Silver 1:18 model car

Cult 1:18 resin model of the 1993 Jaguar XJR-S in silver. In 1988, Jaguar formally entered into a 50:50 partnership with Tom Walkinshaw who was, at the time, Jaguar's racing partner. The partnership was established to create sportier versions of the company's existing range of cars. These vehicles were given the model designations of XJR for saloons, and XJR-S for sports cars. For the new XJR-S, upgrades included a subtle body kit, Speedline alloys, firmer front springs, stiffer steering mounts, and a revalved power-steering pinion. Inside, the leather was upgraded, and the steering wheel was replaced by one with four spokes. But, disappointingly, the 5.3 litre engine was left untouched. In late 1989, this issue was rectified with an upgrade to TWR's 6.0 litre V12, fuel injection, a digital ignition system, and modified cold air intakes. This increased the V12's output from 291 bhp to 318 bhp. On this new version, larger and wider wheels came as standard. The front spring rates were also increased, whilst stiffer springs replaced the standard ones.
