I took these photos at the Gosford Classic Car Museum in Sydney, Australia. The museum has over 450 cars with a combined value of over $70 million under one roof.

The first car is the 1991 Jaguar XJR15, this car was the first fully carbon fibre road car. It has a 365 cu in or 6lt 24 valve V12 which produces 450 hp or 335 kW, with it's 6 speed box it had a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h).

J'adore those supercars from the 80's - 90's when the hoods are opened. So direct and mechanical

They are beasts, that's for sure, cheers friend.

That XJ220 is timeless! Sadly they only made 275 of them between 1992 and 1994.

What about the XJR15's production numbers, it's tiny as well with only 53 cars, and half of those were used as racing cars at the 24Hr Le Mans, thanks friend cheers.

I love Jaguar! Great pictures.

They are pretty mad looking cars aren't they. Did you see my earlier post, cheers mate.
