Blimey. Nice work Tiff. Not easiest car to drive. Great looker though.

Doubt there's ever been a more feral road-legal car, produced before or since. Even more so than the original Viper. The 90s were simply insane for hypercars

Was at the British grand prix in 91', they had these jags as a support race. Nice to look at but compared to the F1 cars pretty slow and quiet!

The XJR-15, a moment of sublime madness in the usually classy and noble Jaguar make, and one of my favourite cars ever.

"flat out through Abbey but it's not easy" is very understated for Tiff. Nuff respecte for driving like that in that car. Great video. Cheers for uploading.

I just watched this in my collection. Had to find this and comment. What a rip! Tiff, you're a Driving God. Us pleebs will never get a better tour, even 29 years later. Not just Silverstone, but the experience in general. Real time narration of a hot lap in a V12 wrapped in scaffolding, AWEsome! 450 HP in 1991 looks like a helluva lot more fun than 1000 HP does nowadays. Yer just spankin' that Kitty. Effort is a lost art. I get an adrenaline rush just watching this. I want to have a go! It feels better than watching some rich Pud toss his Million Dollar car around the Nordschleife. Imagine a few tweaks to this chassis to get the power down? It'd run with the new stuff. 3 decades later. It would be a still be a handful and make for way better racing.

I think the reason Tiff finished midfield or last in all the XJR15 races that year is because of his overdriving. If he drives races like that.

This car was fitted with F40 rear tyres which was a stop gap as the Bridgestone tyres were not ready. The result was not enough traction and epic oversteer. The correct tyres transformed the handling.

Apparently there were 3 'LM' variants knocking out 700+bhp from a 7.4L V12, the std 450bhp model did 0-60 in 3.2s and had a gear ratio ltd top speed of 191mph.

I don't know what it is, but supercars from the 80s and 90s are my favorite. I know modern cars are "better" but all my dream cars are from that era - f40, f50, GTO, xjr-15, 220, f1, countach, diablo, etc. the only super car I like after 2000 is the Ford GT.
