Jaguar D-Type

Designed specifically to win the&nbsp;Le Mans 24-hour race, the D-Type&nbsp;was produced by&nbsp;Jaguar Cars Ltd.&nbsp;between 1954 and 1957. Sharing the&nbsp;straight-6&nbsp;XK&nbsp;engine and many mechanical components with its&nbsp;C-Type&nbsp;predecessor its structure however was radically different. Innovative&nbsp;monocoque&nbsp;construction and&nbsp;aerodynamic efficiency&nbsp;integrated aviation technology in a&nbsp;sports racing car, some examples including a renowned&nbsp;vertical stabilizer. Engine displacement began at 3.4 litres, and was enlarged to 3.8 L in 1957, and reduced to 3.0 L in 1958 when Le Mans rules limited engines for sports racing cars to that maximum. D-Types won Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957. After Jaguar temporarily retired from racing as a factory team, the company offered the remaining unfinished D-Types as&nbsp;XKSS&nbsp;versions whose extra road-going equipment made them eligible for production sports car races in America. In 1957 25 of these cars were in various stages of completion when a factory fire destroyed nine of them. Total production is thought to have included <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/jaguar/d-type/factory/">18 factory team D-Types</a>, 53 <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/jaguar/d-type/customer/">customer cars</a> and 16 <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/jaguar/d-type/xkss/">XKSS</a> versions.

Jaguar Mark X

Jaguar XJ220

The Jaguar XJ220 was first unveiled as a prototype in 1988, and eventually saw production beginning in 1992. Born from a collaboration between Jaguar and automotive specialist Tom Walkinshaw Racing, the XJ220 holds a unique and special place in automotive history. Initially developed by a group of Jaguar employees&#39; spare time, the XJ220 was conceived as a modern version of the successful cars raced by Jaguar at Le Mans in the 50s and 60s. During pre-production, the XJ220 ran into a number of technical and financial hurdles, which greatly altered the final specs of the production car. The most notable of changes was the engine. Originally intended to be a 6.2L V12 engine, production cars were offered instead with a twin turbo V6 engine. While not initially received as Jaguar would have wanted, the XJ220 has grown a strong following and is still Jaguar&#39;s only real supercar. This history, coupled with a production run of less than 300 cars, make the XJ220 a collector&#39;s dream. A racing version known as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/jaguar/xj220/competition/">XJ220C</a> was also offered.
