FactThe XJR-15 was the first road car ever made entirely of carbon fibre, built from a Le Mans-winning race chassis.
The XJR-15 was built by JaguarSport, a Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw Racing joint venture, at Bloxham from 1990 to 1992. Its chassis is based on the Le Mans-winning XJR-9 race car and its body was designed by Peter Stevens, later co-designer of the McLaren F1; it was the world's first road car made entirely of carbon fibre. It raced in a one-make Jaguar Intercontinental Challenge supporting three 1991 Formula One races. Only 50 were planned, but 53 chassis were made.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
