1991: Silk Cut #4
32767 view(s)
The Jaguar XJR-14 was a Group C and later IMSA GTP Sports-prototype racing car introduced for the 1991 World Sportscar Championship season. It was designed in response to the new 3.5 liter regulations.

Designed by Ross Brawn and built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR). Brawn was able to apply design methodology from Formula One. In the past, TWR's Jaguars had been designed under the direction of Tony Southgate, while Brawn worked with a large design staff (12 according to John Piper). The XJR-14 was one of the first Group C cars to truly take advantage of a clean sheet of paper approach under the new FIA 3.5L regulations, meaning it was not an evolution of the XJR-12 design, but instead a true replacement. To fit with the new 3.5L regulations, Jaguar was forced to replace their large displacement V12 with a smaller V8. TWR turned to Ford-aligned Cosworth to supply the F1 derived 3.5 liter HB V8. The engines were badged as Jaguars.

The kit looks pretty accurate and it differs in approach to many other Studio 27 releases. The chassis plate is white metal and the resin used for the cleanly cast body is softer than usual. There are a few feed tags to remove but otherwise there will be very little preparation needed before embarking on the complex masking. That said there are reference points on the body, so the masking will not be as tricky as it first appears.
