An Automotive Tragedy | Jaguar XJ13

[@brian3971]

Easily one of the most gorgeous cars ever made.

Hard to believe this car was designed 60 years ago. Cars dont look this good or slippery today. Georgeous

this channel is severely underrated

The engine was developed by Walter Hassan a Bentley boy originally planned with twin overhead camshafts but only single to keep production costs down. It was a completely new engine not a double version on an xk crank as you suggested.

That was in fact a nice car

Thank you for having subtitles. 👍

Norman Dewis was not merely a test driver. He was a key member of Jaguar’s development team who strongly influenced, from concept to production, all of Jaguar’s sports cars from their golden age in the early 1950s to the mid-80s. At 130 mph, the XJ13 prototype he was guiding around a long sweeper experienced a broken rear wheel and the car instantly became uncontrollable. Miraculously, Dewis was uninjured. Describing his event as”tragic” is inappropriate because there was no loss of life.

It's a shame that modern cars tend to be over designed

[@automobilistic]

Theres certainly something beautiful about the elegance that only a more simple design can achieve. The XJ13 is the epitome of that for me

[@travosk8668]

[@JURacing]

nice video about a great car... just a bit of an abrupt ending. Looks like you did not have the time or the motivation to tell the rest of the story 😉

[@automobilistic]
