The Jaguar XJR-15 and Nissan R390 GT1. Similar design principles and huge differences. Tom Walkinshaw Racing, a racing team who worked for Jaguar developing the sports cars prototypes such as the Le Mans-winning XJR-9 and XJR-12. Both gave birth to the XJR-15. When TWR was hired by Nissan to build the R390 GT1, it would have a similar basic shape and a rounded cockpit as the XJR15, but everything else was entirely new.

Well they do look like siblings for sure

That was a really good video with a lot of information and good video example's!

The Ferrari F40 wasn't an all carbon fiber car. The body was made of kevlar.

Both Underrated Cars Fr

[@stewlee2019]

It's inaccurate to say the F40 was "entirely" made from carbon fibre. It was a hybrid of CFRC and Kevlar on top of a tubular steel chassis. I think the XJR 15 was in fact the first production car to use a CFRC monocoque, followed by the F1.

That’s pretty awesome video I thought they made 2 R390s one was in the museum in japan while the other is in Dubai. I could be wrong it has been 15 years since i read the wiki

[@christheradar]

Nissan technically made two R390s, one is a testing prototype and the other one is a full-on production car.

Do the LISTER STORM next or saleen S7R😊

[@LeeePowers]

Theyre TWR cousins. I think even the TWR WSC 95 was something else at one point.

Usually when there are 2 cars its easy to decide which one you would take if given offered but this is a hard question. The Jaguar looks better but the Nissan is a Unicorn and spectacular as much as the Jag is.

la diferencia esta en que uno participo en le mans el otro no, de todas formas no hubiera logrado imponerse al mclaren, ni el f40 pudo, revisando lemans 1997 el nissan r390 estaba a la misma altura que los mclaren de esa fecha e incluso podria afirmar que estaba un poquito mas abajo ya que los otros dos coches partieron muy atras, solo el conducido por eric van de poele estuvo dentro de los 5 primeros en la partida superando al mclaren de jj letho por una pequeñez, ya en el 98 el nissan habia superado por completo al mclaren notandose una gran diferencia, al final de la carrera el mclaren demostro que es rival en una carrera tan larga como le mans llegando 4to en la final atras del nissan numero 32 y superando al nissan 30, 31 y 33.

[@colossae3241]

How about make a video about SARD gt1 car base on Toyota mr2

[@verde629]

Doesn’t Mclaren use tuned Nissan engines as well ?

[@christheradar]

I have no clue! But I heard from somewhere that every modern McLaren with a V8 is derived from the Nissan R390, but McLaren doesn't want anyone to know that. They could be wrong though cuz to me I find it hard to believe.

Sweet videos. Too bad you couldn't source more videos of the 1997 R390. Nissan took over the project in '98 and extendended the rearend of the car for improved areodynamics I suppose. TWR's original version of the R390 road and race cars were bobtailed... and more beautiful IMO. Gran Turismo 3(?) featured both the '97 and '98 road and race car versions.
