Jaguar XJR9

==Description==
The Jaguar XJR-9 is a sports prototype race car built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing for use in endurance racing. Designed by Tony Southgate for TWR, the XJR-9 was designed based on the previous XJR-8 model, also designed by Southgate and built by TWR. Powered by a Jaguar V12 in either 6.0L or 7.0L, the cars competed in Group C in the World Sports Prototype Championship and in Group GTP in the IMSA Camel GT Championship. In IMSA, the cars won on their debut at the 1988 24 Hours of Daytona but didn't win another race until the final round of the season, while the cars had more success in the World Sports Prototype Championship, winning the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans and the teams' championship. By 1989 the XJR-9 was dated and was no longer as competitive; it would be replaced by the XJR-11 midway through the 1989 World Sports Prototype Championship, having not won a single race. Eight chassis were produced.
This casting was released in Europe only.
While this casting was named Jaguar XJR-9, this tooling is actually a depiction of the Jaguar XJR-12.
