About the Jaguar XJ-S TWR:

The Jaguar XJ-S was a luxury British coupe produced from the mid-1970s onward, but thanks to Tom Walkinshaw Racing it also became highly successful in motorsports. Group A racing versions achieved victories in Europe and Australia, with the 1985 Bathurst 1000 win being one of the model’s greatest achievements.
