JaguarSport XJR-15 by Peter Stevens (Porter Press International)

Peter Stevens, recipient of the Guild of Motoring Writers’ President’s Trophy, brings his forthright perspective to this personal history of the JaguarSport XJR-15. The acclaimed designer of the McLaren F1 offers unprecedented insight into creating the world’s first fully carbonfibre road car, whilst contextualising it within his broader career including work with Lotus, BMW’s Le Mans programme and Formula 1.

This limited edition of 400 signed copies chronicles the XJR-15’s journey from concept to the million-dollar Intercontinental Challenge series, featuring over 270 illustrations including original sketches and period documentation. The narrative benefits from Stevens’s unique position at the intersection of road car design and motor sport engineering.

Beyond technical documentation, the work provides valuable insight into the relationship between designer Peter Stevens and Tom Walkinshaw during Jaguar’s return to international sports car racing dominance, creating an essential record of this significant period in British automotive design.
