This is the Jaguar XJR12 7.0L V12 #3 Winner 1990 Le Mans 24h in 1:18 scale by CMR.

In the 1990 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Jaguar XJR-12, with its powerful 7.0L V12 engine and distinctive Silk Cut Jaguar livery, triumphed with drivers John Nielsen, Price Cobb, and Martin Brundle behind the wheel. This victory marked Jaguar's return to the top of endurance racing, reinforcing the legacy it had built in the 1950s. The XJR-12 was specially designed by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) for maximum endurance, boasting reliability and fuel efficiency without compromising on power, which was crucial for the demanding 24-hour race. The 1990 season at Le Mans was unique due to increased competition from Porsche, Nissan, and Toyota, making Jaguar's victory particularly impressive. This win was a testament to both driver skill and engineering prowess, with Brundle, Cobb, and Nielsen navigating through heavy rain and challenging conditions to secure Jaguar's final Le Mans win of the era.
