AUTOart 1/12 Jaguar D-TYPE 1955 Le Mans 24h Winner 12062 J.M. HOWTHORN I.L.BUEB #6 Jaguar D-Type Autoart The Jaguar D-Type is a representative racing car of the 1950s, and its name became famous especially for its victory in the 1955 Le Mans 24-hour race. The winning car of that year was car number 6, driven by the duo of Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb. They held off strong rivals such as Mercedes, Ferrari, and Aston Martin, and took the top check with an average speed of about 170 km/h. The D-Type features a monocoque structure that applied aviation technology, and a rear fin with excellent aerodynamics. It was equipped with a 3.4-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, and was designed specifically for high-speed endurance races. The 1955 race is also known for a tragic major accident (an accident involving a Mercedes car that caused many deaths), but Jaguar's victory was also a victory of technology and strategy. The D-Type won Le Mans in 1956 and 1957 as well, achieving a three-peat. Its legend is still told today.
