It is based on the XJ13 race car.
By the time the calendars showed the 1960s, Jaguar had developed a LeMans car that would outperform the shining stars of its time, the Aston Martin DBR1 and Ferrari 250. However, the British masterpiece with a V12 engine did not have the opportunity to participate in the races. Instead, the developed vehicle was sold anonymously and never looked back on.
Today, there are countless companies that produce exact replicas of such timeless masterpieces. Predator Performance in Largo, Florida is one of them. This XJ13, which is our guest today and produced by Predator in the 2010s, has a very impressive history. As you can understand from the title, he is the order of actor and WWE wrestler John Cena.
This masterpiece, which uses a 5-speed manual transmission to transmit the power of the V12 engine to the rear wheels, sets off with its impressive British Racing Green paint and Rotiform copper wheels. The replica uses a space chassis with aluminum body panels, as opposed to the original aluminum monocoque, and features an adjustable coilover suspension, perforated brakes, and a removable roof panel.
The original Buttercream leather interior has recently been reupholstered and adorned with black contours with double-diamond stitching that encircles the cockpit.
With just 220 miles (354 km) displayed on the odometer, it seems that he spent most of his time in Cena’s garage and not on the roads. But the good news is that if you have enough money, you can become the new owner of this amazing vehicle. Bring a Trailer (auction site) offers this Jaguar without reservation, and the auction ends in just three days.
Not to mention, at the time of writing this article, the current bid is $72,500 (₺2.5 million). Considering that another XJ13 built by Tempero sold for $478,000 (₺16.3 million) in 2019, Cena’s car got off to a pretty low start.
