The Jaguar D-Type #14 is a legendary racing car that played a historic starring role during the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1954. Driven by the famous British duo Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt, this factory car finished in second place after an intense battle in the rain, just 105 seconds behind the winning 4.9-liter Ferrari of José Froilán González and Maurice Trintignant. This was one of the most exciting and closest finishes in the history of the endurance race.
Key Specifications & Facts
Chassis: The 1954 race marked the official debut of the D-Type at Le Mans. Three factory chassis were used for this purpose (#402, #403 and #404). The car with number 14 was chassis XKC404.
Innovative Construction: The Malcolm Sayer-designed D-Type introduced pioneering aviation technology in motorsport, including an aluminium monocoque construction (stressed-skin) and the distinctive aerodynamic fin behind the driver for stability at the high speeds of the Mulsanne Straight.
Engine: Equipped with the proven 3.4-liter XK inline-6 engine, equipped with triple Weber carburetors, which at the time delivered a power output of about 250 hp.
Brakes: The car used innovative disc brakes on all four wheels, a crucial technology that helped Jaguar to brake extremely late in comparison with competitors with drum brakes.
The 1954 Race Course
During the race, all three Jaguar factory cars suffered engine failures that were later traced back to contaminated fuel. While the other two Jaguars (including the #12 of Stirling Moss) had to give up early due to mechanical problems, Hamilton and Rolt managed to recapture themselves. Despite the fuel problems and the fact that the Ferrari had a significantly larger and more powerful V12 engine, the aerodynamic D-Type managed to run spectacularly in the closing stages under heavy rains, to eventually just fall short of victory.
Although the 1954 edition was a narrow defeat, the performance of the #14 laid the foundations for the absolute dominance of the D-Type in the years since, with successive victories at Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957.
