How Harry Weslake Gave Jaguar Its Speed – From SS100 to Le Mans Legends

Before Jaguar became a racing powerhouse, its cars were stylish but slow. Enter Harry Weslake, Britain’s master of airflow and combustion. In the 1930s he transformed Standard’s side-valve engines into high-performance powerplants, creating the iconic SS100—one of the fastest cars of its day. Weslake’s genius didn’t stop there. His cylinder heads powered Jaguar’s legendary XK engine, which in turn delivered victory at Le Mans in the 1950s with the C-Type and D-Type. Without Weslake’s engineering brilliance, Jaguar might never have achieved its world-class reputation. Join us as we dive into the story of how one brilliant engineer gave William Lyons’ stylish cars the performance edge that defined Jaguar for decades. Correction: At 7:02, the RR Meteor engine was used in Cromwell tanks, not the Sherman. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share if you love classic car history! #Jaguar #HarryWeslake #SS100 #ClassicCars #JaguarHistory #EngineeringGenius #LeMans #JaguarXK #CTypes #DTypes #MotorsportHistory
