The V12 That Broke The Duopoly
On 6 October 1985, the impossible happened at Mount Panorama. A Jaguar XJ-S V12 won the Bathurst 1000 - breaking an 18-year stranglehold that Ford and Holden had held on the Great Race since 1967. No imported marque had conquered the Mountain in the modern era. The V12 changed everything.
John Goss - already a Bathurst champion from 1974 and the only man to win both the Bathurst 1000 and the Australian Grand Prix - claimed his second crown driving the TWR-prepared #10 Jaguar alongside German ace Armin Hahne. The pair won by 42 seconds, with the sister TWR Jaguar of team owner Tom Walkinshaw and Win Percy finishing third. This was the first race of the new Group A regulations era, and Jaguar had set the standard.
The XJ-S's 5.3-litre V12 howled around the 6.172 km circuit, with Goss setting the fastest lap of the race at 2:21.86. This remains the only V12-powered car to ever win Bathurst - a record that stands alone nearly four decades later.
