Jaguar has unveiled its gorgeous new E-Type – fifty years after production of the original E-type models came to a halt.
It’s said that the car is a prototype for future iterations to come, with six different models in the pipeline, which will make up the ‘missing Special GT E-type cars’, right down to the original specifications.
Production methods will mimic those of the 1960s, giving the 3.7-litre straight-six engine the same character and performance as those in the original all-aluminium racing cars. Producing around 344bhp and weighing just over a metric ton (some 114kg less than standard), the Lightweight E-type is claimed to accelerate from 0-60 in around 4.1sec and onto a top speed of over 160mph, making it one of the most capable GT racers of its time.
Customers who purchase the special machines will be able to customise their car to their own unique specifications.
