Jaguar is poised to stop making combustion cars as it gears up for a major transformation into a premium, low-volume electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer. But, before that, the company has something special in store. To mark the 50th anniversary of the iconic E-Type's production end in 1974, Jaguar's Classic division has created two brand new versions of the legendary car for a devoted fan in Southeast Asia.
New E-Type models feature original 3.8L 'XK' straight-six engine The newly built E-Types aren't replicas of the later models, which have received less admiration over the years. Rather, Jaguar Classic has opted to replicate the stunning Series I convertible.
These cars are powered by the original model's 3.8-liter version of the long-standing 'XK' straight-six engine, keeping a strong link to their historical roots while adding modern enhancements for today's driving conditions. Modern upgrades enhance driving experience To make these cars more usable on a daily basis, Jaguar has made a number of changes.
The original's trio of carburetors has been replaced with electronic fuel injection, while a new five-speed manual gearbox has replaced the four-speed one. Notably, these cars also come with a Bluetooth audio system disguised as the original and a heated windscreen, making them more modern yet classic. Classic E-Type color schemes and luxurious interiors The biggest tribute to the later-period E-Types is evident in the color schemes of these new models.
