Description

The Jaguar E-Type (known as the XK-E in the United States) is a two-seater sports car with an aerodynamic design inspired by Jaguar racing cars such as the D-Type. The 1961 Series 1 model was notable for its elegant lines, long hood, faired headlights, and a flowing, streamlined rear end. It was equipped with a 3.8-liter inline-six engine, capable of developing 265 horsepower, allowing it to reach speeds close to 240 km/h (150 mph). It also featured four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes, something uncommon for its time. The E-Type was not only a technical breakthrough, but also a work of art on wheels. Even Enzo Ferrari described it as "the most beautiful car ever made."
