Vehicle Description
A car Enzo Ferrari called "the most beautiful car ever made", the
Jaguar E Type is considered by many to be one of the most gorgeous
automobiles ever built. It took the automotive world by storm upon
its unveiling at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show and still continues to
turn heads to this day. Underneath its gorgeous, aerodynamic
exterior were several state-of-the-art features. Four-wheel
independent suspension was at all four corners along with
four-wheel disc brakes that were mounted inward of the axles in the
rear. A rack-and-pinion unit provided responsive steering and
helped to make the E-type one of the best handling cars of the era.
Power was initially provided by the 3.8 litre straight six from the
XK150S. Producing 265 horsepower, the E-type was capable of more
than 150mph. Combined, these features made the E-type one of the
most celebrated sports cars ever produced with incredible power,
handling, braking, and style that rivaled anything else Europe
produced. With such timeless appeal and praised appearance, it is
no wonder why the Series 1 E Type roadster is one of only a handful
of motorcars on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Coveted in its day by the most sporting of drivers, the E-type
still remains one of the most sought-after cars in history,
especially in Series I Roadster form.
