E-Type History & Models
The Jaguar E-Type, also known as the Jaguar XK-E in the United States, is a legendary sports car produced by the British manufacturer Jaguar from 1961 to 1975. Regarded as one of the most beautiful and iconic cars ever made, the E-Type is celebrated for its sleek design, high performance, and exceptional handling. It has become an enduring symbol of automotive excellence and a timeless classic in the world of sports cars.
The E-Type was introduced to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, where it immediately captured the attention of enthusiasts and critics alike with its stunning looks and impressive performance. Designed by Malcolm Sayer and inspired by the Jaguar D-Type racing car, the E-Type represented a significant leap forward in automotive design and technology.
In terms of performance, the E-Type was nothing short of impressive. It was capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in around 7 seconds and reaching a top speed of over 150 mph, making it one of the fastest production cars of its time. Its advanced independent suspension, disc brakes, and rack-and-pinion steering contributed to its exceptional handling and driving dynamics, allowing drivers to enjoy a thrilling and exhilarating experience behind the wheel.
Throughout its production run, the E-Type underwent several updates and revisions to keep it competitive and in line with evolving safety and emissions regulations. In 1966, the Series 1 was replaced by the Series 1.5, which featured numerous small changes, including a larger grille opening, exposed headlamps, and improved interior amenities.

The Series 2, introduced in 1968, further refined the design and introduced additional safety features such as improved cooling and ventilation systems.
Under the hood, the E-Type was powered by a range of inline-six engines, starting with a 3.8-liter unit producing 265 horsepower in the early models. Later versions of the E-Type, introduced in 1964, featured a larger 4.2-liter engine with improved torque and refinement. The engine was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, although an optional three-speed automatic transmission was also available.

One of the most significant changes came in 1971 with the introduction of the Series 3 E-Type. This model featured a completely new V12 engine, replacing the inline-six units of the previous models.
The 5.3-liter V12 engine produced a staggering 272 horsepower and offered smooth, effortless performance. The Series 3 also featured a longer wheelbase, wider track, and revised styling cues, including flared wheel arches and a larger front grille.
