The Jaguar E-type or Jaguar XK-E is a model of car manufacturer Jaguar Cars of which three generations were built between 1961 and 1974. The E-type revolutionized the design, performance and handling of sports cars. The price was much lower than that of the competing models, so sales were high. More than 70,000 copies were sold in fourteen years. The Jaguar E-type takes the first place in the Top sports cars of the 60s list.
After Jaguar had achieved a number of successes in the 1950s with the Jaguar D-Type at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was decided to develop a new sports car to replace the Jaguar XK150. The E-type received a revolutionary body design from Malcolm Sayer who had previously designed aircraft for the Bristol Airplane Company. The curves and notches were not only for decoration, but were precisely calculated aerodynamic shapes. Sayer's secret weapon was to stick wisps of wool onto the car to study the airflow when the car was in the wind tunnel. He also had the car photographed with threads of wool when it was driven outside in different weather conditions. To get a good idea of the car, we advise you to come to one of the viewing days.
