At the time of its introduction in 1961, the Jaguar E-Types, or XK-E, was the most newsworthy of sports cars. The car combined startling styling, a near-150-mph top speed, and a relatively low price for such a complete package. The only thing that could compete performance-wise was a Ferrari at a significantly higher price.
The E-Type was a completely different-looking vehicle than its predecessors. Its projectile-shaped styling was based on the famoud D-Type racers of the 1950's. What had been the most potent optional engine on the XK-150 became the standard engine on the XK-E. The construction was of the unibody type which reduced the weight by 400 pounds. The Jaguar E-Type remains one of the most beautiful automobiles of all times.
