If you been wondering how a modern-day Jaguar E-Type would look like, here it is. Well, sort of! You see this isn’t a real project, but just some rendering done by Vizualtech paying homage to the E in its 50th birthday.
But everything about it is superb. From the name, Growler, to the way they’ve combined E-Type magnificent lines with modern design features. It looks amazing and we can’t see why Jaguar doesn’t revive the E-Type as a sport/luxury coupe. There’s certainly a big market for it out there. Too bad Vizualtech’s E will only live in computers!
They’ve also dreamed up spot on technical features for it. Based on the chassis of the XK, the Growler gets the same 5.0 liter supercharged V8 as the XKR. The power? Well since it’s a fantasy car you can have as much as you want! I’d go for a million. But a production version could use 600 or so.
Will we last long enough to see a new E-Type Jaguar? We could only hope!
Someone should build that…what a great design!
Please put it in production Please…..
What a fantastic idea! Having owned 6 etypes in my time, I have to say this is actually an improvement over the original, and fully qualified to become the next E-type, and even if Jag did not produce it (which they won’t). The Growler name is not copyrighted, so that would be fine for the car. Now, if enough investors would come forward, this could be a reality. A lot of money has been spent on dumb-ass concepts in cars before, but this one would actually fly, and you would not really have to kiss Jaguar’s ass for their engines when Chrysler now makes the most powerful and reliable hemi out there.
